Important Notes for this Recipe

  • Don't worry too much about the hop varieties but please use American ones, not British. Use the Summit from Two Blokes wherever you want. The LCL recommendation is to use high Alpha % varieties to target 100+ IBUs in the early (first wort, 60, 15 min) additions. Then use the provided weights in the late additions (1 min and dry hop).
  • Don't sweat the fractions of ounces, just round up or down as you see fit! Don't dry hop before the barrel. Save them for after.
  • Feel free to sub out a portion of the base malt with DME in the kettle if your mashton isn't big enough. 2.5 lb dry extract is about 3.5 lb of base malt. 
  • To quote David, "use a poopton of yeast". This equates to 1.5M cells/mL/degP. Set the 'Fermentation Type' to Lager when you calculate how much yeast you need on Mr. Malty. Even though this is an Ale, you need a lager-like amount of yeast aka a poopton. If you have a smaller beer on hand when you brew, that could be a good opportunity to repitch.
