Wicked Crispy (IPL)

Simple Mash:
1) Fill false bottom at 65C
2) Add 8.5L of TBD C water to crushed grain: 65C for 90 mins
5) Lauter and sparge to collect 21L

Ferment and package:
a) Rehydrate yeast
b) Pitch to 21C wort
c) Once visible signs of fermentation are evident, ferment at 12.5C for 1 week or until fermentation shows signs of calm and stopping
d) Rack, dry hop, and lager at 1.5C to 7C for 3-6 weeks
e) Keg and carbonate

In this video, I brewed a beer that is very similar to a West Coast IPA, but is still totally different: An IPL, or India Pale Lager, with Centennial and Idaho 7. Where an IPA is fermented with ale yeast, an IPL is fermented with lager yeast, creating a crisper, cleaner and brighter background for the hops and malt to shine against. You can do this with a classic lager fermentation, but I chose to warm ferment Saflager W-34/70, which is still a lager and still creates a clean beer, but doesn&#039;t produce off flavors even at ale temperatures. I also did this under pressure for good measure, and I show you a good technique for dry hopping your beer under pressure. This is a surprisingly  easy beer to make, even without the equipment, and makes for an impressive homebrew. It was bursting with flavors of grapefruit, dankness and resin with a clean, crackery, cerealy malt background. To top it all off, its WAY more crisp than an IPA.<br />
