Verdent IPA

I have been interested in trying a yeast by a well know IPA brewery in the UK. Verdant’s yeast is available through Lallemand. Below is a recipe based on one by David Heath Homebrew. I adjusted it to fit my system and swapped for hops I have on hand.

Verdant IPA – OG 1.056 / FG 1.010 / ABV 6% / IBU 44 / SRM 6

13# Marris Otter
4# Vienna
3.75# Flaked Oats
1.25# Crystal 20L

2oz Comet @ 10min
2.5oz El Dorado @ 10min
2oz Comet @ 20min whirlpool @ 175˚
2oz El Dorado @ 20min whirlpool @ 175˚

Mash at 149° for 60 minutes then raise to 168° and hold for 10 minutes.  Collect 14 gallons and boil for 60 minutes. Produces 12 gallons at the end of the boil and 11 gallons in the fermenter.
