BJCP Style – 21 IPA

To get things rolling on brewing a beer in every BJCP Category, I hit everyones love/hate Style 21B New England IPA. Don’t get me wrong I love a good old West Coast IPA, but I’m really loving this newer style.

I hit a wall on the braumeisters grainbill capacity trying to get to an OG of 1.066, ended up replacing a small portion of base malt with some DME. Turns out my efficiency was higher than expected as I ended up with an OG of 1.071, and a FG of 1.011. That may be due to using brewersfriend for my recipe formulation on this one, rather than my default of Beer Tools Pro.

Sparging the malt pipe.

Mash ph was a little on the high side at 5.5, but still acceptable.

Transfering into the ss brewtech bucket. Before being placed into the fermentation fridge.

I’ve been on a real Toppling Goliath Pseudo Sue kick since we got the new brewed in Decorah, IA cans. I’ll be using this as a starting point as an inspired by brew. This is also the first time trying out the beerxml plugin from Derek Springer over at Five Blades Brewing. So far I’m liking the layout better than the text import from brewers friend.

The misc grains arrived yesterday and the yeast should be here sometime today, with the conical being tied up with the Session Janets Brown from last week, I’m hoping to get this one brewed next weekend or early the following week.
