Another attempt at cloning this beer. The first attempt was close, but needed some tweaks. This is the result. Mash at 115F for 25 min. Raise to 149F for 90 min. Boil 60 min. Ferment 66F for 2 days, then 68F for 5 days, then 71F for 1 day. Crash to 50F and keg. Add dry hops to keg for 7 days, then transfer to another keg and carbonate.

Brewed it. Used 1 gal tap water, 4 gal spring water, 4 gal "drinking" water. Used 1/8 tsp Burton Water salts. I took the dregs from the growler that I got from Turtle Mountain and grew up the yeast to a pitchable amount. I pitched about 2 liters into this batch so I'm actually using the same yeast that Turtle Mountain used for their IPA. I was shooting for 1.060 on this beer, but I had the mash efficiency too high when I formulated the recipe and ended up with an OG of 1.058. #64
Dry Hopped 5/11/08

My last few batches have been dry hopped in the keg, but I think I'm getting some perfumy hop aromas with this method so on this beer I went back to adding the hops directly to the primary for about a week. During this time I'm swirling the hops back into suspension every day.

Kegged it tonight and I'm still blown away by how awesome this beer turned out. It's SO close to the Turtle Mountain beer that I was trying to clone. I think my hops are just slightly different from theirs, but it's extremely close. Also, using their yeast definitely made a difference and it really tastes like one of their beers. I'm really in awe of this beer right now. SO TASTY! :::drool:::
Wow

I just wanted to add that this is one of the best beers I've ever brewed... perhaps THE best. I really couldn't be happier with it. I will probably brew this again very soon and make a 10 gallon batch out of it. This one is going to disappear quick!
