Interesting! I checked gravity today at 1 week and it was at 1.015, so I decided to throw in the dry hop addition. Since I had it I went with a 1oz addition of Citra instead of the 1.5oz of Chinook it calls for. Love the citra smell, hoping for great results. This is gonna be a Yuuge beer, 8.5% ABV and 10 oz of hops good golly!
Edit: transferred to keg today after 8 days hoping, wow it finished out at 1.012, 85% attenuation. Looks great smells great can't wait to try it in a couple days
You guys think 23 days is good enough for grain to glass (got company showing up in Sept)?
With a strong starter and hold yourself to a controlled plan to ferment out, dry hop, and keg you could definately achieve this.
1st try at this turned out really good. I'll definitely make it again, maybe with the wyeast instead of SafAle.

This recipe's hop additions are incredibly outdated, as are most IPA recipes on this site. I would research whirlpooling and hopstands, your IPA's and taste buds will thank you.
Hope this helps...

They are suggesting a mini-mash for extract. This means just mashing, in the referenced recipe the crystal (which doesn't need mashing) and the Munich (which does) while adding extract to substitute for the 2-row. This is easy and can be done in a pot on the stove and a thermometer.
To Quote:
Extract Option
Substitute 8.25 lb (3.74 kg) pale malt extract syrup for the pale two-row (In the brewer's association recipe, 11 lbs of 2-row). Mash Munich and crystal malts at 155°F (68°C) for 40 minutes, or until Munich malt reaches conversion. Drain, rinse, and dissolve extract completely before proceeding with boil.
-- You can do the same with the OP's recipe by maybe going with 9#-10# of extract and mashing the Cara Pils, C40, etc the same way.
Awesome! thanks a lot!
So will everything else stay the same then, like the hop schedule?
Glad to see this recipe is doing so well.. I wasnt the OP, but damn... Been making this beer for years now... And now that Im the brewer for a local brewery. And went to the Brewers guild. I make something similar to this 10bbls at a time... OMG... It is amazing...
Keep it up

I used 10g of heavy toasted oak chips, so 1oz of medium toast chips should do nicely.
I didnt have any issues dumping the chips soaked in vodka into the primary either.
14.5# American Two Row
1.3# Cara-Pils
1.3# Crystal 40
.50# Munich
Mash for 60 minutes at 152. 90 minute boil.
Hop Additions:
90 Min- .50 oz Chinook (11.5% AA)
.50 oz Simcoe (12% AA)
60 Min- .25 oz Chinook
.25 oz Simcoe
30 Min- .25 oz Chinook
.25 oz Simcoe
15 Min- .75 Simcoe
.75 Chinook
.50 Amarillo (11.5%)
10 Min- 1 oz. Cascade (5.8%)
O Min- .50 Chinook
.75 Simcoe
Dry Hop- 2 oz. Amarillo
1.5 oz. Cascade
.5 oz Chinook
1 oz. of American Medium Toast Oak Cubes is added at the same time you pitch your yeast. I did this the first time as an experiment and man I think it makes a contribution in smoothness and just enough of a hint in the taste.
I did it the second time and got the same great results again. I only let it sit on the oak for 14-17 days until I'm ready to package the beer. Dry hops were all added to the primary after 7 days or obvious fermentation had settled down.
This recipe is based on the Green flash West Coast IPA on the Brewing Network "Can you Brew It" show. I changed around the hop schedule and made some additions and I can't get enough of this beer.
I've brewed it twice now and it is extremely drinkable. I brew a lot of IPA's but this is by far my favorite. The aroma is SO orange and citrusy. That's why I'm being a dork and calling it fresh squeezed.
If you give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.
I only use a secondary for lagering so can't really give you any advice.
I do have my own question about the dry hopping though. I would like to use something else other than the Amarillo. Anyone do that?
My options would be more cascade and Chinook. Simcoe, Columbus, Summit, El Dorado, Galaxy, Calypso, Vic secret, Ella, Topaz or Citra
