Don's Daring IPA

7 lbs Pale,
2 lbs Caramunich I
1 lb Caramalt
1/2 lb Smoked
1 oz Cascade (added before being brought to boil)
1 oz Mt Hood and 1 oz Chinook (added at 10 minutes to end of boil)
1/2 oz of Mt Hood and Chinook (added at 1 minute to end of boil)
Northwestern Liquid Yeast

Mashed at 130F, and 150F. We added water at about 190F, which was less than what Papazan said we should use. It resulted in a post-immersion temperature of 140F, necessitating some use of the turkey boiler to raise temperature. Next time we'll just boil water, and let it cool a minute before using it to raise temperature. Sparged with ~1.5 gal, creating 6 gal batch. We boiled for 1 hour. We were advised be a very experienced home brewer to try adding our flavor hops at 30 minutes to end of boil, but we thought that was too long. We used 30 lbs of ice to cool wort down to about 70F.

OG: 1.042
FG: 1.006
