snow day IPA

[DocScott]

Work's cancelled. I'm stuck inside. Remaining keg of IPA almost out. Great excuse to fire up the mash tun.

I have about 7 pounds of hops and all the grain I'd need to brew up a west coast IPA/IIPA. What do you recommend?

first thoughts would be:
Pliney the Elder
Pliney the Younger
Enjoy By...
Double Jack

What say you friends? Any other suggestions?

Unfortunately I still have to try and work today, and while I'd wanted a snow day brew day myself, I don't get paid until tomorrow. Hah.

Back on topic, not much of an IPA/IIPA guy myself, but of the choices, I'd go with Enjoy By.

Enjoy By! one of my favorites and definitely on my "to do" list

Yeah I'm a big fan of Enjoy By. I have found a pretty much exact clone that I use for brewing that: http://www.bertusbrewery.com/2013/10/wedding-batch-3-enjoy-by-092813.html

Yeah...I'd probably use one of Scott's recipes for any of the clone choices above. He does a great job with his blog and my mouth waters every time I read one of his posts.

How about 'Pliney the Middle aged'? Sorry, couldn't resist. .
It's a snowday up here too. I'm stuck at work with nothing to do, so I'm bored and looking for places to make smart ass comments.

I second the Enjoy By and since you may be out of work tomorrow, brew the Double Jack tomorrow.

I definitely will NOT be out of work tomorrow. Snow days are pretty rare for me in my job.

I decided to brew the Pliney the Elder recipe after checking my base malts and realizing I didn't have any Pale Ale Malt on hand to make the Enjoy by. As I'm on the East Coast and can't get anything from Russian River out here, I decided to make some.
