I've been thinking about a Dogfish Head 120 Minute-like beer for awhile. I've finally gotten to a point that my plans have been written up. I've based some research off of the Dogfish Head website, off of the
other 120 minute clone recipe .
I'd love to get feedback on this!
Two Hour IPA - A Dogfish Head 120 Minute-esque experiment
Target OG - 1.201 (after invert sugar additions)
Target FG - 1.044
Alcohol by volume - 20.93%
Approximate calories per 12oz - 665.89
Estimated IBUs (Tinseth method) - 120.44
Extract due to grain - 1.137 (78.1%)
Extract due to invert sugar - 1.065 (21.9%)
Grain Bill
Pale malt (2-row; Maris Otter) - 25lbs
Invert sugar - 7lbs
I plan on brewing five gallons of 1.137 wort on the first day. I will pitch a large amount of WY1056, a third generation cake. I plan on oxygenating for five days using my pure O2 setup. Each day, a gravity reading will be taken to ensure that active fermentation is still taking place to dimish the small chance of any oxidation. I will also be using 7 lbs of table sugar. The table sugar will be inverted by making a syrup solution, adding citric acid powder at a rate of 1 gram/2 lbs of sugar. The syrup will be heated to at least 270F on the stovetop. This will be pressure canned in pint-sized cans. A can will be added once a day until the gravity points begin to stay stagnant. Hopefully I'll get to utilize all of the cans. When the WY1056 begins to slow, I will pitch WL099 Super High Gravity Yeast. I expect that the WY1056 will ferment up to approximately 10-11%abv per Wyeast. A large starter (2+ gallons will be prepared for the WL099 strain). My goal is to keep to adjuncts (sugar) under 20% of the total extract. Who knows, maybe Beano will make an appearance.

3oz of Columbus (14%aa) will be used for dry hopping. Equal amounts will be spread over three weeks starting when the beer is added to secondary. After a few weeks on the dry hops, the beer will be racked to tertiary for bulk aging.
I apologize in advance for the bad formatting of the hop additions.

Thats one heck of a recipe, I'd be interested in trying that even though I am not a hop head.
