Lagunitas Hop Stoopid Clone - Straight from Lagunitas

[somedudefromguam]

So, on the front of a hop stoopid bottle it says: SG 1.084 and alcohol by volume 7.7%. When I punch this all into promash, I get an FG of 1.026 ---that seems like a huge FG something is going on here.... If you go by the posted recipe, SG 1.074 and FG of 1.016 would give you the 7.7 volume alcohol, which seems do-able.
I will be following the posted recipe w/o the hopshot, and I am worried about some off(vegetable, grassy) flavors from the huge bittering addition. Should I use the highest alpha hop I have? or maybe cut down on the IBUs and hope my buddies don't notice? Anything else I can do? or maybe just dont worry have a homebrew etc...

Thread necro, sorry about that.

On my bottle it says 1.085 and 8% ABV. They must be reformulating the recipe for some reason.

I brewed it with the hopshots and it turned out dead on. I'd just pick up some hopshots from NB, they are real cheap.

[hopstupid]

[josh-h]

just ordered the ingredients for this..cant wait!! i plan on doing this batch as many times as it takes to get it perfect. probably my favorite beer. Ill post my progress here.

 

[Clint04]

Subscribed.

Want to keep tabs on this thread, so I can brew this in late August.

 

[josh-h]

brewed 6 gallons of this yesterday. came in a little under at 1.071. Tossed some less than active london ale yeast on it and am hoping for the best.

 

[realtree2]

For those who have tasted the clone: How close is it? This is easily becoming one of my favorite beers, and I am planning on brewing the extract version over the winter.

 

[josh-h]

i brewed this about a month ago..i used wyeast 1056 yeast because thats what i had on hand. i also missed my O.G. by about 5 points due to equipment calibration..all that being said, it tastes pretty good. Yesterday i brewed a 10gal batch of the same recipe using the proper yeast and nailed the gravity...i will post progress..ill also let everyone know how the original batch tastes in a few days. initial tastes were thin tasting. Hopefully due to lack of carbonation.

Was a mash temp established yet?

 

[josh-h]

I was shooting for 158.

 

[dooman333]

Thank you sir. Brewing this on Saturday.

 

[josh-h]

Doorman, how did the brew go?

 

[sr20steve]

I was shooting for 158.

Waaaay too high, I mashed at 149. DIPA are typically finished low to dry it out. With a big beer like this it will already finish a tad higher. I think mine finished at 1.014 with mashing at 149 so unless you want a 1.020 fg I would mash lower.

 

[josh-h]

Thanks for the advice. I got that number from another thread regarding this particular beer. Just tasted it again and the carbonation is there and the flavor is really close,even with all the variants. It's delicious, maybe a little more bitter. Great tasting hop bomb though.

 

[CBMbrewer]

Lagunitas supposedly mashes all of their beers pretty high. I think they also get crazy high attenuation though.

 

[josh-h]

Yeah,I'm pretty certain that I got that number directly from the brewers. It was actually 160 and I thought no way. So i went with158. It's really really close.

 

[sr20steve]

The London ale doesn't seem to attenuate real well compared to cali ale, I'd mash lower IMO. And I use a big starter and pure O2.

 

[josh-h]

First batch was w-1056, big starter and plenty of pure o2.
Second batch (fermenting now) I went with London ale, huge starter, and pure o2. Hit the gravity right on the nose. Feeling really good about 2nd attempt. And believe me the first attempt doesn't suck at all.

 

[sr20steve]

Yea, it was one of my best DIPA's for sure. I love the simple grain bill, let the hops shine.

 

[trapae]

Have most people been doing a 90 min boil on this?

 

[Haputanlas]

Have most people been doing a 90 min boil on this?

I usually do 60 minute boils(unless I have to boil off more wort to get to my desired gravity).

 

[josh-h]

I have been going 60 minute boil on this beer.

So I'm finally getting around to wanting to brew this one but i'm trying to figure out why this recipe is calling for 1.074 and the bottle i'm holding in my hand says 1.085.
I see a couple folks referencing that but don't see any answers to the discrepancy.

Anyone?

the bottle is wrong

if the og is 1.085 it's fg would be around 1.024 to hit 8% alcohol

way to high for a dipa

I brewed the recipe Tasty did and I must say its spot on. I was hesisitant about the 4oz of Columbus at 90 min but, its a very very good clone.

 

[rrayriver]

Could you share that recipe or share a link to it? Thanks

 

[trapae]

I ended up changing it a bit. I decreased IBUs and ABV to make it a little more friendly for the wife. It turned out very very good. More piney than original. When I do it again I will increase the cascade or sub centennial to give a little more citrus, and maybe something for a little more malt backbone ( just personal preference ). Here is the recipe, let me know how it goes if you brew it.
