Freight costs for passage on the canals, the major source of transportation, were 60 shilling L3 per ton. In addition, thieves along the canal often stole spirits, wine, and beer, replacing the stolen beverage with water. If they were to reach London in good condition, shipments needed protection, further adding to the cost. In order to facilitate business transactions and handling and stowage, the casks needed to be uniform in size and shape. Furthermore, these casks had to be built to withstand the rigors of shipping. The new casks required Allsopp to lay out considerable sums of money before the real venture even began. After reaching London the ale had to get by the English excise officers, and once they arrived in India they had to be approved by tasters who could accept or reject any shipment. In Allsopp's case, the first news from India was not good. The first consignment ran into trouble with the tasters, and the beer earned only 20 rupees per hogshead while Hodgson received 25 rupees. The second and third consignments reaching India, however, brought 40 rupees per hogshead each. From there, the news got even better. One letter from a Mr. Bailton stated the following:. Other letters arriving from merchants in India testified that Allsopp's Ale was the unanimous favorite of the customers. These optimistic reports encouraged Allsopp to increase his efforts in the next shipping season. In that first year he shipped only 34 hogsheads to India, but in his second year he shipped over hogsheads 3. Like Hodgson's India Ale, the Burton export ales were sparkling and strong. The Burton beers were very pale for that time, more so than any previous effort, and the Burton export ales also exceeded all previous efforts in bitterness. The secret to the Burton brewers' success came from the water, an ingredient often downplayed in beer recipe formulation. The sulfates of the Trent basin helped the Burton beers achieve their clarity and bitterness and allowed the Burton brewers to far exceed Hodgson's India Ale in clarity, hopping rate, and marketability. The high sulfate content allowed brewers to use hopping rates well beyond that compatible with the carbonate water of London. Sulfates actually change the mouthfeel and perception of bitterness. High sulfate content results in a sharp, clean bitterness, unlike the harsh clinging bitterness of highly hopped beers brewed with water high in carbonates. Bass's 19th century export ales were brewed to an original gravity of not less than 1. Bass achieved its hop bitterness by using large quantities of Fuggle, Kent Golding, and imported hops. After completing the long voyage, the wooden casks filled with ale would be stillaged and their contents bottled, after which the strong ales could last three months or more 6. The hardy yeasts produced in the Burton Union fermentation system combined with high rates of priming sugar protected the beer on its stormy voyages and helped give it a long shelf life. An important issue raised in the history of ale involves the degree to which beer flavor profiles were influenced by the presence of Brettanomyces yeast strains. Stouts, porters, and stock ales were brewed using a secondary fermentation with Brettanomyces. The process of vatting 8 was used successfully to get the appropriate flavor profile from the Brettanomyces. However, Wahl and Henius maintained that vatting for pale ales went out of vogue with the success of the Burton brewers, suggesting that IPAs did not use this process 7. Chances of sourness from Lactobacillus would have been further reduced by the low final gravities: well-attenuated ales contain insufficient fermentables for the bacteria, or for that matter the finicky Brettanomyces. The export ales of Hodgson and the Burton brewers were truly export-only products until , when a ship carrying cargo to India was wrecked in the Irish Sea. The cargo was auctioned, alerting locals to the existence of India Pale Ale. The pale ales became a success in Liverpool, and shortly afterward Londoners were clamoring for these export ales. Although other factors such as changing public tastes probably played a role 9 , the importance of this serendipitous event should not be downplayed. At any rate, the public liked the effervescent pale ales whose clarity, bitterness, and refreshing character set them apart from the sweet, strong, nut brown ales of Burton and the mild ales, porters, and stouts of London and Dublin. IPA became a success in the European market, too, and local imitations were brewed in Norway and even Germany 7. A record of the original gravities of beers brewed in the Burton area suggests that by most exports were of the India Pale Ale variety Table I. A record of Bass products shows gravities between 1. Bass's bottled export of had an original gravity of 1. In addition, these beers finished at remarkably low terminal gravities; for example, Dog's Head finished at 1. When reviewing records of British beers for this period, remember that independent contractors bottled the beers, and a product brewed by Bass might turn up on the market under several different labels, though all bearing the Bass triangle. IPA's success was not lost on American brewers. Brewers in the northeastern United States brewed pale ales with original gravities between 1. Ballantine's IPA can be traced back to the early part of the 20th century when IPAs were still strong in both popularity and alcohol content; it has been preserved through an owner's idiosyncracies Ballantine also once brewed an extremely strong "Burton Ale". In some ways, ale brewing in the United States remained rather conservative because it was subject to different changes in market tastes and different regulatory pressure from that in Britain. Ales were in decline well before Prohibition; cream ale was invented as a counter to pale lagers. Other ale styles, such as porter, remained truer to their 19th century antecedents. A different