White IPA

Is this some sort of wheated IPA?

 

Sam Adams just put one out too. They say its a mix between a Belgian White and an American IPA, so yes, wheat. That's more or less what Boulevard says as well.

From Boulevard's site about collaboration #2:

There are the ingredients right there for you OP. Sorry I don't have a recipe for you... White beer malt ratios with IPA hop ratios?

 

Pretty sure it's more than just wheat additions. Last one I had was fermented out with witbier yeast.

 

Agreed. Using American Ale yeast isn't going to cut it.

That NB recipe seems like the right direction.

Heck, I'm sold already.

 

Just email them & ask for the recipe. They freely give it out. They won't divulge the yeast strain as it is proprietary but hey, can't have it all. My buddy & I brewed a Tank 7 clone. If you're experienced, they'll even give you the water specs too. The person that handles these types of inquires is a woman (can't remember her name but have met her several times) & they are glad to do it. Ask & ye shall receive.

Mr. Honkey...please pick up the white hospitality phone at the closest kiosk.

 

I'll let you know in a couple weeks. That is if it turns out well.

 

The white zone is for loading and unloading only. If you're going to load, or if you're going to unload, you go to the white zone. It's a way of life.

 

Looking to brew a White IPA this weekend. Curious how the previous posters' batches turned out. Care to share results? A recipe? I've only brewed twice before, but never on my own. Heading to the brew supply store tomorrow. The Collaboration #2 looks great, ingredients wise. Has anyone formulated a recipe? Thanks everyone!
