Notes: Dry hop:
2oz Amarillo
2oz Simcoe
I like to split the additions in half over the 2 weeks
*Amber malt: Use Thomas Fawcett Amber Malt, don't just use any old amber malt. If you can't find Thomas Fawcett Amber, look harder. This is the exact malt DFH uses, and it's a distinctive flavor. It's available at quite a few online retailers if your LHBS doesn't carry it.
**Hopping: Mix all 5oz of hops together, how often you add them is up to you. Some people add a couple pellets every minute, others fill up 30 dixie cups, and add one cup per 3 minutes. Personally I do 10 additions, 0.5oz every 10 minutes, and it turns out excellent.
That's about it, it's actually a fairly easy beer to brew other than the continuous hoping. If you can't find WLP007, use WYeast 1098 - Dry Whitbread, or Safale S04. Definitely use WLP007 if it's available, the yeast character is dead on.
I just had a slightly tweaked version take 1st place for IIPAs in a competition. |

Notes: On the brew date, I sanitized an 8 oz mason jar and filled with freshly brewed (strong) coffee and refrigerated it. Added coffee to keg prior to adding beer.
I used the recipe from the Heretic Shallow Grave Porter, via Morebeer. I then made the coffee addition mentioned above to increase the coffee flavor. I have brewed this once before and it came out awesome. Heretic did a great job with the recipe. The coffee addition made it even better. This is a regular recipe for me! Strongly recommended. |

1 tsp whole nutmegs
1/8 tsp star ground anise
1/8 tsp star anise seeds
3 lb orange blossom honey
12 oz apple cider

4. Add 12 oz apple cider, 3 oz molasses, and 3 oz maple syrup
5. Add the juice of 2 cuties and peels without the pith.
6. Add 1/4 tsp DAP and 1/2 tsp of Fermaid K. (add these again at 2/3 (approx 1.08) & 1/3 (approx 1.04) sugar break.)
7. Add 1/2 tsp K2CO3. One time addition. Increased the amount to compensate for the acidity of the fruit juice.
8. Add spring water to a 1/2 cup shy of one gallon.
9. Add a slurry of Wyeast 1388 or WPL500 (if 1388 is not available)
Post Fermentation
1. Add one vanilla bean and age for 2-4 weeks or until desired vanilla flavor is reached.
2. Add 1tsp of rehydrated bentonite to clarify then cold crash for a week

Notes: Yeast
------------------------------------------
1. sediment from 2 longnecks, add together + 2inches of wort to bottle
24hrs @ 25c to reactivate yeast.
2. use to make 1L starter
24-36hrs @ 25c
Ferment
------------------------------------------
20c 3 days
23c 1 day (ensure full attenuation)
+2 days for acetaldehyde reabsorption
Never rack into secondary
bottle/keg after 6 days max in primary, or yeast count may drop below ideal for bottle/keg conditioning.
Priming sugar (+0.5% abv)
--------------------------
8g/bottle
10.5g/L
200g/19L keg
Coopers primes kegs with sugar.
Condition bottles or kegs at 20 °C
should be well carbonated within a week.
due to the absence of late hopping, it doesn't need time to mellow out like the hoppy pale ales often do.
However the beer will benefit from a few weeks maturation.
Alternative Mash
---------------------------
1.single infusion mash at 64–66c
2.step mash with a rest in the 60–63 °C range

Notes: This recipe is designed with the following targets in mind, given directly from the head brewer at Founders:
10% Carapils, 5% Munich, 5% crystal 60, 2.5% caramunich
16.5 Plato (1.068 SG)
65 IBU
Massive flavor strike and dry hopping (obviously Centennial)
In the end I think it comes pretty close and turns out to be a delicious brew! I'm using Magnum for the bittering given it's high alpha, it's usually my go-to bittering hop. But this could be done with exclusively Centennial (like Two Hearted) if that is preferred.
July 2022 note: ramped it up to 5 gallons |

Should lean toward dry, quaffable. Simple grist bill. Don't over complicate the grist bill.
Pitch yeast at 64F and ferment at 66F.
Secondary when yeast have completed 85% attenuation. Add dry hops, continue secondary until attenuated, about 4-5 days in secondary total.
Keg condition 1 week.
If bottling, condition 2-3 weeks. |
