OmaHops 2000 Club Brew



In conjunction with National Homebrewing Day, OmaHops brewed 80 gallons of IPA at Mike Sanford's home.  Club members mashed 200 lbs. of grain to brew a 1.060 IPA with Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley yeast.   To a make a brew of these epic proportions, the following was needed:  150 lbs. of Ashburne Mild ale malt, 30 lbs. Harrington 2-row malt, 5 lbs. wheat malt, 2.5 lbs. Belgian Munich malt, 2.5 lbs. Belgian Caramunich malt, and 10 lbs. of Belgian Aromatic malt.  Yum, pass the hops.  It took 12.5 ounces of Columbus (one hour in the kettle).  The brew was first wort hopped with 15 ounces of that wonderful Slovenian hop, Styrian Golding.
