Recipe: Mitten Winds IPA

This is an ideal recipe for trying out the cold-and-short method of dry hopping—in this iteration, with fruity Michigan-grown Chinook, but you can sub in whatever hops you want to test.

This recipe started as a way to test the Michigan Hop Alliance’s Chinook hops, which were said to be pineapple-like—in contrast to the catty pine of Chinooks from the Northwest. For me, it was also a chance to play with the cold-and-short dry hopping … and what do you know? It tastes like pineapple upside-down cake. Feel free to sub in whatever hops you want to test in this way.
