American IPA Furious Clone?

[jonmohno]

Im curious what recipe is the real deal, NB and Midwest recipes are pretty different from each other. Any other suggestions, or is there a recipe from BYO or anything? I want to brew this but not shure which recipe to brew from,since Ive never had any Surly I was wondering which was closest as I wouldnt be able to compare it. Im thinking about making this as my only batch this season and maybe getting it in my keg.

Edit: Also Id like to note that Ive found that NB version claims to be the actual recipe and not a clone as it states. If anybody would like to comment on whether the different versions make a difference, Id like to know what you think.

Well just found this one from BYO thought Id share it though: not shure if its too outdated or what or spot on?

Surly Brewing Company
Furious - IPA Clone
(5 Gallons/ 19 L,
extract with grains)
OG = 1.060 FG = 1.014
IBUs = 99 SRM = 15 ABV = 6 %

Ingredients
6.6 lbs. (3 kg ) Muntons light, unhopped liquid malt extract
1.5 lbs. (0.68 g) Hugh Baird or Simpson Golden Promise malt
10 oz. (0.28 kg) Belgian aromatic malt (25 °L)
12 oz. (0.34 kg) crystal malt (60 °L)
2 oz. (57 g) roast barley (480 °L)
3 AAU Ahtanum hop pellets (first wort hop) (0.5 oz./14 g of 6% alpha acid)
20 AAU Warrior hop pellets (60 min.) (1.25 oz./35 g of 16% alpha acid)
4.8 AAU Warrior hop pellets (2 min.) (0.3 oz./8.5 g of 16% alpha acid)
1.5 AAU Ahtanum hop pellets (2 min.) (0.25 oz./7 g of 6% alpha acid)
2.5 AAU Amarillo hop pellets (2 min.) (0.25 oz./7 g of 10% alpha acid)
3.2 AAU Simcoe hop pellets (2 min.) (0.25 oz./7 g of 12.8% alpha acid)
0.25 oz. (7 g) Ahtanum whole leaf hops (dry hop)
0.25 oz. (7 g) Amarillo whole leaf hops (dry hop)
0.25 oz. (7 g) Simcoe whole leaf hops (dry hop)
0.1 oz. (2.8 g) Warrior whole leaf hops (dry hop)
1⁄2 tsp. yeast nutrient (last 15 min.)
1⁄2 tsp. Irish moss (last 30 min. of the boil)
White Labs WLP 007 (Dry English Ale) or Wyeast 1335 (British Ale II) yeast
0.75 cup (150 g) of corn sugar for priming (if bottling)

Step by step
Steep the crushed grain in 2 gallons (7.6 L) of water at 153 ºF (67 ºC) for 30 minutes. Remove grains from the wort and rinse with 2 quarts (1.8 L) of hot water. Add the liquid malt extract plus the first wort hop addition and boil for 60 minutes. While boiling, add the hops, Irish moss and yeast nutrient as per the schedule. Now add the wort to 2 gallons (7.6 L) of cold water in the sanitized fermenter and top off with cold water up to 5 gallons (19 L).

Cool the wort to 75 ºF (24 ºC). Pitch your yeast and aerate the wort heavily. Allow the beer to cool to 68 ºF (20 ºC). Hold at that temperature until fermentation is complete. Transfer to a carboy, avoiding any splashing to prevent aerating the beer and add the dry hops. Allow the beer condition for one week and then bottle or keg. Allow the beer to carbonate and age for about two weeks and enjoy your Furious IPA.

All grain option:
This is a single step infusion mash. Use 8.0 lbs. (3.63 kg) 2-row pale malt to replace the liquid malt extract and increase the Golden Promise malt to 3.0 lbs. (1.36 kg). Mix the crushed grains with 3.75 gallons (14 L) of 170 °F (0 °C) water to stabilize at 153 ºF (67 ºC) for 60 minutes. Sparge slowly with 175 ºF (79 ºC) water. Collect approximately 6 gallons (23 L) of wort runoff to boil for 60 minutes. Reduce the 60-minute hop addition to 1 oz. (28 g) Warrior hop pellets (16 AAU) to allow for the higher utilization factor of a full wort boil. The remainder of this recipe and procedures are the same as the extract with grain recipe.
Note: If you have difficulty locating Golden Promise malt, substitute Maris Otter.

Go with the NB one. That one IIRC has tons of Simcoe dry hop. That is the signature of the beer. There is no where near enough hops in the recipe you posted to be a clone of that beer.

Agreed. The NB kit was created in conjunction with the Surly head brewer.

Yeah, I agree. I finally concluded that I want to buy a NB kit, if they ever have them not sold out every single freakin time I look.

You can put together the kit on your own. You can see the recipe on the website in PDF format. If you search around, you can find the dry hop quantities used. I believe it is 8 total ounces of dry hops (per 5 gallons), but I forget the ratio (something like 4 Simcoe, 2 Amarillo, 2 Warrior).

I did ,and I did the math,even doing a 2.5 gallon with exact ingredients it wouldnt cost me half what that kit is,it would cost more than half. It would cost me for 2.5 gallon batch like 40 + bucks for shipping and everything, thats why Im going to get the kit and split it and bottle one batch and keg the other in my 3 gallon keg. Simcoe and amarillo are like 3 bucks an oz.
