This IPA won Frank T. Mitchell best of show at the Third Annual Bruce Street Brewfest Homebrew Competition. Frank adds, “If you want do it right, chase the chemistry. The sulfate:chloride ratio does make a difference. You can turn this beer out perfectly in 10 days or less. I have found the wheat component makes a big deal; try not to cut it back too much, which is why this one dropped a little clearer than I wanted with the CaraRed addition. And the first dry hop needs to be early enough to allow for the yeast biotransformation haze effect.”