picture emerges when we look at British brewing practices. Recall that 19th century starting gravities were in the 1. Today IPA gravities in Britain start as low as 1. The great gravity drop that we see in British ales since the late 19th century are the result of changes in the British taxation system, which effectively penalized high-gravity beers, and a parallel or ensuing shift in consumer preference. These changes eventually resulted in so-called "India Pale Ales" that were indistinguishable from ordinary pale ales. In Britain today, IPA is often merely a synonym for best or special bitter. Michael Jackson , for example, refers to IPA as a "super-premium pale ale" He also writes that, in England, ". I argue, however, that a clear-cut distinction between pale ale and India Pale Ale is important. Given the historical context in which IPA originated, few would argue the fact that high hop bitterness, high hop aroma, and high alcohol content characterize the style. Recommended original gravities include 1. All sources call for high attenuation, with finishing gravities between 1. Although this broad range suggests that the term "high alcohol content" seems to be a relative one, historical considerations warrant higher gravities. As far as bitterness goes, everyone recommends IBUs in the range. In addition, almost every source recommends medium to high hop aroma. Although most sources agree on high alcohol content, bitterness, and aroma, some disagree about color and hop flavor profile. Some interpretations call for a very pale, almost golden, ale 14,15 , while others call for more color - as dark as deep amber or copper If one considers only the recipes used for traditional IPAs without considering the brewing process of that time, a pale color would seem to be indicated. The recipes called for two-row malted barley and various amounts of sugar. If brewed in stainless steel, these recipes would yield very pale beers. The brewers of the 19th century, however, used copper kettles that catalyzed browning reactions. Therefore we can safely conclude that IPAs were amber- to copper-colored ales, not pale or golden ales. In terms of hop flavor profile, some sources call for boiling and aroma hops, others call for boiling, flavor, and aroma hops. The former represent the traditional hopping schedules that call for boiling two-thirds of the hops for min and using the rest for aroma. The sources calling for a more rounded hop profile describe the more contemporary interpretations see below. In addition to high alcohol content, high hop bitterness, and aroma, the historical context of the style's invention calls for several other characteristics. IPAs were brewed with hard water, so the flavor profile should reflect high mineral content, which may be accomplished with hard water and a crisp hop bitterness. The three to four months' travel time from brewery to India also suggests a mature profile. In addition, recipes indicate fairly low mashing temperatures, suggesting lower bodied beers. The singular use of two-row and sugar probably yielded an ale with a thin head. How do contemporary examples compare with the style descriptions? Unfortunately, quite a few breweries serve low-gravity beers under the name India Pale Ale. Other IPAs on the market lack the crisp bitterness characteristic of the style. I have heard brewers rationalize these variations by saying that hops of the last century had lower alpha values than today's varieties and therefore the beer could not have been that bitter. No stranger to medals, this IPA from San Francisco consistently delivers an excellent example of the style. Whereas Liberty Ale offers a broad hop profile high hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma and rich malt flavor, Grant's IPA is characterized by intense hop bitterness and hop aroma. In part this occurs because brewers in the United States became reacquainted with the style before the English renewed their interest in IPAs. The year-old microbrewery and pub brewery revolution in this country has rapidly increased the number of excellent IPAs available to the consumer. Initially, IPAs allowed brewers to satisfy the needs of a particular niche: Consumers wanted robust, hoppy ales, and brewers responded with beers like Anchor Liberty Ale originally released as Our Special Ale in and Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale released Grant's IPA first brewed in also addressed this need in the market. With the growth of micros and pubs, more and more of these hoppy beers appeared on the market. Today, dozens of breweries offer India Pale Ales. In addition to satisfying the palate of the consumer, the style may also satisfy a marketing need - the very name lends an air of tradition to any pub menu. Over the past several decades, the English market has favored lower alcohol beers. The difference between American and British efforts will diminish, however, as interest in the style continues to increase in the UK. Thanks to the efforts of the Campaign for Real Ale St. In , Dorber organized a seminar on Burton Pale Ales, and from this seminar grew a plan to brew a traditional IPA like those of the mid-l9th century. The project proceeded with encouragement and support from Bass. After reviewing the record books and the historical context, Dawson reformulated a recipe dating back to the s. The brew was to be a piece of living history, " Its original gravity is 1. Roger Protz , noted beer writer and authority on classic English styles, described the beer as having a massive and pungent hop bitterness with a nose like a Kent hop field The beer has a rich and fruity mouthfeel, with a finish dominated by Kent Goldings. Dorber reported that the ale is holding up well after five months in the cask. The ale has maintained strong bitterness, and the rich, fruity aromas have enhanced with age Traditional or contemporary: A close look at the history of this style and the