Notes
This is my favorite commercial DIPA, and one of the best batches of DIPA I’ve brewed. Thanks to Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River Brewing for sharing his recipe with the homebrewing community IBU’s: 95-100 (despite the IBU calculator results) Note: Can substitute Crisp Maris Otter for the North American 2-row for a more noticeable malt character. The beer will also be a bit darker. However, the actual Pliny uses a North American 2-row, very little crystal, and is very pale. add 1.50 oz. Chinook 13.0% as Mash Hops Mash grains with Chinook Mash Hops at 150-152 for 60 min Boil 90 min. Pitch large starter (2L or more) of WLP001 CA ale yeast. Ferment at 68F for 1 week Transfer to secondary and add dryhops. Secondary at 68F. Wait two weeks. Keg or bottle.
