Michella IPA

Here’s a slight variation on Ipanema that I’m brewing for Michelle’s postnatal enjoyment. She gave up beer and coffee without too much fuss or complaint when she found out she was pregnant, and I even gave it up for a while. Soon she’ll be able to have a little herself, so I’d better get this one brewed.

Grain bill:

  • 7 lbs LME
  • 1.5 lbs domestic 2-row
  • 1 lbs domestic Munich
  • 0.5 lbs Belgian biscuit

Hops:

  • 1.25 oz Palisades @ 60 min. (9.7% aa)
  • 1.50 oz Palisades @ 10 min.
  • 1.0 oz Palisades @ 5 min.
  • 1.0 oz Palisades @ 2 min.
  • 1.0 oz Palisades @ secondary

Misc:

  • Fermentis us-58 dry yeast (with 1 liter starter)
  • Irish Moss

This one will have to be fermented in the basement since it cools down to 80F in the house overnight.
