American IPA • All Grain • 6.0 gal
Similar to Lagunitas Hop Stoopid but it came out darker. Brewed 3/6/10, kegged 3/27/10, tasted 4/6/10 and it is my best so far. Strong citrus with some pine notes as well. A lot of hops but worth it!

Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess

2-Row Caramel Malt 40L; Briess
2-Row Caramel Malt 40L; Briess
Sweet, Caramel, Toffee. S Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • 2-Row Caramel Malt 40L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden to light red color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.
- .15 lbs

Whirlfloc Tablets (Irish moss)
Enhanced Irish Moss in convenient tablet form
- .5 tsp
Wyeast Nutrient - 15 minutes (omitted from calculations)
Wyeast Nutrient
Although wort is a good growth medium for yeast, additional Wyeast Nutrient will reduce lag time, improve yeast viability and provide consistent attenuation rates. Low assimilable nitrogen concentrations (FAN) of grape must or wort have long been known as a cause of sluggish or stuck fermentations. Wyeast yeast nutrient, a blend of vitamin B's, minerals, inorganic nitrogen (DAP), organic nitrogen (amino acids), zinc, phosphates and other trace elements will benefit yeast growth and carbohydrate uptake for a more rapid, complete fermentation. Use 1/4 tsp per pint for beer propagation, 1 tsp per 5 gallons for wine or beer fermentation or 1.5 oz per 10 barrels for beer fermentation.
- .5 tbsp
5.2 pH Stabilizer - In Mash (omitted from calculations)
5.2 pH Stabilizer
Five Star 5.2 pH Stabilizer. A proprietary blend of food-grade phosphate buffers that locks in your mash and kettle water at a pH of 5.2, regardless of the starting pH. It also reduces scaling and mineral deposits on brewing equipment. 1 pound. Use at the rate of 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water.

Better than expected

This recipe turned out very well and has been a big hit with several of my fellow hop-heads and my local brew club. It is almost a Cascadian Dark variant of a double IPA. I will be brewing a double batch at the end of May to keep my fridge filled.
5 oz of High Alphas @ 60??????????

Stubbornman: Don't let the listed 280 IBUs fool you. The beer cannot really get that high - this one is actually between 90-100 IBUs. I am entering this batch into my local county fair in July - we'll see how it does.
Took third place at the fair

This took third place in the Napa Town and Country Fair (Napa, California).
