An attempt at this awesome double IPA by Pipeworks out of Chicago. Add dextrose to runoff before boil. After fermentation activity subsides, rack to secondary and add the 1.5 oz of Simcoe and 1.5 oz of Centennial on TOP of the racked beer. Age 7 days. Then gently give the carboy a little swirl to bring some of the settled hops back into suspension. Add the last 0.5 oz of Simcoe and 0.5 oz of Centennial to the top of the secondary. Age five more days then bottle or keg. I use the acidulated malt because I've analyzed my water and determined it's needed. If you haven't checked your water then there is no point in using it unless you're on Lake Michigan water around Chicago. I used Omega West Coast Ale OYL-004 instead of White Labs. Either way, make sure to get a good starter going for the liquid yeast and also pitch the Safale on top last thing.
Brewed 11 April. Bottled 4 May. It took a bit longer to carb up than normal. Almost 5 weeks. (bc of the alcohol content?) I'm very happy with the results. I don't think I'll be modifying the recipe any more. I liked it even better than NVU. Probably because it's fresher. The younger a DIPA, the better.

Hello. Couple questions. How much water would you start with if you did this with the BIAB method?

Sorry, not sure because I've never done BIAB. I jumped straight into all grain. I would think there's some instructions online for converting recipes somewhere.

If I were to half this recipe, what factors would I need to take into consideration?

Sorry for all the questions. Also, did you use a yeast starter? If so, what size? Thanks again.
