Last night, 12/19/2011 we brewed some Double Vision Parrot IPA however, this batch is the DIPA. And DIPA it is! This beer is extravagantly hopped over the top pushing the IBUs to a whopping 130.1! Can you say HOP HEADS? Instead of showing you pictures of the boil or mash, I decided to snap one of our messy garage brewery! Pictured is the DIPA during the boil and MOJO the Chocolate Lab watching our every move! Funny how he loves to crash next to a Keg. Don't be fooled, he always has one eye open making sure we are on our game! The gravity was a little less than last time. 1.058, Brix was 14.3! The beer may come out a little cloudy as we forgot the fining agent. Then again it may fall clear on it's own. This is a much anticipated batch. We used most of our Star B ranch hop stock for this batch! It should be ready for the tap on Feb 1, 2012! For all you Hop Heads, this is a good recipe to try even if you are substituting the whole hops for pellet hops. With an estimated 6.0ABV it should still pack a punch as you enjoy all that pure hoppiness! Be sure and check back after Feb 1, 12 for tasting notes! In the meantime, brew a batch of your own or just sit back, relax and crack a Home Brew! Cheers!
TASTING NOTES: We tapped this Beer on 2/3/12 a little bit early and it was so good we put it online! Extravagantly hopped with Cascade, Columbus, Centennial at 130 IBUs! A little cloudy but does not disappoint the hop heads! Starts out with a nice Citrusy flavor ending with a long lasting finish with a bit of an earthy undertone. This is by far our best beer yet! I would rate it a 7 out of 10! Cheers!
