Brew Day, Batch 361: IPA (Old-School)

Old School as in Goose, Grant's, Liberty, and the like- A pale, very bitter, slightly-stronger-than-normal ale with a pretty good dose of hop flavor and aroma. Mad Hatter actually fits the mold pretty well, at 5-1/4% alcohol and a metric ton o' BUs.

Today's beer is designed to be golden colored, 6ish percent alcohol, 60 BUs, and most importantly, to make the drinker's tongue tingle. Also, (this is important,) no one drinking this beer should find themselves thinking about cat boxes.

Here's what the 10 gallon recipe looks like:

19# Briess 2 row malt
2 # Weyermann Munich I
1 # Weyermann Carahell
.8oz Centennial 10.5% for 60 min.
1 oz Nugget 14.1% for 30 min.
1 oz Northern Brewer 9.9% for 20 min.
1 oz Cascade 8.6% for 20 min.
1 oz Northern Brewer 9.9% for 10 min.
1 oz Cascade 8.6% for 10 min.
1 oz Nugget 14.1% right before strike heat

Single temp infusion with 1qt/lb at 149F for about 40 min. (overkill with Briess)
Chilled to 65F and pitched an active starter of Wyeast 1056. OG is 1.064

I am optimistic.
