DIY Dog - recipes for every brewdog beer ever made

[Exile]

a1brit from reddit has converted them all to beerxml file so they can be imported into beersmith or your app/website of choice.

There is an all.xml with all 215 in for easy bulk import or individual recipes. They mostly stick to beerxml rules, and work well in brewtoad.com at least. The plain text version of the pdf pages are also in folder in there. You can see the **** show of bizarre formatting/typos etc. I had to deal with.
BeerSmith doesn't recognise dry hopping in .xml files. Even their own, so sorry the IBU will be way off initially. I defaulted to a 7 day dry hop, but it's an easy couple clicks go fix.
I tried to match up malts, and hops with some data I pulled from various sources. It may not be correct for specialty stuff. It'll just have found the closest word and used the values there.

All are done and available in here: Also included are the 2 python scripts I used. And in plain_text/ a .txt version of each recipe. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w82kw6i5bgaa1lr/AAA21F7ROuz7snkP8qq9L8bCa

Wow! What a great thing to do! Good on them!

I have been leaning towards re-entering home brewing the last few month. Even have my cart full on CBer, just haven't finished catching up on the home brew scene etc as much as I would have liked.

After seeing 5am Saint and Zeitgeist on there, I am going to get back in!

Amazing stuff by Brewdog. Can someone point me to a few of their best known beers as I need to find a starting point?!?!

Punk IPA is the obvious one. It's a belter of a beer. 5AM Saint and Dead Pony Club are two others that are very popular Brew Dog beers.

I'm thinking some of the hop schedules have typos!!! As some of the recipies have aditions of 2.5g, 3g etc. Like page 180? Maybe that should be 25g of ella not 2.5?

I think some of the everything has typos.

#58 Imperial Pilsner with a FG of 1027 ? Mmmm, chewy. I'd be upset if a big RIS finished that high !

 

[Alex.Tas]

#36 black dog - hoppy black what stout
58% pale malt
15.7% caramalt (is this just light crystal?)
8.8% wheat malt
7.8% crystal 150
5.3% chocolate malt
4.3% roasted barley

~22% crystal seems a wee bit much.
the recipe calls for 1.12kg of caramalt, if this were adjusted to 0.12kg then the % caramalt drops back to 2% +9% crystal 150.

Colour estimates seem a little out of whack too. Brewdog estimate 230 EBC. my beersmith is telling me 73. much of a muchness though, once its 75+ its pretty much not getting any blacker.

Question is, do you reckon the 1.12kg of caramalt should be 0.12?

 

[GABBA110360]

awesome info thanks for sharing

 

[Tahoose]

Caramalt is definitely not crystal.

 

[jibba02]

Caramalt is definitely not crystal.

They are one in the same. Crystal is roasted for a longer period and or higher temperature

 

[Blind Dog]

Caramalt is just crystal. Thomas Fawcett use it as a a name for a light 30ish ebc crystal, Simpsons seems to be the same and Bairds use the term it on their site interchangably with crystal malt. I've used TF and Simpsons, but only to the normal 5% ish mark in bitters. Maybe the roasted grains offset the sweetness from the caramalt?

Sarah Hughes dark ruby mild supposedly uses 25% or so crystal malt and that's a freaking awesome beer (my attempts to make it, not so much, but hope springs eternal).

Only one way to find out if the recipe is right or wrong...

Hoppy Christmas also listed best IPA to come from BD for a Simcoe IPA it is brilliant..

 

[Tahoose]

Caramalt is definitely not crystal.

Excuse my ignorance I thought is was completely different. Must be confused with something else,

 

[Engibeer]

I brewed #120 Electric India last week. First brew on my new (second hand Gen II) 50L Braumeister.

I'm away at work but it should be sitting finished in my brewbucket.

Can't wait to see how it turned out.

The Guardian has published quite a long piece giving the back story to the Brew Dog brewers.

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/24/the-aggressive-outrageous-infuriating-and-ingenious-rise-of-brewdog

Worth a read this long weekend, as much for the insight into the weird and wacky world of Brew Dog as it is to discover a good piece of feature writing on the history and possible destiny of the beer industry.

 

[colvs]

Just having a good look at this as I really want to brew #31 'Bashah'. Shows a mash time of 175 minutes at 65 degrees. Surely a typo? Could it be meant to be 75 Minutes?

 

[Fents]

alot of their other recipes are 75mins so thats what i would be running with....^^

Turns out they're releasing a new version of it:

A few weeks ago, we unveiled DIY Dog, whereby we made available the full, detailed recipes and back stories behind every BrewDog beer ever made, stretching from the first ever brew of Punk IPA, to the most recent addition to our range of Headliners, Jet Black Heart, and everything in between.

