Notes

https://thebeerjunkies.com/white-ipa/ The White IPA is a specialty IPA that, like all specialty styles, is very unique. It is a collaboration between a Belgian Witbier and an American IPA. The result is a fruity, refreshing beer with a mix of Belgian spices and citrusy hops. The guidelines are listed below. Original Gravity: 1.056 – 1.065 Final Gravity: 1.010 – 1.016 Alcohol by Volume: 5.5% – 7.0% Bitterness: 40-70 IBU Color (SRM): 5-6 WHEAT Torrified wheat lends a very distinctive 'breakfast cereal' flavor and aroma, some off-putting sulphury notes (that fade), but great residual wheat haze and outstanding foam. Rolled wheat produces a beer with a dry and soft mouthfeel, excellent fresh wheat flavour and seems to aid in the development of Coopers-like esters of pear and apricot when using WLP400. HOPS The hops are what really set this style apart from a Belgian Witbier. There is a high bitterness, so for bittering hops, add between 20 and 25 IBUs of any high alpha acid hop at 60 minutes. This includes hops such as Columbus, Warrior, Magnum, and Chinook. For the flavoring and aroma hops, use an American variety that adds citrusy and fruity flavors. Some of our favorites, which are described in greater depth below, are Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy. Add around 20-25 IBUs worth of your choice of hop at 15 minutes left in the boil, and 1 ounce per 5 gallons at flameout of the same hop. Flavoring and Aroma Hops Amarillo – has an alpha acid percentage between 8 and 9 percent, and adds citrusy and flowery flavors. Cascade – has an alpha acid percentage between 4 and 7 percent, and adds a flowery, spicy, citrusy, grapefruity character. Centennial – has an alpha acid percentage between 8 and 11.5 percent, and adds a citrusy and floral character. Citra – has an alpha acid percentage between 10 and 15 percent, and adds a citrusy and grapefruit character. Mosaic – has an alpha acid percentage between 11.5 and 13.5 percent, and adds a berry, fruity, and earthy character. Galaxy – has an alpha acid percentage between 11 and 16 percent, and adds a citrusy, peachy, passion fruit character.
