Nice recipe, similar to bobbrews with the no hops in the boil approach. I imagine it would have really been there with more gypsum. I also like that this recipe shows you don't have to be so exacting with the malt and hops. I've used a combination of Golden Promise and 2-row and I usually...

:beard: This is the guy you should be asking that to with his mysterious sources.

For my 4th attempt clone I used the original recipe replacing Pearl malt with a 50/50 mix of Golden Promise and 2-row, and dropping the wheat and sugar (I prefer that malt taste without those) and using Citra and El Dorado instead of Amarillo, however I made those same replacements for the 2nd...

This beer was great, but unfortunately it wasn't at the Heady Topper level. My 4th attempt at the HT clone is the only beer I brewed that was really on that level. While this beer had some slight problems with temperature - I haven't been able to find a freezer that is big enough to hold my 6.5...

My 4th attempt at the HT clone is the only beer I brewed that was really on that HT level. I recently brewed a DIPA that I thought would get there again and it didn't. Malt was right, pH was right, hardness was right, 12 ml hop oil, 2 oz flame out, 4.5 oz whirlpool, and 3 dry hop additions...

Bottled on day 33. FG was 1.011.

Added 3rd dry hop on day 26: 1 oz Simcoe leaf, 1/2 oz CTZ leaf, 1/2 oz Centennial leaf, 1/2 oz Citra leaf, 1/4 oz Apollo leaf, 1/4 oz Comet

Added the 1st and 2nd dry hop on days 12 and 19.

My latest DIPA has no hops in the boil, 2 oz flame out addition, 4.5 oz aroma steep, and I plan to do a triple dry hop with 9.5 oz of hops to make it an even pound of hops. pH was perfect at 5.41 in the mash and 5.11 in the kettle. 5 Gallons: 8 lbs Golden Promise 8 lbs 2-Row 12 oz Caramalt 4...

Hop bursting could mean a lot of things although from my understanding it is supposed to mean that most of the IBUs are coming from late additions (which could still mean hop oil is used at the beginning of the boil.) I've had plenty of DIPAs, this is definitely higher in IBUs than most, and I'm...

I would say they are using hop oil for the inital bittering hops as it has that kind of taste to me. The IBUs are very high and they mention hop bursting so I think they're using a ton of late addition hops. I've also heard they have a long whirlpool at 190* so that will actually add IBUs as...

The last run with the acidulated malt turned out really good. If there was a Heady Topper Light this could be it. My complaints would be that it is a little too light and too dry and a little too bitter for the level of body. If one was trying to make a great IPA at this OG I would suggest using...

Bottled the most recent batch. Gravity was down to 1.006. Tastes pretty good. Will see how it turns out after carbonating.

I added the 2nd and final dry hop a few days ago, 2 oz of whole leaf hops: 1/2 oz Simcoe leaf, 1/4 oz CTZ leaf, 1/4 oz Apollo leaf, 1/4 oz Centennial leaf, 3/4 oz Citra leaf

A lot of this is based on the Heady Topper clone. They did some tests on the actual Heady Topper and someone even tested their clone, (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=481031, page 5). He used 22g gypsum in 4.77 gallons strike water which is over 4 tsp. His sulfate was a little...

Added first dry hop: 1/2 oz Simcoe, 1/4 oz CTZ, 1/4 oz Comet, 1/4 oz Apollo, 1/4 oz Centennial, 1/4 oz Citra, 1/4 oz El Dorado Gravity was down to 1.013.

Overall the beer was very good, but the beers where I had a lower pH were better. I did the recipe again and added 3 oz acidulated malt. I mashed at 148* for 60 minutes in 5.5 gallons of water, did a step mash at 156* by adding 2.75 gallons of 190 water, and didn't do a sparge because I...

Bottled everything. Final gravity was 1.009.

Added final dry hop: 1 oz Citra leaf, 1/2 oz Simcoe leaf, 1/4 oz Apollo leaf, 1/4 oz CTZ leaf, 1/4 oz Centennial leaf, 1/4 oz Comet for 2.5 oz total 3rd dry hop and 8 oz of total dry hops.

I would say bobbrews post #2967 (should be page 297) is the best at this point.
