Success in IPA’s

Another fan of the simple grain bill. 2-row and 8 oz carapils is my usual grist. Probably don’t even need to carapils. My next IPA I’m going to try 8 oz of oats for the hell of it. If it’s hazy, that won’t bother me. I kinda like that. I always use US-05 and I ferment at about 65. Mash low, 148-149. I like to finish at 1.006-1.008. I use at least 2 oz Columbus @ 60, 4 oz late in the kettle and big dry hop. Dry, bitter, and lots of juicy hops.

If you hadn’t been in on the joke, would you have thought it was an IPA?

So, I brewed a pale beer that had a lb of citra between the last ten min of the boil and a hop stand, and another 4 oz as a dry hop (and some mosaic in the keg).

But it was fermented entirely with 3 strains of Brett, so I guess it wasn’t an IPA.

Are we talking about a session IPA here or not?
