Steamboat IPA

I am brewing this for a ski trip to Steamboat Springs in Feb 2009. My original IPA (Angus IPA) just didn't hit the mark. A good beer, but not quite perfect. I'm mixing up my ingredients a bit on this one.

Brewer: Doug Kraus Email: doug.kraus@mac.com
Beer: Steamboat IPA Style: India Pale Ale
Type: Extract w/grain Size: 5 gallons
Color:
17 HCU (~10 SRM)
Bitterness: 58 IBU
OG: 1.056 FG: 1.015
Alcohol: 5.3% v/v (4.2% w/w)
Water: Use tap water set out overnight or at least for a few hours to let the chlorine dissapate a bit. I usually add 1/4 tsp gypsum pre-boil.
Grain: 8 oz. American 2-row
8 oz. American victory
8 oz. American crystal 60L
Steep: Grains are put in a grain bag and set in about a gallon of 145° and put in oven to keep temp. Another gallon of water is put in oven as well to use for sparge. After an hour the bag is put in a collander over the brew pot and I sparge slowly with other gallon.
Boil: 60 minutes SG 1.056 5 gallons
7 lb. Light malt extract
1/4 tsp irish moss at 15 minutes.
Hops: 1 oz. Galena (13% AA, 60 min.)
1 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 15 min.)
1 oz. Cascade (aroma)
Yeast: Trying something different this time: White Labs WLP023 Burton Ale Yeast (liquid).
Carbonation: I keg this and carbonate to 2.0.
Tasting: I haven't brewed this yet. Notes to follow.
