Well I racked the IIPA onto the yeast cake of the parti gyle and about an hour later the air lock was bubbling and has been for a few days now. So I'm hoping that the gravity will have dropped a little bit. I'm a little upset about bottling the parti gyle at a measly 3.5% abv but I don't think I have any other options. Just though I would give an update and thank ya for the help.

thanks for the update, dude. Was the parti finished fermenting? Still, partigyles are never much more than a mild ale typically. Use it for a light session beer. Glad the IIPA is back to bubbling! Hopefully you can take a reading in a couple days to see if it dropped.

Wow...just bottled this puppy, started at 1.083, finished at 1.017 for an 8.7% brew...pulled a sample and this beer is awesome! I added an extra pound of 2-row and 8 oz of chocolate malt...out of 15 batches over the last year, this one i think is going to be the best. real rich and blacker than the ace of spades, nice hop bite with a solid roasty backbone from the chocolate malt. 10 out of 10. got a homebrew competition coming up...unfortunately this one won't be carbed in time or else it would be entered for sure! thanks for the kick-butt recipe...this one will be in the rotation for a long time to come.

Thanks for the inspirational recipe!
Here was my take on this AWSOME beer

5 Gal AG Batch:

10.5 LBS 2 row pale
.5 LBS Crystal 60L
1 LBS Midnight Wheat (new grain made for BIPAS)
1 LB Corn sugar

.75 OZ Magnum 60 minutes
.5 OZ Chinook 45 Minutes
.75 OZ Nugget 35 Minutes
1 OZ Cascade 30 Minutes
1 OZ Cascade 15 Minutes
1 OZ Chinook Flame Out

Dry hop with 2 OZ Cascade for 10 Days

Primary 3 weeks
Secondary 5 Weeks
Kegged with priming sugar 2 weeks


Was going for a Big west coast BIPA , That was as much grain I could fit in my 5 GAL mash tun. I used a big starter of Safale 05 and pitched at 62F. I had a OG of 1.070 and a FG of 1.011 for a ABV of 7.7 .

I can honestly say this is the best beer i have brewed and my personal favorite. I was a little afraid it was going to be to hoppy, but it balanced perfect with the Midnight wheat flavor which is smooth and creamy.

I must be out of the loop - whats a BIPA? In any case, glad the beer turned out so good. Looks delicious!

Seems like a long primary and secondary. Did you notice it need to be aged longer or was it for attenuation? And when did you start the dry hopping? Looks like a great recipe ad a great brew!
