    Hello Guys,
    I have been itching to try a Mango IPA and have mixed a few recipes I found online here and looking for suggestions and tips. This will be my fourth batch so not an expert.
    Speciality Grains:
    2-Row Pale 3 lb Milled - 2lb
    German Munich 1 lb Milled- 8oz
    Honey Malt 1 lb Milled - 4oz
    What do you think about me using Flacked Oats - 1lb?
    Malt Extract:
    Pilsen Briess Dry Malt Extract - 6lb

    Hops:
    Columbus, 8g - 60 min
    Cascade, 24g - 30 min
    Columbus, 24g - 10 min
    Amarillo, 24g - 5 min
    Citra, 24g - 5 min
    Citra, 2oz - Dry Hop

    Yeast.
    US-05 orWhite Labs East Coast Ale yeast or OYL200 Tropical IPA- Omega yeast.

    I am planning to Dry hop and add 5lb of Mango puree, on Day 10 and Keg/bottle on Day 14/15. I won't be doing a secondary as I just use the buckets and I am worried about oxygen contamination.
    Does this sound ok?
    Also have any of you tried Fierce fruit purees?

    Well, if you do a mini-mash, everything should convert. That's a lot of Honey Malt, though. I don't go above 1/4# and it's noticeable. It's a potent malt.
    Hopbill looks ok, albeit a little complicated, (personally, I'd move the 5min additions to FO, ) and I see know reason why not to go ahead as planned.
    As you get more and more in touch with your system, you will streamline things more and more. I'd say go for it, practice good sanitation guidelines, and you should be ok.

    Thank you MrOH, just to make sure is 4oz of Honey Malt too much for a 5 gallon batch?

    Thank you, Will do!

    4oz/5gal is the sweet spot for me. Emphasis on sweet. YMMV. I use it in most of my hoppy ales and saisons. Nice touch of sweet at that level without overwhelming things.
