I made a dank 5 gallon batch somewhat inspired by DD.

6lb Light DME
2lb Munich 10L
8oz 2row
8oz Victory
1lb C40
8oz C90
8oz Melanoidin

1oz Warrior @60
1oz Columbus @15
.5oz Simcoe @15
2oz Columbus @5

3oz Columbus DH
.5oz Simcoe DH

US-05

OG 1.071, FG 1.017, 89IBU, 14SRM

Turned out pretty good but not quite DD.

Hops were similar but needed to get even more extreme. I'm thinking for hops of switching the Warrior to Summit, Simcoe to either Centennial or Cascade...and possibly adding even more Columbus @15, maybe more DH

I'll also move more of the Crystal to C40 from the C90, perhaps more Munich, and switch the yeast to 1272 (it needed even more body)
 
Was it sweet and thin? I could see mashing higher or carapils for the extra body. FG > 20 sounds too sweet on crystal alone.
 
It didn't need any more sweetness, that why i was moving to the lighter crystal and I may cut a few ounces back.

As far as body/mouthfeel. I think I'm a little undercarbed, which would make a difference. I also get terrible efficiency with my mashes. I figure about 55-60 percent. So I definitely think another pound of Munich would help, escpecially if I go with 1272 which has less attenuation. A couple degrees in the mash is a good idea as well

I'm going to have to give it another taste. It's still fairly young. I just wish I had some more Deviant to taste next to it. Sounds like a roadtrip to WI is in order
 
I stumbled upon here after googling for a Deviant Dales IPA - I don't particularly like it and I'm trying to figure out what I don't like about it. I've had Dales Pale Ale and I love it, but I don't particularly care for this IPA and I want to pinpoint it. I hope its not columbus, because I just made an IPA with 4 oz of columbus...
 
Still haven't heard back but this one seems close as my memory recalls. Should hit the tap pretty quick. It's slightly lower in ABV at 6.58%, but thats a bonus for me!

I brewed it 4-6-13
Dry hopped 4-20-13
Kegged 4-28-13
Tapped 5-2-13

To me, it's close. I am going to brew it again this weekend with two changes:

1. Add Gypsum to my water. I sent Bobby from NJ my water proflie from Wards lab and he said it looked really good for Pales Ales and IPA's and that the only thing he might do was to add some Gypsum to enhance the IPA. I just used Gypsum for the first time on a batch almost 3 weeks ago.

2. Re-reading the OP comments about Oskar Blues telling him they hop with Columbus only, I am going to drop the DH addition to 4 due to the higher AA's and use the Columbus.

That should get it even closer I think.