Today, DIY Dog is getting revamped as we launch
DIY Dog v2.0 releasing the recipes of all our 2016 brews - including every beer we are yet to launch!

Now you can drink our beer before we do!

Download is from the same place as the original

 

[mstrelan]

They've fixed up some issues in the previous version, such as the hop quantities in 10 Heads High.

 

[seehuusen]

I brewed up Hoppy Christmas on the weekend, had to do a fair bit of tweaking to get the right numbers at the end (during planning, in brewsmith). Colour was completely wrong, following their guide.

Looking forward to trying it when it is ready

 

[peteru]

whose up to try the 'Fake Fix Double IPA'
theoretical 198 IBU in a 3.5% ABV beer

That recipe has certainly caught my eye. I can't get enough hop. Shark Pants from De Struise / Three Floyds (at 300+ IBU) is up there for me as one of the best things I have ever had. This recipe seems to be right up my alley, loads of hop and low alcohol level to be able to guzzle it. Unfortunately, given the current schedule, it's going to be at least another 2-3 months before I can have a go at it.

I'd be very much interested in hearing how it goes for anyone else attempting this one...

 

[GrumpyPaul]

I have just kegged a version based on #208 "Albino Squid Assasin" and it tastes pretty good.

Mind you I really only stuck to the malt bill.
I change the hops to use what I had - so in instead of magnum, chinook and citra I used galaxy, simcoe and falconers flight.
For yeast I grabbed what I could that suited at my lhbs so instead of Wyeast 1056 I used Mangrove Jack M44.

I like to think unless youve had the original an really really want a fair dinkum clone - you can still use these (and any other) recipes to create something "inspired by" or "based on" the original.

At the end of the day I made beer...good beer. With a bit of guidance for Brewdog.

 

[Alex.Tas]

If anyone was wondering if the hoppy black wheat stout has too much crystal malt in it, i sent Brewdog an email and they responded in a couple of days.
"I've double checked and the levels are correct. Those level of cara and crystal malt are needed to balance the bitterness." so the 1.12kg + 0.56kg of crystal isn't a miss print
Pretty good of them to respond to no doubt the vast number of emails they would have been getting.
Good of them too, in light of the fact that i was sending all their equity for dogs emails to my junk folder...

hope this helps someone if they are looking for an answer to this and don't want to risk 300g of hops and a brew day on a beer that could taste like cough syrup.

 

[A.B.]

I found them really quick to answer a question I had on mash-out steps since there werent any in their recipes, less than a day later they said use whatever mash-out step I'm used to...so I'm going to try a few of their recipes as a base with a grainfather and just mash-out how the GF says to...

 

[Hpal]

I've done the #215 Jet Black Heart and it turned out great. A sessionable black beer, not too sweet, nice amount of bitterness, and great roasty coffee aromas.

So I've formulated a version of 'The Physics' based on my system and what ingredients I anticipate the new Country Brewer store that's just opened near me will have in stock. I basically entered the ingredients as is, then adjusted so the stats lined up with what BrewDog had listed.

No Bramling Cross on the CB website, so I've subbed it with Goldings. Also, gone with CaraAfa I instead of Dark Crystal 350 and CaraAroma in place of Crystal 120. Finally, I have some harvested US05 in the keg fridge, which I understand is the same strain as 1056. Hopefully get ingredients on Sat morning and brew Sat night.

*edit: 10 min addition will be flameout, as I wait 10 min for everything to settle down after flameout, and 0 min additions are cube hops.

. Also, gone with CaraAfa I instead of Dark Crystal 350 and CaraAroma in place of Crystal 120.

Carafa is a roasted grain and will produce very different flavours to a crystal malt at 10%, even a dark crystal IMO. Using a roasted grain at 10% in an american amber is way out of style again IMO.

I am worried about using that much CaraAfa, but couldn't find any Crystal that dark. Not to worried about ticking all the style boxes. I entered the style as American Amber as that was as good a fit I could find for this beer, even though the BrewDog stats don't fit an American Amber.

 

[timmi9191]

just checked the CB site, have a look at the caramunich 1,2 & 3, Im a big fan and like using them in combination as each level of toasting produces different flavor profiles. I also see that CB has special B, which is a very dark crystal used alot in Belgium beers and produces some dark plum flavours. Use a combination of special B and the caramunichs to hit your color and flavour targets would be the go IMO
