*If you like Dogfish Head 60 min. IPA, but think to yourself, "I wish I had just a little more hop bitterness against this malt," you're in good company, and this is the beer you should brew. I'm sure with time the hops will fade and be much closer to the true DFH...but I doubt it will last that long

*EDIT* The bitterness has subsided after bottling, and is much closer to the original DFH 60 than I thought.

Hmmmm...I'm currently enjoying one of these, and the bitterness is much less than I recall tasting out of the bucket. Honestly, I might even add a little more warrior at 60 to bitter it up even more. Not a perfect clone, but a very tasty beer all the same!

Just wondering...How do you continuously add 1 oz of hops over 30 minutes? One pellet at a time?

 

[mrphillips]

I added about 7 pellets every 5 minutes. If I did it again, I'd add .5 oz. at 60 and spread the rest out over 30 min.
