AG - Stone's Black IPA Clone

[winstonia]

This one is from Mitch Steele's book, 25mins into the mash.

I use the white plastic(electric) as a HLT, the rest is all gravity fed, fly sparge with a colander into the stainless steel and get the boil going on the gas

Tidy set up and I am sure that's a great recipe. :thumb:

Just finished sparging, waiting for the rest to drain. Tis black alright and like a mirror

I should be enjoying my day off :-D

The reciepe is pretty straight forward

90.6% Pale malt
4.9% Carafa 3
4.5% Caramunich 3 or 60L

Bitter with 66% Chinook for 90mins

At flame out add rest of hops 17% each of Simcoe and Amarillo

Dry hop with same flameout hops 2.9g/l

How many IBUs? OG?

 

[winstonia]

1080 OG
1014 FG

85 IBU's

8.7% ABV

Dry hop in secondary at 17c for 36hours and then cold crash the hops at 1c and hold for 10 days.

I can't do any of the above bar the 17c, need me some kegs

Too big, got super high efficiency yet again, 3rd brew on this setup having previously brew in a bag. Getting about 80% going to have to adjust my calculations

Very nice!
How long do you take to sparge?

 

[winstonia]

About 45mins, I'm going to batch sparge the next batch and see what sort of efficiency I get

I was wondering if anyone here had tried the Sublimely Self Righteous clone, and here we are! I'd be interested to know how this goes.
