Near-Sighted Swine IPA
Brewed: 07/29/2018 Kegged: 08/12/2018
 Surprisingly, I don't brew a lot of real hoppy IPA's. My only IPA up until late August 2014 was TommyHawk, and that isn't really a huge hop-bomb.
On #IPADay 2014, I came up with my own "west-coast" IPA recipe, calling it Near-Sighted Swine. The name "Near-Sighted Swine" is a tribute to Russian River's Blind Pig. Zymurgy Magazine posted a clone recipe in July/August of 2012 that I always thought would be fun to try. For this recipe, I looked at the Zymurgy clone and then pretty much ignored it.
This recipe uses lots of Citra hops, because I had a bunch and because I liked them the only other time I used them (see Pompously Illegitimate). For this recipe, I decided I wanted more than one hop and thought Amarillo was as good as any to throw in there.
It isn't really very big in alcohol at 6 or 6.5%. This is where I think IPAs should be. It will hopefully finish pretty dry with not much malt sweetness at all. It is very light in color (much lighter than Blind Pig I think).
Anyway, it is a typical west-coast IPA. It uses most of its hops late in the boil or in the "whirlpool", so hop flavor and aroma should dominate the beer more than hop bitterness.

Recipe Notes
Water salt
additions to target "Hoppy Bitter" in Beer Smith based on starting with the
Denver water profile.
Final:
Ca=114,Mg=11,Na=21,SO4=259,Cl=23,HCO3=104
For "whirl pool", simply turn
off the burner, stir and let the hops steep for 30 minutes before the
chill.
Pitch at about 60F. Ferment with ice blocks to keep below 65 for
1st few days, then remove and let it rise to room temp as long as it is less
than 72. After the fermentation activity slows down (4 or 5 days), dry hop and
leave in fermenter two weeks total.
