Brew Class; Quaker IPA #18

Have a couple of students today to learn the technique of brewing full grain with minimal investment.

Today's recipe #18 Quaker IPA

10 lbs two row
1 lb flaked oats
1/4 lb crystal malt
1/8 lb chocolate malt

1 oz Gelena
1 oz Cascade
1 oz U.S. Kent Golding

safale US-05 dry yeast

$31.22

Today we start with an IPA and make a small tweek. I am hoping the oats will provide a silky creaminess and the crystal and choc will provide a hint of flavor for this otherwise dry recipe.

The hop will provide enough bitterness for this light grain bill that it might be a tongue bare knuckle beat down. We will see.

Pics to follow.

Can you see the rolled oats?

The aroma, you love it or hate it.

And if you hate it, it probably means you don't like beer, foreign action adventure movies, or snarking on political blogs either. Speaking of political blogs...Paul Ryan is welcome to drink my beer any day...current occupier...not. We can haz a beer summit.
