lucille IPA
I had for the first time a Lucille IPA from Georgetown, I'm in love with it. Any good guesses how it is made, recipes? I would love to make all my IPA's this way, love the PINE. any help would be great. I looked it up and they said they use 2 row Pale, I have only used extracts, so looking for an extract way of brewing this.
After a quick search I found this:
http://seattlebeernews.com/2010/10/revi … place-pub/
however beeradvocate as well as yourself mentions a high pine aroma and flavor, so I would think there would be some simcoe and possibly palisade as well, DFH uses palisade in their 60 minute for that affect.
Going by the look and descriptions I would shoot for something as a basic IPA recipe and tweak from there. Shoot for an OG of about 1.055-1.060, and IBUs of about 60-65.
I would try something like:
10 #s light DME
steep
.5 # crystal 15
.5 # crystal 40
.5 # melanoidin (will give that nice orangy hue)
.5 oz centennial 60
.25 oz columbus 60
.5 oz amarillo 30
.5 oz cascade 30
.5 oz amarillo 10
.5 oz simcoe 10
.5 oz cascade 0
.5 oz simcoe 0
Dryhop with 1 oz simcoe 1 oz cascade
US-05, wyeast1056 or whitelabs wlp001
Brew it, then tweak from there.
If you're brewing in a smaller pot (i.e. 3 gallon pot/2 gallon boil and adding to 3 gallons of cold water) remember to do a late extract addition, where you add half the malt to the boil, than the other half with 20-30 minuets to go, otherwise you'll end up with a much lower IBU than you were shooting for, a mistake I made on a recent batch that is oh so malty! Not bad, but not what I was shooting for.
I had this at the Bremerton brewfest; it was very good.
Manny Chao makes some great beers. From what I recall he used to work for Mac n Jack's until he started Georgetown brewing.
Manny says it's all Amarillo, Centennial, and Cascade. He says he gets the pineyness from the Cascades.
