How much US 05 for a strong IPA
Guys
Starting a brew and generally aim for 5% beers..I am making my first "Joking" IPA that you can clean your teeth with and am aiming for approx 6.5%/ 7%...Should I be using 1 or 2 packs of US 05 (DRY) given the OG will be a fair bit higher?
Thx

I just Pitched one pack for 20L of 1.067 - the reults are still to be seen... but the F.G is about 1.013 (currently on D rest with dry hops). Preliminary results in terms of aroma are very very clean. No sulphur, acetyldehyde or diacetyl.. just a soft fruityness coming through (amongst all the hops) that is quite complementary.
I gave the brew quite a lot of aeration and servomyces, so I think that those 2 factors were very helpful in this instance.
