Multiple - Dogfish Head 60 Minute Clone (AG) & Extract - Page 46

Well... I may have answered my own question. Today I had large yeast families just barely visible rising from the ashes up about 60% to the surface before falling back. Still lots of clingers to the side of the carboy almmost to the top - which in the past seems to coincide with active yeasties. So guess it just wasn't as vigorous for as long as I'd expected for this relatively big beer. I'll forget about it til the weekend...

Hi Yooper,
Just wanted to thank you for this awesome recipe! I brewed this as 12/06/09 true to your original recipe, single fermentation for 21 days then bottled on 12/27/09. My OG was 1.066 and FG 1.012, ABV 7.05. I did use WLP #001 California Ale Yeast. It has been bottle conditioned now for 2 months today and tasted so fantastic. I drank several today while brewing this beer again. I was able to get some Pacman smack pak yeast for this brew today, so I will let you know which I prefered later.
I think this is the best beer I have made so far!

I'm glad it came out so well for you. It's definitely my favorite, too. I've done it with different malts, and a few subs, but I really like the amarillo/simcoe combination in all those late hops. It just seems like the hops flavor is overwhelming, in a good way.

I will do my best to save you some (no promises). I told Troy we should make sure have some when you get back, his response after tasting: "yeah right". It's just too good - even flat, cloudy and too warm!

That WAS the messed up batch that you witnessed. All has turned out well though.

I am sure we will at least have some Nightmare Amber for Bob to try when you get back though. I will let that one age a bit.

Hope you are having a good time! It's cold and snowing here (like you care)!

Holy ****! The Beer Fairy came today. When I got home from work, there were 4 Grolsch bottles of this IPA, and a nice new diptube!!!!!!

(I assume my Fairy is lschiavo, so don't get too excited people. The Beer Fairy is probably not real...................)

Anyway, this beer is fantastic. I think the soft water (or at least the less alkaline water) that was used made it better than mine. Nice firm bitterness, without harshness. Awesome hop aroma and flavor. Now I'm dying to brew this again.

**lschiavo** · 03-04-2010, 12:06 AM

Oh I'm real! But I dont like being called a fairy!

Glad to hear you liked it! I was hoping to find you brewing today and help you fit the diptube. It may need a little trimming to work in your kettle. I left it a little long so it can be trimmed for the best fit. Let me know your next brew day and I'll try to stop in.

I'm brewing tomorrow, after I do some work. Maybe mashing in around 11 AM. Otherwise, probably next Wednesday. I want to make this DFH clone next week to have it taste just like yours, but would like to skip the stuck mash and stuck sparge. I'm using my CFC for the first time tomorrow, so I'll see how I do at not having a problem with hops clogging my "old" diptube before I make this IPA.

Yooper,
I'm brewing this on the 13th and I need to work up the water profile. Did you make any modifications to your water?

Chris

dummkauf · 03-05-2010, 05:07 AM

Thank you Yooper!!!!

You're probably sick of hearing this by now but this recipe rocks! After 2 weeks in primary, 1 week dry hopping in secondary I finally took a gravity reading and this is the first brew I've ever made that I actually drank the entire sample

(note this is only my 3rd brew). Even poured it into a glass with a few pieces of hops that made it into my sample floating around

I can't wait for this to carb up. I was planning on bottling on Sunday assuming that my gravity is still at 1.017, but I was just curious if it would be beneficial to give it another week or 2 in secondary just to let it dryhop more, or is 1 week good?

Thanks again!

I have made this fantastic recipe twice now and look forward to each new batch. Friends love it too..... especially since it is free

Salute!
