Kiwi Express IPA

From Northern Brewer

5 gallons extract

0.5 lbs Briess Caramel 20

2 lbs Briess DME
6 lbs Pilsen malt syrup (late addition: 15 min.)

1/2 oz Pacific Jade (60 min.)
3.5 oz Kiwi Express Blend (Pacific Jade, Motueka, Super Alpha) (10 min.)
4 oz Kiwi Express Blend (Pacific Jade, Motueka, Super Alpha) (dry hop)

Wyeast 1056 American Ale

Pitched: 10/19/2012; SG 1.060
Secondary: 11/11/2012; SG 1.015
Kegged: 11/27/2012; SG 1.015

Notes: I had the ingredients in the fridge for a while and had to brew it before I took a trip. The wait didn't seem to have done the hops any harm -- the smell as I opened each pouch was intense. The quantity of hops in the full boil is surprisingly small, but the flavour was excellent at the transition to the secondary.
