Notes

This recipe is designed to emphasize fruit and citrus aromas and flavors in the IPA by using hops with these attributes, including Galaxy.

A 2016 article by Ray Found in the website brulosophy.com (http://brulosophy.com/) reported that a 20 minute hop boil achieved the same results as a 20 minute hop stand. Taste tests revealed virtually no difference between boil and hop stand additions. Accordingly, I have opted to eliminate boiling in lieu of a hop stand.

The amount used for dry hopping is based on an article in Zymurgy magazine (Vol 43, No. 2, March/April 2020, pages 34-41) which reported an Oregon State University study found that dry hopping with more than 8 grams per liter (5.4 oz. per 5 gallon batch) produced a herbal and tea like aroma with no citrus qualities. The study suggested that using 4-8 grams per liter (2.7 to 5.4 oz. per 5 gallon batch) was sufficient to maximize the desired citrus aroma. Accordingly, 5 oz. was used for this recipe
