Looking for Double IPA Recipe

Post by Halifax_Jeff » Fri Dec 12, 2014 1:28 pm

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum so I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm looking for a double ipa extract recipe. I love garrisons imperial ipa and the vicars cross from boxing rock. Anyone have/know of any recipes that would be anything close to either one of these?

Thanks

I'm volunteering Keith to answer this one.

I don't know a suitable recipe. I used to make one with lots of light DME and lots of late cascade leaf hops and US-05 that I really liked.

The Pliny the Elder clone from Brewing classic styles is a great recipe (I think he calls it the Hop Hammer there). Could post it tonight if needed.

Fermenting: Oud bruin/Vienna Pekko SMaSH

LME Liquid Malt Extract. The hops can be swiched up. Contact Dave at Everwood and he'll fix you up.

That's the one, brew that and you won't be disappointed :cheers:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

For me, I would drop the wheat LME off that recipe.

The Pliny recipe is great. I did the all grain version for the Brewnoser Advent# 3 under the recipe thread and was really happy with it. Check out the comments. I think a few others liked it too! The OG was 1.072 in mine but it was an enjoyable and balanced beast. If doing an extract version be sure to do a full wort boil or Texas 2 step in two pots to avoid the maillard reaction aka the old home brew twang!

I second this if you like the Vicars Cross. Dave posted somewhere on here a IIPA he got very close to it. Dave will hook you up for sure whatever you want to brew.

Pliny is great, you won't be disappointed. I'd share mine but I couldn't' convert to extract only.

Got it sitting in the primary right now! I had to split the boil (working with a smaller pot) and I'm really looking forward to it.

Anyone have any thoughts about dry hopping this in the keg instead of transferring it to a secondary? I was thinking about putting it in a nylon bag and setting it in the keg until I'm ready to drink it.

After primary fermentation is finished you can dry hop in the primary, wait 4 - 7 days, cold crash, keg. That's my procedure and it works well.

I read/heard mostly that dry hopping during secondary fermentation, for 3 - 4 days only, then removing the hops, gives the best results. After about 4 days of primary fermentation, I throw in my dry hops for 3 days. Then I take the beer off the hops, which in my case means kegging, for secondary fermentation in the keg for a week, then chilling/carbonationg.

Just to update, it did brew this and for my first DIPA I was pleased with it. At first I thought it was too bitter, then it started to grow on me. Smelled great and definitely not shy on hops.. I'm making quick work emptying keg!
