Red IPA

Hi,

I have been lovng the Coopers NEIPA recipe. I have made it twice now, second time I tried the Coopers IPA can instead and both have been sensational so thanks first up!
I would really lke to use a similar mathod to make a red IPA. Has anyone ever made one using a combination of grain and a can? If so, would love some recommendations on which grains, hops etc
Thanks!

Thanks mate Ill give it a crack soon and let you know how it turns out!

Wouldn't mind trying some different hops though

I'll do some drinking research on this!

Ok so here are my thoughts on this going to give it a try would love your feedback:

1.40 kg Gladfield American Ale Malt
300g Simpsons Dark Crystal
50g kg Roasted Barley
Use paint strainer bag for BIAB. Use cake cooler for applying heat with bag in.

Start with 5-6L of water
Strike temp 73deg to get mash temp of 67
Mash for 1hr

While waiting
• Put tin of Coopers IPA in sink full of hot water to reduce viscosity.
• Bring another 4-5L of water to near boil for sparging
• Sanitise fermenter

Lift mash bag and squeeze
Sparge with 4-5L of hot water

Bring to boil (might take 15min)
Boil for 15 min (partly to sanitise)

Turn off heat, Add ~1L cold water
Then add
40.00 g Simcoe [12.00 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 15.0 min
40.00 g Mosaic [14.00 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 15.0 min
20.00 g Citra [10.00 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 15.0 min

Transfer wort to Fermenter – use strainer for hops

Add
0.50 kg Coopers Light Dry Extract
1.70 kg tin Coopers IPA
1kg Dextrose

Add chilled water to make up to 21L and reduce temp to pitching temp.

Take OG

Pitch Safale US-05 Yeast

Dry hop 4 days – use hop bag
40g Simcoe
40g Mosaic
30g Citra

and thats it - should I add hops during boil or just stick to recipe above?

cheers
