16 lbs - Maris Otter 88.9%
1 lb - American Caramel 80 5.6%
1 lb - Table Sugar 5.6%

1.00 oz - US Golding (4.9% AA) 60 min

1.00 oz - Cascade (7.1% AA) 30 min

0.50 oz - Summit (17.6% AA) 15 min
0.50 oz - Apollo (17.7% AA) 15 min
0.50 oz - Columbus (14% AA) 15 min

0.50 oz - Summit (17.6% AA) steep 30 min
0.50 oz - Apollo (17.7% AA) steep 30 min
0.50 oz - Columbus (14% AA) steep 30 min
1.00 oz - Amarillo (7.7% AA) steep 30 min
1.00 oz - Simcoe (13.2% AA) steep 30 min

1.00 oz - Amarillo (7.7% AA) dry hop 7 days
2.00 oz - Columbus (14% AA) dry hop 7 days
1.50 oz - Apollo (17.7% AA) dry hop 7 days
3.00 oz - Simcoe (13.2% AA) dry hop 7 days
1.50 oz - Summit (17.6% AA) dry hop 7 days

Mash at 148 for 60 min
60 min boil with a 30 minute hop steep

Make sure you pitch enough yeast and aerate. I did 1 packet of US-05 and 2 vials of Wyeast 1056, and they ripped through the beer pretty quickly.

Ferment for 7 days at 69. After 7 days, or when the beer has reached final gravity, dry hop for 7 days. Cold crash, then bottle. Make sure the bottled beer is in a warm area (70+ degrees) so it carbs up quickly. Carb to 2.4 volumes of co2.

If you brew it, make sure to post your feedback! Enjoy!

Yes, it's my recipe. I was originally going to brew a basic Pale Ale back in December, but then I found out I was going to have to move to Colorado for my job (or so I thought). I decided to brew a massive IPA instead, thinking I wasn't going to brew anything for a while. This beer is the result, and I'm pretty happy with it.

Did it turn out like anything u could compare it to commercially? It looks like a lot of the same hops that heady uses.

No, nothing comes to mind. I haven't had Heady though.

9oz of dry hops for 5g batch? No thanks - sounds terrible

My bad misread ur quote yeah 9oz dry hop plus the rest is a pound total. That's the biggest dry hop amount I've seen for a 5 gal batch but hey it may be awesome bet the nose just explodes out of the bottle.

Duly noted.

Ok just curious. I may try this out but scale it down to a iipa, it has some hops I've never used but been meaning to ie Columbus, apollo and summit.

It's a full pound when u consider the dry hops. That's about 50$ in hops alone but it's a monster beer at 10%.

Yeah it's a lot. I had just bought a bunch of bulk hops for the year, and like I said I thought I wouldn't be able to brew again for a while. So I thought "why not?". It's definitely not a cheap beer if you're buying hops by the ounce.

I see u bottle. Did u dry hop in primary or secondary and did u use a hop sack. Did u split the dry hops into two separate additions or do it all at the same time?

Primary, I don't do secondaries. No, I didn't use a hop sack, but I cold crashed before bottling to drop the hops out. The dry hops were one addition.

I think I went broke just reading the hop bill.
I would love to try this if it could be bottled and served in shot glasses.

Why are you using 4.9%AA bittering hops?

Recipe Database is intended for solid tried and true recipes. If you just made this in December, it belongs in the Recipes/Ingredients forum. I think you will get more traffic and feedback there.

Seems like he's drinking this right now. I'd say in his mind it's a tried and true recipe he liked and wanted to share.

Love the name (o Reilly) and the recipe looks great

Most of the bittering comes from the late additions. I like the beer, so I wanted to share the recipe with everyone. While I would appreciate feedback from anyone who brews the beer, feedback was not the intention of the post.

I appreciate the constructive criticism though.

Yeah, I definitely think buying hops in bulk is key. It would be a very expensive recipe otherwise. Make sure you let us know how it turns out!

desabat · Jun 9, 2015

What is the Aroma like? Are you getting plenty of Columbus from your late additions?
