looking for a recipe to use up my extra grains!!!!
planning a double brew this weekend. I am brewing a barleywine for my first brew and want to use up my summer grains for my second brew. I was planning a amarillo wheat beer but i don't want this beer anymore being winter i want something more complex. heres what i have to work with
1. 5 lbs 2 row (rahr)
2. 4 lbs red wheat
3. 2 lbs briess wheat malt
4. 1 lb belgian caravienne malt
5. 4 oz amarillo hops
i am looking for a complex beer with a lot of flavor none that overpower another. or a really hoppy but smooth IPA. Looking for one of the advanced brewers here to help me out with a recipe that will do just that.
I don't mind picking up any specialty grains or hops to complete this batch as long as they are readily available.
I don't think you'd have enough pale to go with an IPA. Don't think there's much wheat in them....
If you want a simple IPA, and you get some more pale you'd be set. You'd need at least 7-8 lbs of pale base malt to start. I don't know how hoppy you could get, but I think Amarillo have good strength depending on your AA%......The caravienne could be used as well, but maybe not the full 4 lbs as it's generally used in Abbey ales...Maybe 2lbs caravienne with 8 lbs pale.....that's a fairly simple grain bill. Then split the hops up throughout the boil giving up to 45-50 IBUs.......
yeah that sounds like a good plan pick up some extra malt. Any good ideas for a paring with the amarillo if i'm gonna get some grains i could get some extra hops as well. wouldn't mind a 60-65 IBU beer.

I see a lot, a lot, a lot of IPA recipe that use Amarillo and Cascade, however Amarillo is pretty much a super Cascade, kind of like Centennial. Depending on your Amarillo strength, you probably don't need much more, if any at all. ....Hmmm, thinking...thinking.....How does this sound? (guessing on your Amarillo AA @ 8.5%)
Grain:
8 lb. British pale
3 lb. Belgian CaraVienne
1 lb. 8 oz. American 2-row
75% efficiency
90 minute boil
Hop schedule :
1 oz. Amarillo (8.5% AA, 60 min.)
1 oz. Amarillo (8.5% AA, 40 min.)
.4 oz. Amarillo (8.5% AA, 20 min.)
3 oz. Amarillo (aroma)
15 HCU (~9 SRM)
Bitterness: 61 IBU
PB: 1.043 --- OG: 1.058 --- FG: 1.014 --- 5.6% abv
That sounds pretty good......you have some American grain, some Belgain grain, and some British grain.....like an international IPA. You could also put the last 3oz in secondary for dry hopping instead if you prefer....if you want a higher IBU, adjust the addition times to 60-50-40 which gives up 66 IBUs....
Also note, this is based on my brewing technique of 8 gallon boil for 90 minutes to get 6 gallons finished approximately with 75-80% efficiency.....
yeah now we are talking this recipe sounds good. i'll give it a shot. thank you
no grain left behind!!!
Since caravienne is a crystal malt, I'm thinking 3 lbs might be a bit much. I'd cut back on the caravienne, up either the US or British 2 row, and even add half a pound of wheat. I like the idea of a single hop IPA. The only thing I'd change about the hopping schedule would to take 1 of the 3 ounces from the aroma addition and add it around 10-15 minutes for more flavor. Just my 2 cents.
I was thinking the 3lbs of caravienne is a bit much being a carmelized malt, but how bad could it be? The hops are going to be fairly strong to balance the malt sweetness it will produce. As for the hop aroma addition, I originally put some at 15 and 5, but the IBUs were getting up to the mid 70s...
I'm doing a big ass IPA in a few weeks with continuous hopping, including mash hopping. I've heard it adds good deep flavor and aroma that doesn't get boiled off as much as you'd think. I've also heard it does nothing. I figure I've got the hops, and I want to try it out anyway see how it affects the final product.....either way, I think I may add this to my list of batches to try.....
