Elvis Was Here

The goal for this brew is to create a copycat Elvis Juice (Brewdog, Ellon, Scotland, UK), or at the very least, a medium ABV American IPA with heavy citrus notes, both in flavor and aroma. We will follow the Elvis Juice recipe from DIY Dog as close as we can but we’ll leave out the fruit/peel additions (to highlight the hop flavors/aromas on their own) and do partial mash instead of full grain because we don’t have a large enough mashing vessel. The switch to partial mash means that some of the grain in the original recipe will be replaced with a light malt extract. Assuming the malt extract is part of the base malts (Pale 2-row), we will use the same mass percentage of caramalt as the DIY dog recipe calls for (~16%). Hop schedule will be about the same as DIY dog - though they don't provide a fermentation timeline, we'll wait for fermentation to subside before dry hopping for 5 days. We'll also use Fermentis US-05 yeast instead of the WYeast 1056 (they're the same strain, 05 is just dry version), and directly pitch the yeast from the pack into the carboy, no starter.
