Looking for Double IPA Recipe
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

Re: Looking for Double IPA Recipe
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.

Re: Looking for Double IPA Recipe
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.

Re: Looking for Double IPA Recipe
That's the one, brew that and you won't be disappointed 
"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.

Re: Looking for Double IPA 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.

Re: Looking for Double IPA Recipe
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.

Re: Looking for Double IPA Recipe
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.

Re: Looking for Double IPA Recipe
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.

Re: Looking for Double IPA Recipe
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!
