I did the 90 minute boil and nailed the OG in the recipe. So abv is a factor? As far as IBUs, we're aiming for the flavor hops so 60 minutes might be a bit too intense imho? Don't get me wrong, I use a lot of hops in my beers. But, With the hop profile of columbus, i'd rather boil it out at 90...

I don't get why people like this one either. I'm a hop head too. My favorite duck rabbit is the barley wine. Tw.

I'd be dry hopping like you said.

I used tangelo orange peels once and they rocked. This was a wheatless hefe which needed lots of coriander, orange peels and orange spice to make it seem like a hefe. German pilsen for grain. Whitelabs hefe yeast. Came out awesome. Those tangelos are nice peels.

Double simcoe from weyerbacher. Had stone ipa tonight and my own IPA.

The local brewpub which hosts our meetings had to jncrease its insurance because people bring their own beers.

I had it too yesterday. I want bottles now! Too bad I missed you. We have a pocono club with gatherings.

I did a take of this but used citra as well as the other three hops and only used centennial for flameout. Fantastic! Never had hoppyum. Bet it's good. I also changed the grains a bit to make this my own.

They could be used as a wild yeast?! Ouch. Now i see why some places wrap hops tightly.

I didn't get much of a hoppy kick from zythos hops but was amazed at how well WL530 worked with this beer i made. Granted i had simcoes and centennials for flavor and aroma. I didn't want too much bittering but wanted floral qualities. Zythos would be my choice for a Belgian IPA hop again. But...

I subscribed to this thread just because that recipe looks so delicious. I know you want to replicate that beer but i wonder what using citra instead of cascade would do as far as flavor. Seems like there could be more hoppiness in the boil too besides dry hopping?

Centennials, simcoes, and cascades.

I had the same question and this is what I'm going to do. The only tricky part will be hoping the boil starts at the same time or else I will need two timers. I have two five gallon coolers and am also considering splitting grains for high gravity beers. So two mash tuns and two pots would make...

My three year old came in and wondered when she was going to throw hops and i had to explain I had prehopped extract!

Simcoes instead of cascades in my case.
