Any all-grain recipes for: Karl Strauss Tower 10 IPA?

[BKBrews]

Tried this beer about a month ago and absolutely loved it. Chock full of American hops (Chinook, Citra and Cascade apparently). Anyone tried to replicate this one?

I'm really liking Chinook as I get into this brewing stuff!

Perfect! Just so happens I have all of those grains on hand too - just need to purchase some more Chinook!

Cheers.

Tried the tower 10 last weekend, was great. I found it similar to hop hog.

I found it similar to hop hog.

Wow - I did not get that at all. I found it much more bitter. It has been a few years since I tried it though, maybe they have changed the recipe.

Tastebuds ..... maybe recipe, I really love this beer, have been trying to recreate for over a year. I add a bit (lot) of simcoe with the Chinook to get the pine, didn't find centennial had enough. Ever experimenting!!!

Haven't had it in bottle for 6 months and I bought a case last week and was gobsmaked at how "mild" it tasted, i thought recipe but couldn't find any reference in the states to a change.

I just think I've amped up my expectations of an IPA.

Whats the Hop equivalent of Chilli tolerance!?!

Good to hear that others like this beer as well.

I must admit, I've only really got into the hop heavy beers in the last 6 - 12 months, prior to that the craftiest beer I would have drank is probably a Stone and Wood. Opens your eyes to why people homebrew when you start getting the taste for the big hoppy beers!

I will be giving that Surf City IPA a try soon and will let you know how it compares.

The best thing about Tower IPA is the malt taste comes through, unlike most AIPA's where all that comes through is the hops.

"Lupulin threshold".

I've always found Tower 10 to be a fairly underwhelming beer personally, particularly compared to other beers from San Diego.

I had hop hog before the tower 10, that could have effected the way I tasted it. But yes it was more bitter but I found the hop flavour very similar

Bottled this recipe the other day,was so good out of the fermentor I poured myself a glass of it while bottling.
