- El Segundo Brewing Company (El Segundo, California) Founder and Brewmaster Rob Croxall shared this recipe for one of the first IPAs he brewed.
- Notes:
- Mash the grains at 148°F (64°C) for 60 minutes. Sparge at 168°F (75°C), bring to a boil, and boil for 60 minutes, following the hops schedule. Whirlpool and cool to 68°F (20°C) rapidly. Maintain fermentation temperature at 68°F (20°C). Once primary fermentation and diacetyl rest are complete, drop the temperature to 60°F (15°C) and dry hop for 7 days. Don’t use a filter or finings; the beer should finish with a medium haze but shouldn’t be murky. Carbonate to 2.5 vols of CO2.
