Bit O Honey

Continuing to take a Half Hearted IPA clone recipe and evolve it into new beers, I added Simcoe hops to the mix as well as some honey directly into the fermenter at high krausen.

Grist:
8 lbs Briess 2-row
1 lb Briess Caramel 40l
1 lb Munich Malt

Hops:
1oz Centennial 60 min
1.25oz Centennial 20 min
1oz Centennial 5 min
1 oz Simcoe 2 min
Dry hop 1oz Centennial, 1oz Simcoe, .5oz Cascade (7-10 days)

Yeast:
S-05 cake from Pale Ale

Mash 4.8 gallons 165 degree water target 153
Sparge 3.4 gallons 186 degree ater

60 min boil

Target OG 1.070 Actual 1.067 (before honey)

Brew Date 11.22.13

Update: The honey really dried this beer out over time...different, but very good
