Milkshake DIPA (with DME)

Notes
3L yeast starter required with one vial of yeast
The Hops can be of any available aroma hop. We can go with 1 or many varieties depending on what's available. The bittering hop just needs to hit around 20IBUs. Hop oil could be used for the bittering.

Batch 1

Description - This beer is based upon a New England Style DIPA with a twist of fruit, lactose, and vanilla in order to add the perception of a fruited milkshake. The hops and fruit should compliment one another and create complex synergistic flavors. The fruit will be added after primary fermentation starts. Roughly 3-5 days in to fermentation while the yeast is still active but settling down. Once the fruit begins actively fermenting we will add first round of dry hops. Second round will be added when at or near final gravity. Roughly 4-5 days for each round of dry hopping. The vanilla beans are split and scraped and soaked in vodka then added during dry hop 2 or with the fruit. *optional The green apples are added near the end of boil and introduce pectins for a perma-pectin haze ;) (about 1 green apple per gallon).


2nd Batch

Description - This New England Style DIPA will use the same grain bill and hopping additions as the milkshake style DIPA but without the extra ingredients of fruit, lactose, and vanilla in order to create a comparison study between the two styles. DH1 will be added after primary fermentation peaks about 3 days in. DH2 will be added when at or near final gravity. Roughly 4-5 days for each round of dry hopping.
