Why the change in the hop schedule?

Based on the quote from 2 Bros, they brewed this as normal but got a much higher efficiency than expected, thus the imperial C&E, which would imply that they used the standard hop schedule. So to recreate this you would have 1 of 2 options:

1.) Increase the efficiency of your brew rig to bump the ABV up.
2.) Increase the base malts to hit the new target ABV.

You appear to have increased both the hops and the malts, which while I'm sure it will still be a tasty brew, I'm not sure if that would be the best approach if you are trying to recreate 2 Brothers mistake that created the Imperial C&E.

That said, keep me posted as I'm curious how your version turns out.

I guess I was nosing around on probrewer and ran across some discussions on scaling pilot batches and how hop utilization varies with equipment. It looks like a wild card as the pros are dialing in new gear. Since 2B overshot the ABV, I figure the alpha might have been higher too.

Also, guessing this one might need to condition longer I'd like to frontload to offset some of the decay. Ive never done a RIIPA, so more research and feedback is certainly needed before brew day.

Thanks!

What kind of FG do you guys get with WLP005? I hit mash temps and SG but the little limeys yeasties ran it down to 1.010.

Also, Two Brothers is bringing back 14 old brews as part of their anniversary - maybe one will be Imperial Cane & Ebel.

Bookmarked for future reference! FYI, if any of you like their Resistance IPA then look for some threads I started on it and you'll find the recipe I got from them. These two are some of my favorite beers!

The wife and I just went to Two Brother's Roundhouse yesterday for lunch. This is one of my favorites. I'm a newbie to brewing and just have a couple of beers under my belt. Does anyone have suggestions for converting this to an all extract recipe?

Recipes 

You cant do an all extract batch because of the rye malt. You need to do a partial mash.

Recipes 

Northern Brewer has a rye malr extract but no way to get the simpsons crystal rye as brewtime said above unless you minimash.

Don't fear the mash tun. What better excuse to jump up to all grain? You might do a simple recipe first to get the feel for things but its beer... not rocket science.

I agree, you need to mini-mash this one. I use this mini-mash recipe. I've made it twice. First time it was very very close in all aspects. The second, I didn't mash long enough (I think that's where I went wrong) and the OG was low, but still tasty. If you have a kettle 12qt or bigger, a thermometer, and an extra hour you can do this using a brew in a bag approach. There's a good stovetop mini-mash tutorial around here somewhere that will help.
