Dry hopping tonight. 100g Amarillo. Tasting great so far and great colour.

PS by the way, Pete you were right. SG was 1.052 with this recipe. 1.050 after a 3L water addition.

So is anyone drinking this yet?

I'm having a go at it tomorrow but have changed the hops a bit to use up what I've already got in the freezer;
Columbis @60, Amarillo @10, Amarillo and Cascade @0, Amarillo dry.

Yeah I've got plenty of both, but the original only calls for Amarillo in the dry. Might calculate what I need for my next IPA and Epic PA clone and chuck what ever is left in this one.

I don't see why not.

I've brewed this a couple of times actually (had the original too). Great beer, so much flavour.

Here's an a idea for some variation - Most recently I split the batch 5 ways and used different dry hops at 2g/L - the rest of the recipe was more or less verbatim (crystal 80 and 120). For the dry hopping I used separately Rakau, Centennial, Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka and Pacific Jade. Nelson and Centennial were my favourites, both blended really well. Riwaka was also really nice - it was a bit more of a contrast but a really nice flavour - sort of reminds me of Emerson's Bookbinder in this case.

Nice work Reuben.
Had an empty keg to fill, so I brewed this onSaturday, 
Had to sub a couple of things, such as Caramunich for the Crystal 80 and Shepherds Delight for the Dark Crystal.
I also increase th hopping to more rounded amounts.
15g @60
30g @30

Been kegged for 4 days. Used 090 Yeast, and man its lovely, slightly thinner than I'd like, that'll be the american ale yeast, ratherthan the lower attenuating english strains. Should be good in another week or so.
