Notes

Attempt to make this IPA red, like a true Aqua Regia! I understand an ounce and a half of black patent might do it. . .my IPA recipes are 6.5 gallons due to the amount of hops that I use.

0 min boil hop = Post Boil Swirl Hops.

Mash at 150F. Kill the flame after the 90 min boil and add the Post Boil hops, swirl, cover and let sit for 60 min. After 60 min, drop the temp quickly, pitch and ferment at 70F for 14-17 days. Cold crash to 40F before racking to secondary. Rack to secondary, let the beer warm back to pitching temperature, and dry hop. I like to rack to a layer of CO2 covered hops (in this case, sack full of whole hops) in secondary. Add the turbinado to a cup of water and boil for 5 minutes, chill and pitch when ready to bottle. Bottle at 70F.
