Chillwave DIPA Clone - Great Lakes Brewing Co.

Clone of Great Lakes Chillwave Double IPA - one of my favorite beers. This beer features Mosaic hop flavor and aroma and a noticeably sweet, honey-like maltiness with light caramel and bread notes. At 80 IBU, this DIPA is balanced but still leans towards the sweet side. The honey sweetness and overall maltiness compliment and highlight the high amount of tropical, fruity Mosaic hop flavor.

It is easy to want to hold back on the honey malt but others who have tried to clone Chillwave say that their attempt isn't malty enough. I believe the maltiness probably comes from the use of honey malt and GLBC's proprietary yeast strain which give their beers a unifying maltiness relative to the styles they brew. I will go with Wyeast 1007 for this purpose but use a malt-forward yeast that you have experience fully attenuating with. Notably, GLBC excels in brewing German-style lagers and maltier ales.

The fact sheet on GLBC's website lists the ingredients but not the quantities. I assume they list the ingredients in traditional descending order of quantity:
Malts: 2-Row Base Malt, Caramel 45, Honey
Hops: Mosaic, Nugget, Cascade
Flavor: "Glide across waves of tropical
Mosaic hops and sweet honey malt."
ABV: 9%
IBU: 80

The beer seems to be in the SRM 10 range so I used that for my caramel 45 and honey malt quantities.

As a fan of GLBC, I speak from first-hand experience drinking Chillwave and all other GLBC distributed beer. Cheers!
