Yes, you got the hops right.

You must be referring to my multiple personalities. We say your welcome.

Huh, this is very interesting to me. First off thanks to both the people who do the show and the person who posted this thread, I love reading about how different beers I've actually tried are created.

I was really surprised by this one, I guess mostly I expected a more complicated grain bill. For my first AG batch ever I started with a kit from midwest for a Belgian IPA, because I liked the Raging Bitch and wanted something similar in style, plus I hadn't done anything with an ABV that high before and wanted to try.

That kit had all kinds of stuff in the grain bill. It had 8lbs belgian pilsner, 1.5lb wheat malt, 8oz cara-20, 4oz aciduated malt, and 1lb belgian candi sugar.

It is really incredible to me that something similar (and quite possibly better, the kit was good, not great) can be made so much more simply.

Pretty damn close

 

[TimTrone]

A wit yeast? That's very interesting. A bunch of people are using the abbey styles yeasts for ipa's, but a wit yeast is new. I'd love to know how this turns out.

 

[CastleBlack]

Hmm... no dry hop and wit yeast?

A different type of IPA Indeed...

I thought there was a whirlpool for this recipe. Anyone know what the time was for the whirlpool?

Whirlpool and flameout are the same.

To answer my own question I had a listen to the podcast and the whirlpool was for 30mins.

This one is gonna be interesting. I am anticipating the results of a real home brew made by the given recipe.

Not sure what that means?

Not quite sure if anyone here has tasted the final results of the given recipe.

I am curious to see how it came out.

Happy brewing to ya!

 

[PJM]

I gotcha now. Yeah, I'm waiting for some feedback on this recipe too. I love the original beer. Hope this is indeed a clone.

Yup, its one of our favorites around here at "Castle Black" (me and my roommate). We have tried cloning it before and it really came out great but the recipe was tending more toward an American type, west coast IPA than a belgian. At any rate, I think this one is gonna be quite interesting.

If you make it please let us know, I am right behind ya.

Happy brewing and may the cloning continue!

I worked on a clone of this beer. I was pretty close but I split my 2 row between US and Beligian and based my hop schedule off a 60 minute boil. I also used WLP 550.
I was wondering what yeast Flying Dogs "Diablo" strain was. I was thinking about reculturing from thier Wit next time because I heard it also uses Diablo.
Haven't gotten a chance to listem to the show yet (planned for today)...can't wait!

Brewed a second batch of this on 5/13/11, OG; 1.076, FG now at 1.013 now, will probably bottle tomorrow evening. My first batch was in April, bottled on 4/30/12. I will 'highly recommend' this recipe! Awesome orange color & white head, strong Belgian yeast flavors combined with citrusy NW hops makes for a flavorful brew.

Way to dig up an old thread. Flying dog has released their Stove Topper Beer kits. They release a different one each month March was Raging Bitch and this month is Woody Creek the wit beer. The yeast for both is their "Diablo" strain. as of now you can only get them at the Brewery and the LHBS in Frederick MD where they are located. I picked up both kits and plan on brewing the 2013 lineup you can see the line up on their website.

Would you prefer milled or unmilled?

I'm a FD brewer and work a lot on these kits. I personally preferred milling my own when I was homebrewing. I'd like to see what you guys think. These kits are the exact replica of our recipes.

I have a mill so it does not make much difference to me. The only thing I can control is the crush. and if I don't get to brew it right away then unmilled grains would last longer.

I imputed the RB kit into BeerSmith and I had to play around a little due to my system my OG 1.081 IBU's 64 and ABV 8.2. Not a big deal.

My question to you is the Gypsum do you split it between the mash and boil or does it all go in the Boil? Only being 40 Minutes from you I doubt our water is not that far apart.

If the instructions don't specify I would split it.

The first time I brewed this it was very close but the mouthfeel was all wrong. The malt and hop profile was spot on but it didn't have the prickly effervescent mouthfeel of the original. I emailed the brewery and talked about adding the gypsum which I did not do, but also they carb raging bitch at about 2.75 vols. I made these changes on the next brew and it is spot on.

 

[phuff7129]

One other thing the brewery said their El Diablo yeast strain is wyeast 3944 Belgian wit. They said that it is the exact strain as el diablo.
