Brews Diplodocus

Brew 15 – Diplodocus (Double IPA)

This is the same base recipe as my #6, #9, and #11, but this is the first time that I’m actually using the originally-called-for Summit and Simcoe hops instead of their substitutes. I also used a different yeast since the brew store was out of the WLP090.

  • Steeped Grains
    • 1.0 lb European Bulk Crystal Malt
    • 0.5 lb Cara-Pils
  • Sugars
    • 9.0 lb Extra Pale (Pilsen) Malt Extract
    • 2.0 lb Table Sugar (Sucrose)
  • Hops
    • 75 min: 1.0 oz Summit
    • 20 min: 1.0 oz Simcoe
    • 10 min: 1.0 oz Summit
    • 5 min: 1.0 oz Simcoe
    • 5 min: 1.0 oz Amarillo
    • Dry hopped in secondary: 2.0 oz Summit, 2.0 oz Simcoe
  • Misc
    • 10 min: Irish Moss
  • Yeast
    • White Labs Liquid California Ale Yeast WLP001

Use the larger primary bucket with this once since it always makes a lot of foam during fermentation.

  • Primary: 12 days
  • Secondary: 13 days
  • OG: 1.080 @ 76
  • FG: 1.018 @ 66
  • ABV: 8.4%