available beers representing its various interpretations reveals two trends in brewing: traditional and contemporary. Traditional interpretations tend to be rather pale, with high hop bitterness dominating the flavor profile. Traditional IPAs also have high hop aroma. Flavor hops are low to medium in strength, and the bittering hops completely dominate the flavor profile. The beers also have low to medium body, which accentuates the beer's crisp bitterness. Contemporary versions also have high bitterness and high hop aroma but include a strong hop flavor component and a rich maltiness as well. These beers tend to be medium bodied and as dark as deep amber or copper. Furthermore, a robust and clinging head tends to characterize these beers. The following discussion attempts to refine these trends and clarify the possible distinctions between these interpretations. Common themes. When brewing any IPA, historical considerations call for a bitter ale with a strong hop aroma. High mineral content should also be evident in the crispness of the bitterness and in the mouthfeel provided by the bitterness. Long ocean voyages suggest that we can add a mature profile to the list of characteristics defining the style. If space limitations make aging impractical, try reducing the hopping rate, which should provide a desirable balance between the malt and the bitterness without aging. Even in these cases, however, IBUs should never dip below Finally, a full copper color will probably be closer to the 19th century versions of this style than the pale color called for by some writers. Brewers boiled these high-gravity worts for min in copper kettles. Because copper catalyzes browning reactions, it is unlikely that these beers were very pale, even though they were brewed exclusively with two-row malt. Remember that the designation "pale" meant that the beers were not brown ales, porters or stouts. Traditional themes. For traditional IPAs, starting gravities should never drop below 1. Furthermore, these beers should be well attenuated, finishing between 1. High bitterness is achieved by boiling two-thirds of the hops for min. The final third should be entered in the last 10 min of the boil. Dry hopping further enhances the hop aroma of the beer. For the contemporary profile, bulk up the malt and add more flavor hops than recommended for the traditional profile. Modern tastes prefer a maltier mouthfeel, so the contemporary interpretation requires a fuller bodied beer with higher terminal gravity to balance the bitterness. Expect finishing gravities in the 1. The modern trend toward lower alcohol beers means that starting gravities can be in the 1. Contemporary versions may also use hopping rates considerably different from those of the traditional versions to help achieve a broader hop flavor profile see recommendations below. Water: As discussed in last issue 12 , the calcium and sulfates in the Trent basin led to the Burton brewers' success with this style. The calcium and sulfates have two effects. First, calcium helps extract hop bitterness and reduce haze. Second, the sulfates give beer a dry, fuller flavor that enhances hop bitterness. I find that the addition of gypsum to the boil yields a crisper and cleaner bitterness. The water for brewing India Pale Ales should mimic the water of the Burton region - hard water full of mineral salts Table I. As with any style, brewers should know the make-up of their water. If you have soft water, a number of sources provide information on how to adjust your water for this style see, for example, reference The sugars used included caramel, glucose, rice, and maize. The English brewers reported using a fair amount of foreign barley malt in their recipes. Apparently the American and German varieties provided better drainage and avoided the acidity that English malts tended to develop. When brewing a traditional IPA, grain selection is easy: choose the best-quality English two-row barley that you can afford. The resulting maltiness will please you, your friends, and your customers. The Pike Place Brewery produces one of the best IPAs anywhere in the world, and at least part of their success stems from their careful selection of malt Of course, you can brew a traditional IPA with North American two-row malts when cost considerations come in to play. For contemporary versions, crystal or Carastan will enhance malt flavors and increase color. Remember that the darker copper color of India Pale Ales resulted in part from browning reactions occurring in the copper kettles. If you are not using copper kettles, then select a crystal or Carastan that will provide the appropriate color. Some reputable brewers even slip in small quantities of darker adjuncts for color complexity. This addition complements the maltiness of the contemporary IPA and is probably unnecessary in the low-body traditional IPA. Mashing temperatures may vary depending on the type of IPA you want to brew. The traditional version works with lower body, while the contemporary interpretation needs more mouthfeel. I recommend mashing between xF xC for the traditional and xF xC for the contemporary. If you are working with extracts, select the palest extract you can buy. For a traditional interpretation of the style, adjuncts for color enhancement are all that are needed. A more contemporary effort calls for the addition of adjuncts crystal for color and flavor, Carapils or dextrin for head retention. Steep the grains at xF 68 xC for min and add this tea to your boiling extract. Choice of hops is primarily a matter of preference and accessibility. For traditional India Pale Ales, you will need to select a bittering and finishing hop. I prefer the high-alpha, citrus-like crispness of Chinook. Other breweries have success with Galena and Centennial. Some brewers choose to follow traditional brewing practices and use low-alpha hops for all additions. Whatever you choose, give the hops a good long boil. Some recipes recommend at least a min boil for the bittering hops. Remember the limitations of your boiler when designing your recipe. Several brewers have horror stories about overloading boiling kettles or stopping up pumps with hops. Considerations such as these might influence your choice of hop form pellet or leaf. If you choose to brew a contemporary version of the style, select fresh hops for additions during midboil. I recommend additions at min intervals beginning at 40 min. This seems to provide the full flavor necessary to make its presence known in this very bitter style. For a traditional recipe, minimize the amount of hops used to flavor the beer.

