Clone of Dogfish head #61

[atietyen]

I'm going to attempt a clone of the Dogfish head #61. (IPA and wine) I think I have the ingredients down but the yeast selection has me stuck. Should I use the IPA yeast or a wine yeast? Has anyone ever made a beer like this and what yeast did you use?

I believe they use Ringwood yeast. You should use Ale yeast for this. This is still a beer, just with grape juice added. Good Luck!

Any update on this? What recipe did you go with?

I'd be interested on how this turned out.

You would use ale yeast. Ale yeast will love the sugars from the grapes. Yes, I have made a beer wine hybrid. I used about 30% of the fermentable sugars from wine grapes. It came out very well. Good luck with yours!
