Fermenting an IPA with Wyeast 3787

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

I just rack a belgian tripel off of the yeast cake and I'm probably going to brew a chocolate DIPA on Friday. I am thinking about dumping the DIPA on the Wyeast 3787 yeast cake. OK I just opened it up for calling me crazy.

A chocolate...Double IPA...on Belgian yeast?

Clint that beer sounds like my nightmare lol but I can't wait to hear how it goes and what you think of it

I'm not sold on doing it just thought about it.

Triple dry hop that thing!

Well I'm doing it. A different recipe eliminating the chocolate. I will be using about 8 oz of hops total. We'll see if I can live up to my screen name.

I see nothing wrong with using that other that the chocolate.
I think the fruity characteristics would work well in an IPA especially if most of the hops are on the cold side.
It'll make beer!
Let us know how it turns out.
Cheers,

Belgian IPA is a thing. I have tasted some good ones. Go for it.

I'm saving the cocoa for another recipe. Brewing it tonight. Going with Aramis, Mittlefruh and a bit of lemon drop hops. Major percent dry hop.

Well I changed the final recipe. I swapped out the dry hops from Mittlerfruh and used Barbe Rouge. It is ready for the 3rd dry hop charge. The OG was 1.070 and it is now at 1.008. I did not expect this.

Wowie that's some extraordinary attenuation !

I may have over pitched the yeast. It should be ready to keg on Friday.
