Hey there, has anyone tried to clone the tenth anniversary ruination? I have been searching all over and found that its basically just double the amount of hops and a higher abv. (10.8%)

Well, you'd up the 2row a bit to push up the abv, ad add a few more ounces of centennial and a couple ounces of citra, plus more dry hop of cent/citra from what I understAnd. Me, I'm almost afraid of having 5 gallons of that on tap :-)

Yea I figured that was all it is, more 2-row and 2x the hops... Thanks for the response. 5 gallons is a little much, I would only do 2-3 gallons, since Im the only beer drinker in my house and I have to bottle. Plus the ingredients will cost a lot. I need to figure out how to get the most aroma out of the dry hops, before I go throwing a bunch in and wasting them (I read that yeast will take flush out most aroma, when you dry hop too soon. I also read in BYO, that warmer conditioning temp. brings out the hop aroma better). Ill need a big starter too, will I be able to build up a starter, with one vial, or do I need two?

You could pitch 2 or 3 packs of Us-05 for the price of liquid yeast. Otherwise, you could build up a starter with one vial. There are ways :-). Buy the hops in bulk instead of in 1oz increments. With the 2012 season, centennial pellets should be available soon, same with citra. Check out yakimavalleyhops.com for that. As far as dry hop timing, I dry hop about 7 days before I bottle/keg. So, if you plan on keeping the beer in the fermenter for 4 weeks, put them in a hop sack and throw them in for the final week.

Brewed this per the OP's extract recipe. OG was 1.074, just took a hydrometer reading after 12 days in the primary and it's at 1.016. Didn't quite hit the numbers I was hoping for but I'm calling that close enough. Plan on dry hopping tomorrow.

Also, went ahead and made a yeast starter as suggested, thanks again for the tips.

Does anyone know how much 2row and dme I should use if I wanted to convert this to a partial mash brew?
thanks

I've always been very happy with using Crystal to color and the sweetness it brings to the party for pales and IPAs.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone here has seen/could post the new recipe that Mitch made public recently (I read that Columbus and Citra are now used.) If anyone has it could they please post it? I brewed Yoopers' recipe several months back and it was fantastic - I'd like to see how the new recipe compares.

Thanks!
MF

Thanks and happy brewing to ya.

I'm wanting to make a Black IIPA. Would I add a pound of black malt or what? Is 1 LB too much? I've brewed this recipe three times. I add another pound of 2 row just to make sure I hit my numbers.
Does this sound interesting to anyone?
