+6 ipa = 4597

2 months bottle conditioned. Doesn't get much clearer than this. **Sidenote** Stone 11th Aniv Clone recipe on HBT is rediculous. Wish I could have brewed 25gal :ban:

I'm wondering if the US05 needed at least a liter starter? I pitched 1.5liters of 1.040 with WLP001 and it seemed to attenuate to specs. Brewed this on 11/29. Had to sub chinook for simcoe as none available at my LHBS. Also added 1/2lb victory malt. IBU per recipe and dryhopped with 2.8oz...

UPDATE: Week 4. Amazing. This is going in my rotation.

10 days after bottling. Already carbed and glorious.

Just bottled yesterday. Cleared up nicely. I moved to secondary after 9 days and dry hopped with an ounce of east kent goldings as I've been on a hop craze recently. Tasted great, grav 1.008. Gonna be a long three weeks

That Stone Recipe looks almost exactly like the Stone XI recipe and it's for sure my next brew! Read my mind :mug: Brulosopher: I'm only gonna secondary to hopefully clear it up even further. Might dry hop it a bit as well just to make it my own. What do you guys think is the IBU range...

Wow, that looks like a big beer. Will have to put that on deck. Thanks

Day 5 in primary. Settling out well. Thinking of racking to secondary at day 8-10. Gravity today 1.010. Got a black IPA in mind for next brew. Searched around and the Stone XI clone seems to be a hit. Anyone have a dark IPA recipe that really rocked?

I used six pounds of two row Sorry if "6lb 2row" confused anyone

Its all good. Im not really scared. The best was the look on my wifes face and the "you spent two hours outside doing that and this is what you get, you idiot" look. Priceless.

Yes I did use a tab of whirlfloc, maybe should have used half? Its settling now. Again Biermuncher you're the man :)

Thanks men. Day 2 is already looking more homogenous. What an awesome hobby.

This was my third batch. First two are great. 5.0 gal. This one went according to recipe, mash was a little high to start (158 for first couple mins) otherwise went well. 90 minute mash as it was BIAB, preboil grav 1.020. 80 minute boil per recipe suggestion. The recipe is 6lb 2row...

Biermuncher, your recipes are simple and awesome. thanks brother :mug: Brewed 3Crops last night almost exactly to recipe except I added 10oz crystal 60L just for fun and up'd the IBU a smidge. Looking at it today I feel like a mad scientist.
