Hello,
As the thread title indicates, I'm looking for a clone recipe or a recipe for something similar to New Glarus Thumbprint IIPA. What I enjoy the most about this double IPA is its perfect (in my opinion) balance between the strong, bitter hop flavor that is characteristic of double IPAs and its pleasant, somewhat sweet aftertaste. A clone recipe would be ideal, but I'm also open to a recipe that fits what I described above. Here is a blurb on the beer from the New Glarus website:
"A provocative 85 IBUs reverberates cleanly through this Double IPA. True hop saturation from kettle boil to dry hop cellaring dominates this elegant and lustful sensory enchantment. You hold a deceptively seductive Original Gravity of 19.2 Plato, following the always 100% natural bottle fermentation. Luscious English Maris Otter malt is the essential heart of this voluptuous double IPA. Surrender is inevitable so enjoy now."
Also, I'm looking to do an extract brew as I lack a mash tun. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks!
