Notes: Other people's session IPAs are either too wimpy, too cat-urine-ey, soapy, over-aged (I like 'em fresh), or just plain gross. This is a fine, bog-standard IPA, with few frills. I like to change the hop varietals around, but I generally stick to one all around hop, just to showcase that. Adding the hops in the last ten minutes gives it an amazing flavour and a different bittering tone than a full 60 minute hop boil, at the cost of using a boat-load of messy hop pellets. I strain them out with a funnel and a women's stocking. Cheap and effective.
And yes, I consider 7.64% ABV sessionable, thirst-quenching, and whatever pretentious adjectives apply. It's all about 2 things with me, effectiveness and flavor. 7.64 is definitely an effective brew, and it ages fast enough in a kegging system that by the time it's just right for drinking, the hops have hit their peak balance, and will stay that way for a couple more weeks. With a bottling setup, you'd have to lose a pound of malt extract, and settle for a wimpier brew to get the freshness ratio about right.
And don't worry about that crazy looking IBU ratio. Even my wife likes this batch, and she's not a fan of overly bitter IPAs |

Notes: Apples: cook cores/skins with fruit to 4lb in about 1.5 gallons of water (expecting 0.4 gal loss to boil). No fruit in primary (cooking is an extract process, fruit will be strained after a long cook). Skins make up at least 1lb of the total fruit solids. Accepting some pectin haze may remain in spite of enzyme addition in primary.
Make 2 quarts of strong tea with preferred mulling spices by adding off boil water; allow to stand until cool.
Juice: 3 gal. Apple Juice
1 gal apple juice = 8.34lb
(1) 12fl oz concentrate juice = 48fl oz juice/3.12lb juice
Total volume:
3 gal juice
0.50 gal honey
1.5 gal water
Sorbate in secondary, back sweeten to 1.01 gravity. No carbonation. Sweeten with either honey or apple juice concentrate as needed for balanced flavor. Alternately, bottle dry and mix with apple cider & mulling spices before serving for the Holidays :-D
