Just got back from Trillium with two cases of various DDH DIPAs! Need to start brewing this one again for when all of those cans kick!
Okay, thanks. Thought my old age was kicking in!
@degivens - what were your water adjustments? Do you have this in a Beersmith BSMX file?
Bringing this thread back from the grave. I’ve still been brewing variants of this base recipe quite frequently and love it. At some point i’ll have to do a through write up of my findings.
As an aside, has anyone attempted to clone Cutting Tiles? That’s my new goal but I have so many questions about the timing of the wildflower honey..boil...peak ferm...late ferm...in keg...?
Haven't tried cloning Cutting Tiles, however I've brewed with honey quite a bit. When you add the honey depends on what you want to get from it. If you add it during the boil, most of the flavor will volitalize and be driven off with the steam. After flameout is better, but you're still going to lose some aromatics and flavor with escaping CO2 during fermentation.
Whenever I brew with honey, I typically add it at high krausen, that provides the best balance between maintaining the honey character, but still ensuring that the honey addition still ferments/the yeast doesn't stall out.

It is amazing!Wow CT looks amazing from what they have on their website.
About to transfer my beer tomorrow and was wondering how that hop filter from arbor fab that was mentioned worked for you guys. I went ahead and got one because of the crazy amount of hops these styles require. Normally I cold crash to help with it but Im going to forgo it this time. Don’t want to deal with clogged keg posts but I’m a little nervous about dropping the filter in there and disturbing all the gunk at the bottom. It seems like it’s also a little short to be propped by the carboy neck and there is no way to secure it to the siphon. Just wondering if there were any lessons learned using it.
For me I get a similar post boil volume, then roughly 6-6.25 in the fermenter, and 5 to final kegging. Tons of loss due to trub / additional dry hops.
Here's what I ended up doing:
10 lbs 1.8 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
2 lbs 9.6 oz Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM)
6.9 oz Carapils (Briess) (1.5 SRM)
5.9 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM)
5.8 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM)
9.2 oz Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM)
4.3 oz Milk Sugar (Lactose) (0.0 SRM)
0.50 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 60.
1.00 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 10.
3.00 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Steep/Wh
1.0 pkg London Ale III (Wyeast Labs #1318) [
4.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 4.0 Days
3.00 oz Galaxy [14.00 %] - Dry Hop 4.0 Days
3.00 oz Mosaic (HBC 369) [12.25 %] - Dry Hop 4.0
0.50 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Dry Hop
Only thing I would probably change for the next batch is scaling back the galaxy just a bit, I may next time use el dorado instead.

I emailed Trillium last year about adding honey and JC wrote back to me and said they add it during whirlpool so that it kills off any bugs that may be in the honey.
Alright, thanks... sounds like I'm in the ballpark then... my numbers had me with a total of 5.4 oz of hops.
Any chance you recall the amounts/times of your hop additions?
I was trying to stay close to the OP 25 IBU... although I switched mine up in Beersmith to sit at an even 30 IBU...
And as it stands, for the 3.5 gal batch, with my profile, I've got :
0.1 oz Columbus at 60 min
0.2 oz Columbus at 10 min
0.5 oz Columbus at FO, steep for 30 min
and that gives me about 30 IBU.
I got those numbers by entering the original amounts from the OP, then using the IBU slider to target 30 IBU, then rounded off.
Then I've got the 0.75 oz of columbus and 3.75 oz Mosaic in the dryhop.
I'm assuming you are targeting a higher IBU than the original recipe?
Or am I completely out to lunch?
