Notes

HUB = Hopworks Urban Brewery, in Portland, OR.

Had a pint of this with dinner tonight, always loved it, now will finally attempt to brew it!

Found the recipe by an alleged HUB brewer on HBT, who has only 1 post on HBT:
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/possible-recipe-hopworks-ipa-clone-217769/

The website says it also has Ahtanum, not Amarillo:
http://hopworksbeer.com/organic-beer/hopworks-ipa

Added carapils, wheat, and melanoidin - these work out pretty well in IPAs for home brewers in terms of head retention and body.

Increased the dry hopping by 2x. Going with Amarillo and Ahtanum. The original is supposed to be 75 IBU and the magnum is adjusted to hit that.

Yeast is a guess, based on a rumor I heard from one of the employees at my LHBS. It actually correlates with Ninkasi's Total Domination - the flavor profile is similar and I've used 1968 in my Total Domination clone and it comes out good. Clean profile desired, so shooting for the lower end of the temp range.

This is just a starting point, could take a few batches to dial it in. I swear I could taste some Simcoe?

This also calls for 'organic' ingredients, which I probably won't be able to get in terms of hops, I will try for organic pilsner at my LHBS.
