I'm looking to brew a bigger IPA for a guys weekend in about a month. Not too crazy on abv, maybe around 8%. Big 'ol late hops/dry hopping.

I just did the citra/amarillo combo in the sessions IPA. It was a good combo, but i want to try something different.

Make the Union Jack recipe.

Go classic and brew something like Pliny or Blind Pig.

I have posted Holiday Hug on here before, you had my version at Evil_Morty's. It does have Citra and Amarillo but also a few more varieties.

You're asking a lot of me to remember something that happened that long ago.  

 

Never had Blind Pig ( ).  It's a sad state.  

 

Holiday hug looks good.  I like the idea of Union Jack, too.

All are good beers!

How about my Nosferatu clone?  I posted the recipe earlier this year, and I posted a pic in the pint-picture thread.

 

Just sayin'.

So many to choose from...

Heady Topper inspired by beer?

If you like fruity, the Galaxy-Nelson IPA I kegged yesterday had the most amazing aroma I have ever smelled on a beer, no lie. Here's hoping the taste follows suit.

Columbus/Centennial is alwals solid

The galaxy/nelson combo spunds interesting, as i haven't used either one. I'll have to see what the LHBS has available, that might be the determining factor here.

For the record I am brewing Holiday Hug this weekend. I made it about a year ago now but had a couple substitutes. This time I have Simcoe so nothing will change. Well except the Mash hops, those shouldn't matter much.

 

My vote is for HH Jkor.

I have made it many times after posting with no mash hops and it is still great.  The mash hops were there that day and I wanted to use them up.

I noticed the Union Jack recipe has double dry hopping, half for 3 days then the second half for 3 days.  Does that really give you anything or is it more based on a process issue?  (I.e. FW couldn't fit that many dry hops in the tank.)

I've often wondered this myself.  I say if the conditions during both dry hops are similar do it all at once.  if one is during fermentation and the other post that could make a difference.  or 2 different temps.  or 2 different lengths of time, etc.

I have done it .. I am not sure what it adds to be honest.  My process is typically to dry hop in the primary towards the end of fermentation and then crash, move to a brite tank with the next dry hop charge and biofine.  Once that is done I move it to a serving keg.

I never realized you biofined and dry hopped at the same time. I always thought you were dry hopping and then fining. That may be why you don't get the drop off in flavor after fining.

Yup, all one step for me.
