This is a JUICY HAZY IPA that uses a new yeast strain from Imperial Yeast called "Capri". After about 1-2 weeks below 38°F/3°C, the clarity becomes bright with minimal haziness.
SPECIFICATIONS
The grain and hop amounts will vary depending on your batch size. I recommend using BeerSmith for scaling, calculating, and planning beer recipes.
*Note that hop bitterness does not scale linearly.
Alcohol Content | BOIL TIME | Original Gravity (OG) | Final Gravity (FG) | IBU (estimated) |
6.9 % ABV | 60 mins | 1.057 | 1.005 | 43 |
RECIPE
GRAIN | % OF TOTAL BILL |
2-row | 86% |
Maris Otter | 14% |
HOPS | AMOUNT | SCHEDULE |
Cascade | 13 IBU | Boil for 60 mins |
Citra | 15 IBU | Boil for last 30 mins |
Mosaic | 7 IBU | Boil for last 30 mins |
Citra (LupoMax) | 6 IBU | Whirlpool for 15 mins at 190°F/88°C |
Cascade (LupoMax) | 5 IBU | Whirlpool for 15 mins at 190°F/88°C |
Mosaic (LupoMax) | 3 IBU | Whirlpool for 15 mins at 190°F/88°C |
DRY HOP: I dry hop this beer on day 3 and again on day 5 with equal parts of Cascade, Citra, and Mosaic (0.75 oz of each variety for each hop charge in a 5 gallon batch)
YEAST: Capri (Imperial Yeast)
WATER
Any good-tasting, chlorine-free water is sufficient. I use 100% reverse osmosis water adjusted to:
Component | Concentration (ppm) |
Calcium (Ca) | 75 |
Sodium (Na) | 40 |
Magnesium (Mg) | 12 |
Chloride (Cl) | 68 |
Sulfate (SO4) | 148 |

Dry hop as specified
I like to purge each dry hop charge from the cone of the fermenter after 2-3 days of contact time.
Let rise to 74°F/23°C when gravity reaches 1.020 (5 Plato)
