This is my first attempt at a clone recipe, so any input and advice would be greatly appreciated!
I've been scouring the internet for information on this beer.. they just released a new batch of IPA/IIPA's in December and they haven't released much information on their website as they do with other beers.
Having said that, I have been able to find some information and this is my attempt at a recipe.
Hops:
I found an article mentioning the hops that are used in this beer.
Mosaic, Calypso, Delta, Bravo. I haven't used any of these hops with exception of Mosaic - Anyone with experience on these hops want to shed some light?
I know that this beer is 70 IBU so here goes:
1 oz Bravo at 90
.75oz Mosaic, .75oz Calypso, 1oz Delta at 10
.5 Calypso at 160
.5 Mosaic at 160
Dry hop:
No idea?
Shot in the dark:
1oz Mosaic, 1oz Calypso, .5oz Delta
Yeast:
I know that this beer is 9% abv and that the FG is 1.012 (degassed a sample last night)
I've only used 1 yeast that gets the AA% and that's WLP090
Their website says the use ale yeast .. duh
Grain:
This is the most difficult part for me anyway. Most of their beers they detail the grain that is used.. a lot of their IPA/IIPA's use c120/black malt. Personally, I taste biscuit in all of their IPAs .. someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
I was having issues with using an SRM printout with the sample side by side, however I do happen to have a bells 2 hearted clone on tap at 10-10.5 SRM - The New Belgium Voodoo Ranger and my 2 hearted clone are almost identical in color.
Having said that, here is a stab at the grain bill:
With having a FG of 1.012 and 9% abv - the OG needs to be at 1.080-1.081
I get around 70% efficiency with my setup
15 # American 2 row
1 # Biscuit malt
.75# C60
For others:
89% 2row
6% biscuit
5% c60
This should get me a preboil of 1.059 at 7.5 gallons in the kettle and 5.5 in the fermenter at 1.080
59*7.5/5.5
Color:
This gives us 10.53 SRM which should get us pretty close
Any tips/ feedback is greatly appreciated!
