Batch 64, 90 minute IPA

This was supposed to be like Dogfish Head's 90 Minute IPA. I had a chance to visit their original brewpub in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware in the summer of 2008, and picked up a 4 pack. This is nothing like the DFH version, but really good, so good, in fact, that it won out in a club competition for IPAs.

This is a hard recipe, mostly because it requires multiple hops additions. It turns out to be a really good IPA.

10 gallon batch.

Grain:

23 lbs 2-row
2 oz chocolate malt

Hops:

This is the hard part.
1/4 oz Chinook
1/4 oz Cascade
1/4 oz Centennial
Add all of the above at 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, and 0 minutes. That is 11 additions of 3/4 oz hops.

Wyeast 1272

OG: 1.062
FG: 1.015
ABV: 6.2%
SRM: 10
IBU: 96

yeah, this is good.
