Block 15 Sticky Hands Clone?

[anteater8]

I took another stab at cloning this beer, although I purposely made some changes that I know are not in the actual Sticky Hands. However, in my opinion this is an improvement from my previous attempt (post #22). Here's what I changed:

Grain: Simplified grain bill with less wheat and carafoam, also added sugar to dry things out a bit. Both of these were improvements as it is definitely cleaner and crisper.

Hops: Simplified to only have 60 min, whirlpool and dry hop. All Columbus and Centennial in the whirlpool works wonders, I knew this from other recipes. I replaced Mosaic with Simcoe for more pine and this worked well for my tastes. Bitterness is spot on. Equal parts citrus, pine, tropical fruit and dank.

Yeast: Replaced wy1056 with Imperial House (WLP007). Another improvement, flavors are better integrated. I generally have not been happy with wy1056 in my west coast IPAs.

Water: Upped the gypsum a lot for a 300:75 sulfate:chloride ratio, and I am finally happy with how crisp it feels. I also mashed at a lower PH than usual (5.3) but its hard to say how this changed the final beer.

Recipe:

6 gal

7.5 lb 2 row
7.5 lb Marris Otter
0.5 lb Wheat
0.5 lb Sugar
0.25 lb Carafoam

2 oz Centennial Whirlpool
2 oz Citra Dry Hop
2 oz Simcoe Dry Hop
2 oz Amarillo Dry Hop

Imperial House
300:75 sulfate:chloride
Mash PH = 5.3

O.G. = 1.070
F.G. = 1.012
ABV = 7.6%

I had this beer while out in Oregon and fell in love with it. I've done some digging around and haven't been able to find too much information on it other than this. Does anyone have any additional information? Anything that can help? Unfortunately, i was only out west for a trip so I won't be able to do a side by side comparison.

DIPA
8.1% ABV
Website Info
-Yeast: Brewers Choice
-Grain Bill consists of 2-Row, Pale Wheat, and Carafoam
-Color looks to be somewhere in the 7-10 SRM range

Podcasts I have listened to mention the beer having a later addition of hop shot to the boil and the following hops are in the beer.
-Amarillo
-Centential
-Columbus
-Citra
-Mosaic

Has there been any progress or final recipe for this, I dont get Block 15 stuff very often where I live, so I would love to make some sticky hands.

I just had a pint of sticky hands from the tap at The Horse Brass and I would SWEAR it had a Crystal Malt in it. Beyond the 5-7% carafoam suggested. Im thinking 5-8% crystal 40 or so??

...and it was damn tasty.