This seems to provide the full flavor necessary to make its presence known in this very bitter style. For a traditional recipe, minimize the amount of hops used to flavor the beer. The finishing hops, used liberally for either interpretation, should be carefully selected based on freshness and preference. I like the peppery nose offered by Kent Goldings or the floral grassiness of Cascades. Aroma hops may be added to the last 5 min of your boil, especially if you use an extended hot break after boiling. Traditionally, aroma hops were added to the cask before shipping. If you choose to dry hop your IPA, use caution. I have seen dry hopping in the secondary work for several breweries; Cantwell et al. A true IPA with its associated high alcohol content should withstand the risks associated with heavy dry hopping. My experience suggests that the heavier the dry hopping, the longer the beer needs to condition before drinking. In addition to wonderful aromas, dry hopping provides other advantages. The tannic acids provided by the hops aid clarification, while the diastase associated with the hops helps break down maltodextrins for further fermentation. Finally, the hops add additional protection against infection by increasing the isohumulone content of the beer. Recommended hopping rates vary depending on hop selection and starting gravity. Hopping rates of 1. When most brewers hear Belgian ale, they immediately think about yeast and its critical role in brewing a true example of that style. Proper yeast selection is equally important for India Pale Ale. The yeast should contribute some esters and impart a minerally flavor to the beer; these properties were critical to the success of the Burton IPAs and should be considered essential for the style. Although many good yeast sources exist watch for a directory of yeast suppliers in an upcoming issue of BrewingTechniques , remember to choose a yeast with the above properties. Wyeast Hood River, Oregon supplies a good working yeast that has the desired characteristics. Wyeast , commonly called London ale yeast, offers a rich, minerally profile and produces fruity esters, which makes this yeast a successful match for the style. This yeast also produces small quantities of diacetyl which, in small doses, does not hurt the style. Caution should be used, however, to keep perceived levels of diacetyl low I have found that the popular Wyeast product, American ale , does not provide the character needed for the India Pale Ale. It is just too clean, especially if your starting gravity dips down to the low 1. Irish ale yeast suppresses hop bitterness compared with the other two yeasts, and for this reason I do not recommend it. Use caution when adopting a yeast for your IPA. Some English breweries find that yeasts adapted to ordinary bitter gravities yield out of proportion ester content when used in strong beers. When pitching yeast, use large volumes to get fermentation started rapidly. Tom Dawson of Bass Brewery brewing recommends 1. Make sure that you understand the temperature requirements of your yeast. Many yeasts that are excellent for this style do poorly if the temperature climbs above 65 xF 18 xC. Some home brewers and professional brewers add oak chips to their beer during fermentation or aging. The practice stems from the belief that the oak casks used to ship IPAs to India imparted some flavors to the beer during the long voyage. My research indicates that the oak used for cask production in 19th century Britain was harder and contained fewer tannins than the oak we use in this country. I find no evidence that oak casks used in shipping contributed to the beer's flavor profile. If anything, the strict standards for entry into India suggest that had the oak changed the flavor, the brewers would have changed cask material. India Pale Ale was a solution to a great beer problem More than any other style, IPA's character is defined by the function it served in history. We can identify trends in the current production of these fine ales. The trends indicate that interest in this classic style is on the upswing and that brewers want to present India Pale Ales with the important characters of high bitterness, high alcohol content and high hop aroma. While a number of breweries produce excellent IPAs, many breweries still produce low-gravity, low-alpha pale ales and sell them under the name IPA. This is a shame given the current sophistication of the market. As a marketing plan, it could backfire. Consider that the usual logic behind such low- gravity, low-alpha beers is as follows, "My customers will not drink such strong and bitter beers. However, if you insist on serving a pale ale as an IPA your customers' level of sophistication may surprise you. One day soon a customer may ask why you choose to call the low-gravity, low- alpha beer an IPA! There are brewers who tell me that they will not brew a hoppy India Pale Ale, one that is strong in the tradition of the style. Again they cite customer concerns. My suggestion is always the same: Do not underestimate the tastes of your customers. Sure, the strong bitterness and high alcohol content are not for everyone, and some customers will definitely not like the beer. JavaScript seems to be disabled in your browser.
