I did this clone as an all grain BIAB. Seemed to go well but I missed my targets: OG = 1.065 instead of 1.076. I pitched the recovered yeast from a fresh bottle of Sculpin IPA (I guess I lied when I said I would use WLP001 unless that is what this is, some say its WLP028).
The day after I brewed I tasted my first bottle of Red IPA that I did with recovered Stone IPA yeast and it was horrible. I suspected from the tastes on transfer to the secondary and to bottles. Strong taste of apple cider vinegar and rubber. Made me very nervous. I suspect the problem was the yeast I recovered. There were very few viable yeast from that bottle.
Well, this one is wonderful. 6 days after pitching I am down to 1.090, exactly the amount below my target FG that I was below my target OG. And the beer tastes great. Hoppy, dry, malty goodness (flat and warm but who's complaining).
So, I'll toss the Stone yeast and try that one again. The Sculpin yeast is a keeper.

i said i had the recipe last night when i woke up this morning my inbox was filled soo here u go I got this recipe from the ballast point its a extract recipe i have yet to make it but used parts that i liked from it to create something new this ale is a more citrus like Ipa but with a kick let me know how it comes out CHeers

1 lbs corn sugar
HOPS

White labs california Ale yeast wlp001
what's the deal?
When I've had the commercial beer, it's been plenty bitter, super dry, and has a lot of hop flavor. Would love to replicate it given the cost here on the East Coast. But should I be adjusting the hopping to get closer to 70 IBUs?

Does anyone have a recommendation for the dry hop? Spread it out, or all 4 ounces at once? Duration? Any thoughts will be appreciated.
I would spread it out. You'll get the same dry hop character, just more of it. I like 4-7days per addition, but do whatever you've had success with in the past.
It'll taste like sculpin either way.
Do you need to do anything to the grapefruit to avoid contamination? Could you do this in primary, or does it need to be done in secondary?
well its been in the primary for 5 weeks with last 2 weeks with dryhops. kegged this 2 days ago and put on gas last night. gonna tap it this weekend, this beer smells really good i can't wait!!!! and ive got 10 gallons of it
the brew day went awsome, hit all the numbers perfect and it feremented down to 1.012 which is 7.3-7.5% abv!!
has anyone else brewed this? results?
I haven't put the time into putting a clone recipe together for this, but I can tell you everyone's gravitates are waayyyyyyyy off. It's a 1.063/1.008 beer.
Sculpin is extremly dry. I'd say that hitting a terminal gravity of 1.010 or lower is your number one priority with the grain bill. I'm assuming they mash very low, and add carapils to give the beer body. WLP001 seems fitting due to the desired attenuation.
Headed to Ballast Point right now!!! Can't wait to try some really fresh Sculpin.
Hello forum, first post.
Did a 5 gallon batch with the original, extract only recipe last night. I'm very new to all this. I have previously done an IPA kit my girl got me for Valentines day, but that was my first brewing experience. This site is a great resource and I think I've found most the answers to my noob questions. Sculpin, Green Flash Palate Wrecker, and SN Hoptimum are kinda my big three favorite beers, I figured this recipe will probably be a good place to start.
I'm in the Vegas area and a local shop, U Bottle It, was very helpful and had the full range of hop varieties. Planning to dry hop around 7-10 days in to fermentation.
