Simcoe IPA

I currently have two Leener's Kit Ale's on tap. I got both of these for Christmas. They're an IPA (which I dryhopped with Amarillo plugs) and the other is Dortmunder. My first homebrewing ever was also from Leener kits and I can only recommend them. These kits are unbeatable for good, easy and inexpensive beermaking.

But this weekend, i went back to working on finding my ideal IPA. I started with the Ruination clone recipe from before and started swapping things out to get more of a Alpine Duet flavor profile.

Here's what I brewed:

Malt

• 6.5# light malt extract syrup
  
• 1.5# DME
  

Steep

• 1# 10L Crystal Malt
  
• 1# Dark Munich Malt
  

Bittering

• 2oz. Simcoe
  

Flavoring

• 1oz. Simcoe
  
• 2oz. Amarillo
  

Yeast

• White Labs California Ale Yeast
  

Aroma

• 1oz. Simcoe
  
• 2oz. Amarillo
  

I pitched the yeast at 71 degrees at which time it had an OG of 1.056.
