So I have the time and the pipeline. Would you suggest leaving this in primary longer? I don't think I would want to leave it in secondary on hops longer than this. The other question, worth dryhopping in the primary? I don't have another 6.5 carboy. Not a bad problem to have, they are all filled.
Brought this up for bottling today. It had been in primary at 62-64 for 3 weeks and 64 dryhopping in primary for another week. I checked the gravity and it was 1.020. I decided not to bottle yet. Will letting it come up to 74 start this again? I would love to see it drop a bit. Don't really need any bottle bombs. Also should I pull the hops? Been in for a week. Don't want a grassy taste. Ok to go another week, or should I pull them?
Thanks
I started at 9 AM and didn't finish until midnight

I'm doing the basic recipe, but have substituted all amarillo. Hydro sample tasted fabulous. Looking forward to dry hopping this in a few days. However, it is now its own DIPA, not a clone in any way. I don't care. I just want to make delicious beer.
Old thread, but looks like a great recipe! I'm going to start doing the math for this so I can do a batch next weekend. I've got the Magnum, some Perle, and a bit of Cascades. I'll be getting more hops, obviously, but any thoughts on mixing in the Perle and Cascades somewhere along the line?
I'll probably do a FWH and a late hop instead of the written schedule, plus a dry hop (duh).
Looks so good! I'm glad this will be a good young drinker, since I'm only 6 days into my first fermentation (SNPA clone) and I'm just dying to get it done!
I don't know what the final taste will be like with the cascades and perle mix instead of centennial. It won't be anything like Stone Ruination, more like SNPA, but it will still be good I'm sure. I don't use perle much in late additions, though, as I don't care for the flavor/aroma as much as the citrusy US C-hops.
This isn't news to anyone who's been paying attention, but this really is a fantastic recipe. I brewed up a batch a couple months ago and I'm steadily plowing my way through the bottles.
Side by side, I preferred this to the Ruination. Someone once suggested that they tasted a bit of onion in the Ruination, and ever since I haven't been able to get that out of my head as I taste it. Needless to say, the HB version doesn't go there.
Thanks Yooper!
First post. New to brewing. I am brewing the extract method of this recipe tomorrow. I will be using a full boil, should I start with about 6.5 gallons of water to allow for boil off? How long should I steep my grains and at what temp? Should I add my full 8# of DME at beginning with the full boil or save half for flame out? I would appreciate any I put.
Your 15 gallon will work fine. It is all you need. I have a 10 gallon for BIAB.
So I mash in the 15 gallon pot and I sparge in the 6?
I am fairly new to brewing, and I attempted this recipe (extract) for my third batch. I dropped 2 ounces of the magnum in for the entire boil. How drAmatic of an effect will this have on the beer? I also misread the recipe and switched to the secondary after only a week and dry hopped for 2 weeks. I am right on with the temps. The fermentation had significantly slowed before I pitched the dry hops. Should I add more because fermentation wasn't complete?
