Specialty IPA: Belgian IPA Slightly Stoopid Belgian IPA

[TBC27]

Just added the dry hops today. Color is spot on. Tasted great. FG made it all the way down to 1.008! That makes the beer 6.5%.

I've wanted to brew this beer for a while now - it looks fantastic and I've brewed 4 or 5 of Remmy's recipes now and they've all turned out great. Anyway, I finally got around to it today. I did substitute 2 Row for the Pilsner malt since I have a ton on hand and couldn't get up to the LHBS this week, but hopefully it'll still be awesome (with that hop bill, how could it not?)

Here’s a pic. A bit lighter than @remmy’s original pic. Nose is awesome! Tastes great...out of my new FWBC glass. View attachment IMG_3404.jpg

Guys, how do you check someone's list of submitted recipes with the new software?
Before it was a drop down under the avatar but now I can't find it.
There were a few from Remmy I wanted to try.

Thanks!

I'm in Loveland. Any Homebrew shops up there?

Brewed this recently and just tapped the keg...wow fantastic recipe thanks Remmy! I used columbus and simcoe for bittering and then columbus and mosaic in a hopstand and dryhop.

Brewed this 2 weeks ago really excited to see how it turns out! The yeast went nuts and made quite a mess but so far seems like it'll be totally worth it. Been wanting to brew a Belgian ipa since I started brewing so I'm trusting you Remmy [emoji6]

You will not be disappointed. This is my favorite home brew of all-time.

Any ideas for a dry yeast substitution, specifically from Fermentis, that's all we get with regularity here. Maybe a blend of 05 and T58, with 05 making up 95% of so of the blend?

I can't get over how awesome this beer is! Been getting compliments that this is their favorite beer I've brewed. It's quite a bit lighter than in the picture couldn't get a good photo outside. Thanks again!

@Remmy What kind of water profile are you using for this? I'm hoping to brew this weekend. Ill be using MJs M47 Belgian Abbey.

Brew day went w/o a hitch. Missed OG by .002 but had an extra half gallon, ill take it.

After about a year and a half hiatus of brewing, I got a whole new system and brewed this on it as the christening of the system!

1.056 on the dot. Had some good fermentation going for 3 days or so, hope it turns out!

After a week on gas this was pretty astringent, i wasnt holding out much hope. But after another week of conditioning this beer is great. I had originally tried to brew this for a comp, as i dont much like the esters typically found in belgians, i thought this might be a good comprimise. It wasnt ready in time, but i brought a growler to an inpromptu club meeting and this was by far the favorite of my 3 brews, besting my 1st place cider from the same comp and my admitedly mediocre NEIPA. Everyone loved this, but werent convinced it was a belgian. It did taste more like an APA, but had a touch of spicyness. I fermented on the cool side with MJs abbey ale yeast, 62, to supress some esters, perhaps i could bump it up a few next time. It was nice to hear "a beer worth paying for". It also got called a hoppy saison by a commercial brewer, which i never would have thought of, but it was still his favorite of the night. Anyway tldr; great recipe! This is a repeat for sure.

Going to brew this with the 3787 on the weekend. Anything to note on the fermentation schedule? Same process as for a triple with this yeast or should it be kept on the cold side? Just afraid it will stall if I control the temperature too much.
