Check out Farmhousebrewingsupply.com. He's got a running thread in the vendor forum also for his Pliney hop pack. He's usually in and out of stock with them.

+1. I brewed that recipe and it was fabulous. I've only had true Pliney once, and it was a month old, so I can't say I "cloned it", but I know I brewed an incredible version of it! Definitely go with the recipe EllisTX linked. You can't go wrong.

More beers extract recipe is selling for 50$, I'm an all grain brewer and looking for an all grain recipe. Hard to spend that kind of money to look at a recipe.

Ok I checked out the recipe it it looks great but maybe i'm a little stumped by one of the hop variations. Can someone help me figure out what CTZ is?

Columbus/Tomahawk/Zues
KSWbeer: Columbus, Tomahawk and Zeus (CTZ): A hop by any other name…

CTZ refers to Columbus/Tomahawk/Zeus hops. They're grown by 3 different farms and each independently "found" the variety, which is why there's three different names. If you can find any of the three, go ahead and use them for the CTZ hops. Also, send Farmhouse Brewing Supply a msg and ask if his Pliney Pack may be back in stock sometime soon. That'll cut your hop costs down considerably. Very good source for ingredients and equipment.

Oh man now I get it thanks bud! Man I love this site! Thanks again for the info...

Vinnie actually put his recipe out there for all to see in a format that you can use to scale a 5 gallon batch. I have it in .pdf but it's apparently too big to upload. I'm sure you can find it if you look around a little bit. It might even be on the Russian River website?

 

[watergod]

Interesting... I will start hunting it down then.

Links to both of Vinnie's versions are here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/pliny-226946/

Also, if you have Brewing Classic Styles, the recipe "Hop Hammer" is Jamil's version of Pliny. Try any of the three.

Yeah...the 2nd one is the one I have. The one with the "Lupulin Threshold Shift" quote. I've done it once...turned out pretty good. Unfortunately, I've never had the real Pliny to compare it to. This recipe, as far as I know, is the one Vinnie handed out at a homebrew conference. Great brew any way you put it.

I have Brewing Classic Styles and I think I'll brew hop hammer next week. I'll let you know how it compares. I live about an hr away from Russian River Brewery and love Pliney. Anxious to see how close it is to Pliney...
