Just brewed this beer and bottled it...I'll let you know how it turned out in a 2-3 weeks.
Any idea if it is better to cold crash, then dry hop or dry hop then cold crash. Or does it not matter?

Brizzo said:I read the thread about why not o pitch on your cake, or read enough page to get th point. I guess I won't be doing that even though the innkeeper is a lower gravity ale and this clone is a little heavier.
I want to try washing yeast but I am worried abou contamination so I guess I will just go puck up a couple package of nottingham or s05

Sorry I was trying to say, how did the batch turn out that had a OG of 1.061?
Stupid phone.

Just scored some amarillo from the LHBS finally. Can't wait to make this again. It was funny, I was digging through the hop fridge looking for amarillo and it literally fell out of the fridge on top of my head, a gift from god!

mckay75 said:My gravity was right around the same as yours...I checked mine tonight (day 10) and it was at 1.012. I'm going to rack and dry hop tomorrow night...and hopefully rinse the yeast for my imperial IPA this weekend! Wish me luck!
I'm about to brew the extract version (DME) of this IPA this weekend. I just got back from by LHBS and they had everything I needed except for the Warrior hops. They suggested Nugget as a replacement so that's what I went with. After researching on here, I have found many that have said Nugget will work fine, but I didn't see anyone post results of actually using Nugget in place of the Warrior. Anyone have Nugget results?
I've used a variety of bittering hops, and nugget works fine. I've also used galena, magnum, and chinook (and probably others, but I don't have my notes available). They are are good as bittering hops in this beer.
Jostci said:I brewed a version of this with some grain I received for xmas. It was a 10 gallon batch, 12 gallon boil.
Grain: 20 lbs ap 2 row, 1.5 lbs crystal/caramel 120 L, 1.5 lbs crystal/caramel 80 L, .5 lb crystal/caramel 60 L.
I hopped per the instructions but added 1 oz of cascade I had. Hit an OG of 1.071. I am fairly new to brewing and was wondering how much of an impact the different specialty grain will make. I believe this grain bill was for a 5 galloUn batch of barley wine. Any input would be appreciated.
Yooper - I see from another post that you are a winter Texan at the moment. I am here permanently, but farther south than you. However, if you visit South Padre Island while you are here, you will pass right by me. Feel free to drop in for a DFH 60 clone on your way. I have to say they are going fast though.
Well it's been in the primary for a week now, so I'm gonna move it to the secondary soon and take a gravity. Is there any disadvantage to having the extra sugars in there, and if the fermentation appears to be complete and I have a gravity of over 1.02 will it just be a heavier bodied beer or will that affect the flavor too?

Would this work as a partial mash?
6lb pale malt
1lb crystal 40
4lb light dme
Same hop schedule.
