Notes: Specifications: (from the original 5.5 gal recipe)

Yield: 5.5 U.S gallons (20.82 L)
Original Gravity: 1.059 (14.5° P)*
Final Gravity: 1.006 (1.5° P)
ABV: 8.5 , IBU: 30 , SRM: 3 , Boil Time: 60 minutes, Efficiency: 75%

Directions: (from the original 5.5 gal recipe)

*Note on the Original Gravity: 1.059 (14.5° P) with kettle addition of sugar, 1.066 (16.25° P) with primary addition of sugar, 1.070 (17° P) with priming sugar. Using reverse osmosis water treated with 1 gram calcium sulfate per gallon (0.26 g/liter), mash grains at 147° F (64° C) for 60 minutes. Raise to 151° F (66° C) and hold another 30 minutes. Mash out at 168° F (76° C) for 10 minutes. Collect wort and boil for 60 minutes, adding 1 lb. dextrose to kettle for 15 minutes before knockout. Chill to 64° F (18° C) and oxygenate wort. Pitch active yeast starter. A day after high kräusen is reached (usually 3 to 4 days from pitching) add 12 oz (340 g) dextrose to just enough water to dissolve. Boil the solution 10 minutes, cool briefly and add it directly to primary. Allow primary temperature to rise from 64° F to 78°F (26° C), applying heat if necessary. When final gravity is reached, usually after about 8 days, add (or rack onto) gelatin fining solution and crash to 32° F (0° C). Hold at this temperature for 21 days. Rack clear beer and blend thoroughly with a solution of 8 oz (227 g) dextrose and a dose of fresh yeast (an active starter of the Belgian Golden strain, or properly rehydrated Champagne dry yeast). Bottle in sturdy brown bottles. Keep bottles at 75° F (24° C) for two weeks to allow for carbonation. Chill a bottle and verify carbonation has reached around 4 volumes. If this is the case, cold-store remaining bottles for six weeks at 40° F (4° C) to allow beer to smooth out and mellow.

EDIT:
Adjusted grain bill for reduced brewhouse efficiency of 70%.

Notes: An attempt at a NEIPA with appropriate strong HOP flavours that give this beer another name of HOPPY. Hoppy is a three legged dog - hence the name. This is using the new Bru-1 hops

Notes: FATHEADS SON OF BREWZILLA 2017 (Bronze - Altbiers & Weissbiers):
35.5/50
AROMA (9/12): Chocolate, plum, and vanilla notes. Some light banana notes. Very complex and inviting. No hops, diacetyl, DMS or acetaldehyde; Moderate plum, raisin, and fig aromas from the malt combined with low banana & clove yeast aroma to create a complex & inviting aroma. Hop aroma is absent. No off aromas noted.

APPEARANCE (2.5/3): Dark brown with medium tan head. Creamy with great retention, moderate haze; This beer pours a deep copper, nearly mahogany with a huge mousse light tan head which lasts forever. Very hazy which is ok for the style

FLAVOR (13.5/20): Nice (maybe too high?) chocolatey up front. Moderate wheat bread. Low but balanced banana/clove. More vanilla than clove. Quite complex. Nice dry clean finish; Banana & clove are moderate, a bit more prominent than in the aroma. Dark fruit & deep tastiness from malts are medium-high, but carry a solvent alcohol note with them. Hop flavor is absent and bitterness is low, yielding a sweet impression in the finish which is slightly dry. Balance is firmly malty

MOUTHFEEL (3.5/5): Heavy body with foamy carbonation. Moderate warming. Noticeable but low alcohol bite. Finishes dry; Body is medium with high carbonation. Creaminess is very slight - could be more. Warmth is low despite obvious alcohol content. No astringency

OVERALL IMPRESSION (7/10): Excellent dark version of style. A bit heavy on chocolate. Stronger yeast flavors would increase the score (banana & clove). Alcohol could be a little better hidden. Try fermenting a little lower. Overall very complex and enjoyable; Very nice beer. Rich & malty with an ester profile that gives it a wonderful complexity. There's a definite solventy note with flavor though, which is obviously from yeast stress. Use a starter, oxygenate, and pitch at least 0.75 million cells/*P/ml wort for a beer this big

MY THOUGHTS: Pitch 1 mil/*P/ml wort at 62*, don't seal lid. Let rise to 68 after a day, and let finish at 72* after 3 days. Eliminate brown malt and increase Chocolate wheat to .75 lb

Notes: Finished at 1.074 @ 75 degf
Brix @ 18.3
Wlp001 Cali ale in 1st ferment
Wlp008 East coast in 2nd
Mashed in @ 164
Mash dropped to 150, had to increase heat for 5 min

Bottled. East coast 1.020
Cali 1.014

5/8/16 tasting notes: East Coast a bit more funky than Cali. Boozy, syrupy, lots of caramel. Will come together better with age. Possibly a stronger hop presence would balance the sweetness.
Probably could let the east coast ferment a little further.
