6# extra light DME
steeping grains (30 min @150-155F)
1.25# Crystal 10L
1.00# Carapils
8 oz. Caravienne
60 min boil:
0.5 oz. German Magnum
0.5 oz. Warrior
0.25 oz. Columbus
0.25 oz. Northern Brewer
30 min boil:
0.5 oz. Crystal
0.25 oz. Centennial
0.25 oz. Simcoe
1/4 tsp super irish moss at 10 min

1 oz. Amarillo
10 day primary fermentation at 67F. on day 4 added 1# dextrose (dissolved in 1 cup boiled water) to primary.
on day 10, racked onto secondary with 1 oz. Amarillo (leaf), 1 oz. Simcoe (leaf).

dry hop additional 7 days (14 days total in secondary)
This is not a Ballast Point Sculpin clone per se but is an amalgamation of various recipes online attempting to reproduce Sculpin IPA, which ranks among my favorites. I can't seem to get any fresh Sculpin up here in CT and haven't been able to do a proper comparison. The recipe looks like it's just meant to be annoying with the small hop additions during the boil, but I heard that may have arisen from Ballast Point's origin as an offshoot of a homebrew supply shop. Whatever the initial reasoning, I do think this eclectic hop bill produces the complexity of flavors in this otherwise clean and crisp IPA.
The late dextrose addition is to help attenuation for us extract brewers. This results in a lower OG; I estimate the late dextrose addition as producing +0.9% ABV to the measured OG/FG calculation.
The lowly sea raven is a rather unattractive and slightly spiny fish seen in the North Atlantic. It gets no respect and is often thrown back by anglers, but to me it has the taste and texture of monkfish...for which people will gladly pay an arm and a leg.
Took 1st in the IPA category out of 45 entries at the 2013 SNERHC with 40 pts from both judges, despite getting dinged for over-carbonation. oops. (I don't think they realized it was an extract brew). Dedicated to my friend and fellow hophead Will Kher...gone too soon. This one's for you buddy.
