Double IPA Victory Dirt Wolf Double IPA Clone

This was a big hit at a Halloween party I hosted. Went through 5gal in 3 hours. Everyone was raving about it. Not bad for an extract brew

Which recipe did you use?

I just tasted my hydrometer sample and damn if this doesnt come very close to Dirt Wolf! Thank you for the recipe, I was somewhat skeptical cause none of the clone recipes ive tried has actually tasted like the mersh product but this one has hit the mark all the way. I will post up pics and a proper review when bottles are carbonated and conditioned.

I know this post is 5 months old, but wouldn't champagne yeast be a bad idea? Those yeasts eat more sugar than an ale yeast, so might you not possibly end up with bottle-bombs? Unless you aren't using any priming sugar, that is...

Hmm, now I want to experiment! If only I wasn't on a brewing hiatus...

Nope. Beer yeast will eat up more complex sugars than wine yeast so you have nothing to worry about. Overcarbonation could only come into play if your beer yeast couldn't handle the alcohol content of your beer or it crapped out prematurely

Victory uses a Kolsch yeast for Dirt Wolf and Vital. Keep in mind all of the boiling hop additions are whole cone at Victory. They dry hop with pellets.
