Jaipur is a pioneering legendary beer by Thornbridge brewery. Some months ago I tried to make it myself. I produced a great hoppy IPA, but it wasn’t Jaipur.

With the help of the MaltMiller I’m going to have another go at making it as a 10L brew:

Malt Bill
Low colour Maris Otter 100%

Last time round I used two malts (Maris Otter + Vienna), but it turns out that these days it’s a single malt brew.

The hop situation is more complicated, as it should use a mixture of pellet and leaf hops, and also requires a hopnik (or a simulated hopnik):

Hops Amount Time
Hop bittering extract 1.5ml Start of boil
Chinook 6g Whirlpool at 92C for 5 mins at the end of the boil

Then, following a whirlpool rest for 20 mins, whirlpool at 92c for 20 mins with:

Hops Amount
Cascade 19g
Chinook 18g
Centennial 17g
Columbus 8g
Simcoe 6g

For the yeast, I’m going to try using WHC LAX. It’s not exactly the Yorkshire strain used by Thornbridge, but it should give good enough results.

Then dry hop for 48 hours after fermentation with:

Hops Amount
Chinook 17g
Centennial 11g
Cascade 6g

Some of these hop quantities may be a little off, but it should still turn out to be an awesome IPA.
