Skeezer, et al.
I joined this forum today specifically for the purpose of singing this recipes praises. I made the 5-gallon PM version but used a 5 # grain bill. So 2.5 lbs 2-Row and 4.5 lbs. DME. Everything else in the recipe remained the same. Used Wyeast 1968 with a 1L starter on a stir plate and dry-hopped for 9 days. 2 weeks bottle conditioning at room temp, 1 more week conditioning in the fridge. The end result? WOW is this sh*t good! I absolutely love it! Ive had ZD many times, especially the old recipe when it was 100% citra, and I have to say this is damn close. What an amazing recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. I plan on making this again, and again, and again, and again
probably trying different yeasts along the way. Think I'll use S-04 on the next one and see how that turns out. Then probably WLP001 on the third batch.
Cold crashing isn't necessary. I didn't cold crash mine and it turned out fine. It was clearer before the dry hop, but still looks great to me. Here's a pic:
