Definitely let us know how it turns out. Partially inspired by your sub, and partially by some other IPAs I've done, I've decided to try a smaller version of this (~7%), with all simcoe/centennial (luckily my LHBS has simcoe, and i ordered a lb from farmhousebrewing, because damned if I'm running out of one of my favorite hops)

Brewing a SMaSH simcoe/MO today to basically function as a delicious starter to top crop from, then next week(end) I'll brew this:

11 lbs US 2-Row
12 oz caraffa III
12 oz crystal 60L
60 IBU from simcoe FWH addition
1 oz each centennial and simcoe at whirlpool
1 oz(?) each c/s dry hop

Will report back how it goes...

Guys, does anyone else notice an insane head retention from this? Mine pours a couple of inches thick and won't go down for anything. You can literally write your name in it. Kinda cool.

I just wish my oatmeal stout had half the head of this stuff.

Just poured a glass 10 days after bottling. (about 20 mins after pouring). It's still green and had some weird off flavor at fridge temp but letting it warm up to 50 or so and it tastes wonderful.

Another 4-6 weeks... Can't wait!

Tested another bottle. Much better! I think I slightly over-primed it, but its tasty regardless.

I have my clone of this in the fermenter now. Still bubbling like crazy at 72 hours.
OG was 1.084 which was what I was shooting for.

This was a 4gal boil, topped off with a little over a gallon...

I don't have my all grain equipment yet, so I did a partial mash in a bag -
I also don't have any scales, so I did nice round numbers to make it easy on myself.
Here's my bill:
-9.00 lb Pale LME
-3.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row)
-0.50 lb Crystal 60L
-0.50 lb Carafa III
-0.50 lb Carapils


Pacman yeast 750ml starter (3rd gen)

75min boil
**Hop Schedule
=3oz Chinook [13%] First Wort
=1.0oz Simcoe whole [13%] 1min
=1.5oz Amarillo Gold [8.5%] 1min
=0.5oz Cascade 1min (I know this isn't in their recipe but couldn't resist) 1min

Oak Age on cubes in secondary 2 weeks

Dry Hops 7 days
== 1.0oz Simcoe whole
== 1.5oz Amarillo
== 0.5oz Cascade
== 1.0oz Centennial (Also not on the recipe, but I had some extras in my freezer I needed to get rid of :-) )

Comments:
Went into the primary black as oil so I think I got enough Carafa III with just 1/2lb.
Smells awesome!

Drinking a freshly kegged and carbed glass of my recipe from a few post ago (except used simcoe at 60min not FWH). VERY happy, more to my taste than the original recipe. Centennial works great, and it's a bit more drinkable at 7%, though admittedly it's kinda a different beer now.

Here's mine-- coming along well...
I oak aged with cubes for one week, and will dry hop one week before cold crashing and bottling. Bottling for the first time instead of kegging to force myself to age
After taking this picture, I left it alone for an hour, then swirled in the hops...

Cheers!

pretty much just rebrewed this beer too.
used hops on hand though, magnum and columbus for bittering.
columbus and challenger @ 10 minutes and columbus, challenger and casade at flameout.

i think the grianbill was something like

16.5 LB fawcett pearl
1LB C60
1LB carafa III
6 oz pale Chocolate

OG was 1.078

have come full circle on the yeast, was going to pitch some WLP 007 and didn't like how it was acting in another beer so ran to the beer store and grabbed a pack of US05 and pitched this morning...
