60 Hop Additions!

[huscre]

Hey all,

The Dog Fish Head 60 Minute IPA recipe can be found in the book "Extreme Brewing" (written by the guy who runs dogfishhead i think).
It's a great book with some very interesting recipes, and loads of really good photography of beers and the like. Best beer book I've ever read.

I just made a batch of 60 Minute IPA and kegged it. The base was Warrior Hops (~15%AA) with some simcoe, amarillo...
I don't remember the rest off the top of my head.. Something like ~160g of hops, perhaps more, loads of dry hopping into secondary as well. The ingredients costed $100 from craftbrewer including postage.

As for the beer, it's certainly very hoppy. Have you ever tried eating a hop pellt just for fun? Well that's what the beer tastes like to me.
I was hoping it would be more like a James Squire IPA but with more balls. Unfortunately I can't find much similarity.

It would be nice if I could buy some of the real 60 Minute IPA to see how close I got.

Not a very sessionable beer. I think I'm gonna OD on hops... :huh:

Seeing we are on the topic of super crazy hopped beers...

I was thinking of doing an APA with Chinook for bittering then Cascade and D Saaz for flavour and a big whack of Galaxy dry hopped for aroma

How does this sound?

$100? For a double batch or what?

After reading that you were expecting it to be more like a james squire IPA but with balls...i knew you would be sadly mistaken. The JS IPA imo is more of a true IPA in the sense it is british with british hops...can't you taste the yucky fuggles in there? The Dogfishhead IPA is, well, american...and should taste more like hop juice, dry hopped and then some...

It is on my to brew list...but quite low on the ladder.

Cheers

Single batch unfortunately.. Though I did have quite a few leftovers since I had to get the hops in 100g packs.

Hop Juice is a good description... My 60 Minute IPA even has a green tinge! The malt character is all but drowned out by the hoppy hoppy hoppiness. Keeps a sturdy head though.

I have done the 60min IPA clone recipe from my book of 150 classic clone recipes by Brew Your Own magazine.
It is a fantastic beer, great flavour, both malt and hop and great aroma. This one is one of my favourites and will be trying the 90min IPA recipe in my book next.

The ingredients listed are;

5.86kg - 2 row pale
0.18kg - Amber
20g - Warrior (60-35min) 11.2AAU
7.9g - Simcoe (35-25min) 3.6AAU
20g - Palisade (25-0) 5.6 AAU
20g - Palisade (Whirllpool)
17g - Amarillo (dry)
17g - Simcoe (dry)
17g - Glacier (dry)
Wyeast 1187 Ringwood

Make the hop additions as continuous as you can by small amounts often over the addtition period of each hop addition.

Mash @ 67C
Ferment @ 22C rising to 23C
Dry hop for 2 weeks

Insipred by Pollux's post a while back, I recently did a hop-blend with 5-minute intervals. Seven varieties. Turned out very tasty, not too big on the bittering but a realy unique taste.

Anyone doing something like this might want to consider that instead of having to measure out many many additions (in my case it would have been 7 hops x 7 additions + bittering= 50 measures! :huh: ) I simply works out my weights, combined them all together, then worked out the average AA% of the final blend to calculate the likely IBU impact and ground them all up, and measured the portions of the combined blend. It was along these lines:

POR @ 60 then:

Total of 100g Hop Blend 8.2%AA (average)----- 8.4g additions of blend @ 30,25,20,15,10,5,0

Containing:

1 part 10g AA 4.4 Fuggles
1 part 10g AA 6.3 Cascade
1 part 10g AA 8.4 Amarillo
1 part 10g AA 11.5 Nelson Sauvin
1 part 10g AA 11.0 POR
2 part 20g AA 2.4 Czech Saaz
3 part 30g AA 3.5 Hersbrucker

Note that I ramped up the quantity of the subtle hop flavours so they wouldn't get as buried under the big flavour hitters. Despite that, the NS still dominates, not hugely, but it did become the predominantly identifiable flavour.

It was boiled into a pale beer style, with some pilsener malt roasted for 20 minutes, a can of Cerveza, some crystal, an about 750g LDME.
