#BeerForGood: Resilience IPA Homebrew Recipe

As you may already know, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and over 1,000 craft breweries across the country are brewing Resilience ‘Butte County Proud’ IPA to raise money for the victims of the Camp Fire. While homebrewers cannot legally sell the beer, they can participate by brewing the homebrew recipe and helping to raise awareness of the initiative via social media. We recommend including the following hashtags in your social media posts: #ResilienceIPA #ButteStrong #BeerForGood #BrewLife

Per Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.:

“If you are brewing Resilience IPA for fundraising purposes, please submit all contributions to the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief Fund, supported through the Golden Valley Bank Community Foundation.”

Instructions

Mash grains at 152° F for 60 minutes. If including a mash out step, raise temperature to 168° F and hold for ten minutes. Sparge with 168° F water to collect 6.53 gallons of wort.

Bring to a boil and add hops at times noted. At flame-out, stir wort to cool slightly and add whirlpool hops. Let rest for 20 minutes before chilling the rest of the way to pitch temperature.

Pitch yeast. Ferment at 60-62° F. Add dry hops towards the end of active fermentation, when SG is around 1.020-1.024. Let rest for four days or until fermentation is complete.

Cold crash to drop hops out of solution. Rack to secondary or keg.

Extract Option

Substitute 2-row for 8.5 lb of pale liquid malt extract or 7 lb pale dry malt extract. Steep crystal malt in brew pot for 20 minutes at 167° F. After steeping, remove specialty grains and bring water to a boil.

Note: when adding malt extract, it is recommended to turn off or remove heat so as not to scorch the extract on the bottom of the pot.
