Double IPA Lawson’s Double Sunshine IPA

[Malty_Dog]

I'll be making this again with a different yeast. Will post results. Anyone else made this?

I actually just brewed up a 3 gal batch of this Friday. Sweet Citra aroma blurping out the airlock, can't wait to try it. Plan to DH with 2 oz Citra. :rockin:

I've done this now with a few different yeasts, including self-harvested stuff, S-05, Nottingham, and stuff in my fridge I don't even know what it is.

The recipe from Mr. Lawson sez "Caramunich-type" and "Vienna-style" which in my mind provides a lot of leeway, and I've experimented accordingly.

Similarly, when I'm out of Columbus I've used Centennial, Nugget, whatever for the boil. On occasions when I find myself out of Citra, I've used Mosaic for dry hopping. Another time I used Equinox somewhere along the line.

So far I've been unable to screw it up -- I've certainly tried. One time forgot I had a batch in the fermenter, it was there three weeks.

People always ask for more. This recipe might just be idiot proof!

I'm cold crashing now. I used Imperial organic yeast. Will post results this weekend.

 

[DrGMG]

Here it is. Still a bit green but super juicy. Came out at 8.2%. I used Vermont yeast this time. It's a winner.

 

[DrGMG]

Just made this yesterday,only difference is I pushed back the last 2 citra additions to 5 minutes and 190 degrees,and I'm going to add a few more oz's in dry hopp,it's fermenting with Vermont ale from the yeast bay and it smells awesome so far,fingers crossed.

How did yours turn out?

Think I might brew this soon and also try using Vermont ale yeast as I never have but want to try. Maybe it'll be a little like a cross between a NE IPA and DIPA?

The original is more like a NEIPA but not as hazy.

 

[grassfeeder]

seems far far too low of hops for an 8.2 IIPA? No?

MALT/GRAIN BILL
8.5 lb (3.85 kg) 2-row pale ale malt
12 oz (340 g) Carapilsen malt
2.5 lb (1.1 kg) Vienna-style malt
1 lb (454 g) flaked oats
6 oz (170 g) Caramunich-type malt

HOPS & ADDITIONS SCHEDULE
0.75 oz (21 g) Columbus [14% AAU] at 60 minutes
1 oz (28 g) Citra [12.5% AAU] at 20 minutes
1 lb (454 g) corn sugar at 10 minutes
3 oz (85 g) Citra [12.5% AAU] at 5 minutes
3 oz (85 g) Citra [12.5% AAU] at knockout
3 oz (85 g) Citra [12.5% AAU] at dry hop

Single infusion mash: Achieve a target mash of 152°F (67°C). Hold for 45 minutes, then raise to mash-out temperature and begin lauter phase.
Collect enough wort to boil 6.5 gallons (24.6 liters) and boil for 60 minutes, following the hops and additions schedule. After the boil is complete, begin a whirlpool in the kettle and let the knockout hops rest in the hot wort for at least 30 minutes before chilling.

Chill the wort rapidly to 68°F (20°C). Ferment at 68°F (20°C) for one week. Add the dry hops and let the beer sit for an additional four to seven days at 55–57°F (13°C).

Looking to brew this either tonight or this weekend. Wondering what your choice was for Caramunich Type Malt? Also, any info on the water profile you used? TIA. Samples look great.

I have a batch of this fermenting right now. I used the recipe in Zymurgy as my base and it seems pretty close to this one. Only difference I had to make was to sub out the Columbus for some Apollo. Was really interested in how the large amounts of whirlpool hops would turn out. I did a standard hoppy water profile and stuck with 1056. I've only had the real stuff once at GABF a few years ago. Even with all the sampling I did that one did stand out. Really excited to see where this one goes.

-Edit -

Forgot to add for the Caramunich part I did half CaraMunich 60L and half CaraRed.

I don’t think i treated my water, i just recently started doing that. As for the caramalt, i used what my local shop had on hand.

Got this one transferred and kegged. Force carbed for a day and then set at serving pressure for most of today. After the first mini pour and letting it settle WOW. Aroma is awesome. So much tropical, pineapple citrus on the nose from the Citra. Great beer so far.

 

[jpLV]

Had this one in the keg for a month now and it's still pouring fantastic. Aroma has dropped a little but the flavors have rounded out and that Citra really shines with such a great malt backbone. Definitely going to rebrew this one for the summer.

 

[underd0g]

Easily my favourite recipe right now, brewed it twice and it's just fantastic.

 

[jturman35]

Never had the original but decided to brew 2.5 gals of this because of all of the folks raving about this beer. Pulled my final hydro and bottled this today! Mine came in at 8.8%

 

[jturman35]

Update:

Damn! Never had this beer, can’t get down in Mississippi. Best beer I have ever brewed and bottled. I typically keg.

 

[DrGMG]

Looks good. Enjoy.

I had this beer last summer after hearing about it for 2-3 years from a friend. After I finished the four pack he brought down I searched for the recipe and saw it online at BYO. This recipe is the same as has been noted already.
I've made this 5 times now and has been great every time. I've messed around with the hops a bit. One brew I was short on Citra so only used 2 oz @5 and 2 oz @ knockout. This was the favorite batch according to my neighbors.
I've also replaced the citra with a el dorado/mosaic mix at the same levels as the citra. Not as good as the all citra in the original recipe but still a good beer.

I've been using London Ale yeast for past 4 brews and like it the best.
