Hi there,
Sorry for being lame and never following up! So Stone was super-awesome and did respond to me:
"Go really easy on your bittering hops, do a first-wort hopping with a little Chinook, create a massive whirpool addition of aroma hops, and dont DH for too long (max 5 days). We used our house yeast on that one, however a great alternative to our house yeast for this particular beer would be WLP090, San Diego Super yeast. Its not what we use in the brewery, but its definitely what I would personally use if I was brewing it. The yeast closest to our house strain is WLP007 Dry English Ale yeast, however our version of that strain has better attenuation and flocculation. WLP090 would dry it out considerably, and its usually what we recommend for Enjoy-By clone recipes as well. For the malt bill, use Pale, Pilsner, Biscuit, and dextrose. I would play down the biscuit, its mostly just there for a little bit of breadiness. If you happen to use Beersmith, these notes should give you a good idea of where to aim. 8.8% ABV, SRM of around 8-10, and 85 IBUs. The trick here is just to focus on a massive bombardment of Whirpool and Dry Hop additions."
My grain bill was:
9 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 3 60.0 %
3 lbs 8.0 oz Pilsner (2 Row) UK (1.0 SRM) Grain 4 23.3 %
2 lbs Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) Grain
8 oz. table sugar.
Mashed at 152-153, 60min boil with whirfloc. Used 1oz. Chinook and 1 oz. Simcoe as first-wort hops. Whirlpooled with 2 oz HBC-342 pellets, 4 oz. Azacca flowers, 4oz. belma pellets all together for about 15 minutes. Cooled with immersion cooler. Got roughly 6G of 1.056 wort. Pitched San Diego Super Yeast (no starter). Gravity down to 1.010 at day 5, so then dry hopped for 5 days with 2 oz. HBC342, 4 oz. azacca flowers, and 4 oz. belma pellets using paint bag. Primed with 4.16 oz. of table sugar in 50 bottle equivalent for 2.6 ppm CO2.
I ended up with a nice, clear, dry, delicious beer that was very reminiscent of Unapologetic, but it was definitely not spot-on. The Belma/Azacca character was there, but if I made it again I might tone down both Belma/Azacca and use more HBC-342. I think it could use some more traditional hop bitterness as well, so maybe I'd add more hops as first-wort or at the beginning of the boil.
Hope that helps! I really loved Unapologetic and was so grateful to Stone for being so forthcoming with their info.
