Pale Force IPA

To contrast with Code Name: One I brewed a normal recipe for my IPA from Austin Homebrew Supply. This won't wind up being as good of a learning experience as I thought it was going to be, because I truncated Code Name: One's secondary fermentation to get it ready in time for the superbowl. It will, however, give me 10 gallons of beer instead of 5 gallons of beer, so it's not all bad. 

Here are the ingredients for my normal Pale Force IPA recipe:

Crushed Grain

1lb of Crystal 20L

Extract

9lbs of Extra Light Liquid Extract

Hops in the Boil

1oz Nugget for 60 Minutes

0.5oz of Perle for 30 Minutes

2oz of Centennial for 15 Minutes

Yeast

Safale S-04

Dry Hopping 

1oz Centennial

0.5oz Chinook

Additional Ingredients

Whirlfloc

Initial Specific Gravity

1.062 taken at  72ºF

The boil went well, and the wort looked and smelled like a standard IPA wort should. The only procedural "problem" that I had was that my mini-mash of the crystal 20L was at a higher temperature than I wanted. It was at about 170ºF instead of the 155ºF that I was aiming for. I don't think this will be an issue, because this malt was added for the color and flavor it will impart on the beer, and not for its fermentables. The only possible affect this could have on the finished product is to give it a imperceptibly lower alcohol content, and a slightly thicker mouth feel.
