When thinking of a beer to brew for an upcoming homebrew competition I immediately thought of my two favorite Black IPAs i.e. Stone Sublimely Self Righteous Ale and Firestone Walker Wookey Jack. So I went search of clone recipes on HBT and once I found 2 that I thought would turn out close to their respective commercial beer I came up with the following recipe.
Grains:
13 lbs Maris Otter, pale malt
1.5 lbs Rye Malt
0.50 lb CaraRye (65L)
0.60 lb (9.6oz) Midnight Wheat
0.62 lb (10oz) Carafa III
Hops:
1.35oz Chinook @ 90 minutes (51.9 IBUs)
1oz Amarilo @ 20 minutes (14.7 IBUs)
1oz Citra @ 20 minutes (23.6 IBUs)
1oz Simcoe @ Flame out
1oz Citra @ Flame out
0.75oz El Dorado @ Flamout (my twist on the clone recipes)
Yeast: Wyeast 1098 British Ale (2L starter)
Mash @ 147F for 60 minutes
Mashout @ 168F for 10 minutes
Preboil Gravity: 1.065 (I got 1.057 (76.4% efficiency)and used to 1 lb of DME to correct the gravity)
Preboil Volume: 7.95 gallons
Dry Hopping:
1oz Citra - 3 days in primary
1oz Simcoe - 3 days in primary
1oz El Dorado - 4 days in secondary
1oz Amarillo 4 days in secondary
Original Gravity: 1.084
Target FG: 1.017
Ferment @ 68F
Thoughts?
