Double IPA Dogfish Head 90 Minute Clone

[IMXELITE]

Thanks guys I poured in 3.3lbs of LME since I wouldn't have to worry about the volume of mixing the dme with water. My primary has gone crazy since then. Good thing I aways use a blow off tube during the fermentation.

Sweet. Let us know how it comes out!

I took a sample from my primary today and I got a FG of 1.01. I haven't heard any activity on a few days. I'm unsure of what my FG should be since my OG was 1.06 before I added 3.3 of LME. I'm thinking about dry hopping in the primary because I don't have a spare secondary. Oh FYI the sample I took tasted amazing.

 

[Scubadude918]

Yeah, I took a sample the other day from mine too, SG:1.016. I raised my temp up a bit to help the last bit ferment out and clean up. The sample tasted awesome. It's currently 7.35% ABV. I hope the gravity doesn't go below 1.010 because I love where it's at right now.

This recipe is great! I've brewed it twice (AG). My son and I did a side-by-side comparison; I couldn't tell the difference. He likes this version better! Will make this part of the rotation. Thanks for a great recipe!

Update, my SG is at 1.010 and its probably my FG. The Thomas Fawcett I ordered was a little darker than I expected 50L vs 35L. The color in the beer is spot on but the roast surely shines through. I like it. But at this point I wouldn't call it cloned because of this.

Give it a couple of weeks. That roast should mellow out a bit

Yeah, if not it's not that big of a deal, it's quite interesting as it is. In a good way. Plus I've yet to dry hop so that may have something to do with it.

Has anyone used WLP001? I have a yeast cake opening up. Looks like it has similar attenuation as WLP007 with a high alcohol tolerance. Ferment on the low temp end. I would wash and re pitch since its in a carboy and I cannot scoop up some slurry. Thanks

 

[RoadKing]

001 Should be fine. I used US-o5 and it was great.

Looks amazing. What was your final abv? I got a fg of 1.010 as well but still can't figure out my OG after adding the LME in the primary. I bottled mine last week I can't wait until it carbs up so I can try it.

My og was lower than expected. I came in at 1.072 and finished at 1.010 so that brings me to 8.14%. I kegged. The dry hop flavor is awesome.

If my calculations are correct... You had 5.2gal at OG: 1.060 and added 3.3lbs Light LME which added .022 SG. So you're looking at an OG of about 1.082 and your FG was 1.010. So you're looking at an ABV of about 9.45%

Great. Thanks for the calculations. I was looking around the net and got confused with all the dilution rates to figure out the abv. I really can't wait to try this as the sample at bottling was awesome flat.

If you mixed the
LME with water, it may be a little less ABV. But no problem, I'm glad I could help! Also, it may take a while for it to carb. My 9% stout took about a month and a half to carb due to the drunk yeast slackin off

My Fawcett amber malt just arrived! Can't wait to try this recipe!

Here is my experience:

This is my 2nd all-grain brew and I chose this recipe. Everything went fine except I screwed up on the 3 hop additions at the end where I had more than 0.5oz but I didn't care. I figured this is a good experiment and at the end, I would have beer anyways so it's a win-win situation.

I've made my first ever yeast starter (2 step) and the fermentation took off! I can't wait to drink this. Thanks OP for the recipe.

 

[pfgonzo]

Finally got around to brewing this weekend. Only used 15lbs of 2-row (along with the amber malt), so my OG was a little lower at 1.080, but it's still decent efficiency when you consider how big the beer is. I'm excited to see how it turns out!

 

[pfgonzo]

Oddly enough, the overwhelming comments from my peanut gallery of tasters is that this beer is "too smooth" and lacks the overly bitter bite of an IPA. I think it's great, personally, but perhaps on a re-brew, I'll up the early additions.

This was kegged and fast-forced-carbed two weeks after brewing, with dry hops in the keg. Tasted it three or four days later and it was perfect, so this can definitely be a rush-brew for someone looking for something impressive in a hurry.

Even with 4oz of dry hops, it clears nicely (no finings). Here's a pic! Any haze you see is glass-condensation, because in person I can see right through it.

What water to grain ratio did you use for the mash?

I believe it was 1.5qts/lb. I oversparged a bit and actually gave it an almost 2 hour boil to help.

I have to keep things loose enough to recirculate in my RIMS system, so doing super thick mashes (and getting high OG wort runnings) doesn't really work for me. I have to pull larger volumes and boil down.

 

[Scubadude918]

Ah true. I think I used 1.25 on my set and forget cooler system. Came in a tad low at like 1.072 or something. Maybe next time I'll mash 1.0 and see if I get better efficiency. My efficiency was total garbage. Even for a high grav beer.

Is this a ten gallon batch? Or five? Probably an abvious question. But several comments are that this is a huge ipa. So that leads me to beleive its a 5 gal. But id like to know for sure. I usually make 10-11 gal batches.

 

[pfgonzo]

The recipe is posted to be 5.5 gallons.

 

[Ian123]

Thanks

 

[wittenbergdoor]

Quick question. I'm fairly new to brewing. I'm doing this recipe this weekend, and my shop only had the Safale S-04. How would you recommend proceeding? Pitch the one packet and hope for the best? Pitch multiple packets? Make a starter? I don't want to go too nuts and wind up over-pitching. I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

 

[brewski09]

I would use a starter or just pitch 2 packets and you should be just fine. I've done this recipe with one octet and it was fine, but the yeast can get stressed easily with this recipe.

I'd just use one package of yeast, but make sure I aerate well. I usually oxygenate higher gravity beers. If that is an option it would be best.

 

[gjsumm]

What temperature is the fermenting at.
