Corpsemaker IIPA

[scrambledegg81]

After a few re-works, I've decided to go with a standard IIPA instead of a red (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/how-does-puppy-look-red-iipa-192652/). So here's the newest version that I popped into primary today. Still calling it an IIPA even though OG is just slightly off the 1.075 max. Pretty excited about it after a quick pre-pitch taste...extremely balanced! Not overly sweet or hoppy with a nice citrus note. Looking forward to the final product...

omg my face is turning inside out reading that recipe. Should be killer!

I'd drop the crystal by half, and add another ounce of chinook FWH. Otherwise this won't be quite bitter enough to be worthy of being called Corpsemaker.

Weeeell...with the current setup it's sitting just below the normal limit for IIPA's (not that I'm one to follow the "normal" anything, mind you). I might dry-hop for more than a week depending on how it progresses. Will update.

:fro:

Edit: Since I'm thinking about it, I did loose a bit of yeasties when I went to pitch, so it might take a bit longer to start fermenting. They decided to have a kablooey-fest when I opened the vial & lost probably 1/5 of the volume, so I'll wait & see about dry hopping for longer.

kablooey-fest is now my favorite word.
