This has been by far the best beer I have ever made.

Looks good!

by BitterPUNK

Just 1 question... You dry hop this beer for 0 days?

Going to try this one this weekend

by flutch

I will update you with my thought and will rate it at that time

Awesome

by tx_brewer

One of the best IPA\'s ive ever made. Will definitely brew again. Love this beer.

by TheHopfather

Gotta love Centennial hops!

by bellytank

I have never dry hopped before, so can someone go into detail for me.
Do you dry hop for 14 days?
Do I add the hops to the primary fermenter, if so how do you transfer them to
the secondary fermenter?
thanks

by baddaddy

Made this 3 times. Very easy and straightforward. Love this beer. Can\'t buy it in New England. Just kegged 22 gal.

Highly recommended

by BeerSmith

A great IPA

Dry Hopping

by Maltmaster

Belly tank - as for dry hopping, I would do it in the secondary after fermentation has slowed down some. As for the time limit I believe it was an article in Zymurgy that said you don\'t want to dry hop for more than 14 days or you will start to get some astringent and grassy notes into the beer (unless that is what you want - but not for this recipe).

by gevans73

Going to brew this weekend and then will rate it better. However, will be brewing as a steep/extract. Any suggestions for that conversion?

by Toy4Rick

Halfway through this recipe, my first IPA and I really love it.

Simply amazing

Smooth IPA

by ottman

Nice and smooth for an IPA, yet great dry hop flavor. Thanks for sharing!

In My Top Four!

by tahoeguy

Just perfect! Hmmm, this is my kind of beer!

Awesome, to be brewed again

by jfrollup

Excellent beer without even dry hopping! Very impressed with the taste! From what I can remember, this is close to the Bell\'s.

excellent beer

by volkvanmyn25

I haven\'t tasted the real one yet, but the clone was fantastic. I will definitly brew this one again.

Dry Hopping advice

by PhelanKA7

I\'ve had the most success Dry-Hopping for 48 hours at normal fermentation temps once the fermentation has slowed significantly. Then I do a cold crash for 48 hours to settle the hop material to the bottom of the fermentation vessel. According to a research group in Oregon 48 hours is the top of a Bell curve where you get the most useful hop utilization in a dry hopping situation. However, the researchers were also using an agitator in their fermentation vessel so that is why I do a total of 4 days (48h normal temp/48h cold crash).

Hope this helps.

Delicious!

by Klimekid

My first homebrew, and I\'m glad this was my first choice. This was excellent and now I\'m wishing I had brewed more. The only thing I did different was up my CO2 psi to bring the carb level to within recommended range for IPAs.

Awesome

by Brewskie

This was my first all grain beer I made and wow. Turned out perfect. Super hoppy and delicious. Dry hopped 1oz each cascade and centennial 3 days before racking into keg. ABV is up there so be careful. Had a headache the day after the super bowl :)

I ended up using US-05 yeast instead of the one in the recipe. I have ambient fermentation temperature ~57*F

a well balanced beer

by hipHopopotamus

I rarely say it but I think I will brew this one again, thanks jj. I really like the Denny\'s fav 50, was able to stir plate it up for four batches, this, another ipa and two reds. Seems to be great, maybe a pale next.

clone!?

by mkringii

have to drop the cascade if you want to truly call this a clone.. i havent made "this" recipe and judging by the reviews i would say its awesome.. but two hearted is centennial ONLY grain bill is spot on though

my first all grain

by Harlenator

I chose this as my first all grain, I LOVE IT! I\'ve shared this with friends and they cant believe it is home made. I had a few mishaps with the brewing process but got there eventually. SG\'s were spot on.

Awesome beer (small sub in)

by DevonPriemus

Just made this, used Munich instead of vienna and subbed in US-05 (just brewing with what I had), absolute gold. One of the best beers i\'ve tasted.

by tobz1

subbed US-05. fantastic beer

Awesome Sauce

by mission42

This recipe needs to change its name to Awesome Sauce. best beer i\'ve ever made.

Excellent recipe

by dotphil

First batch on our new hardware and it turned out GREAT. Denny\'s Favorite 50 wasn\'t available at our local store so we used Wyeast 1056 - American Ale with good results. Dry Hopping in secondary was also extended to 20 days resulting in a bit of astringency.

Nice thick head and good lacing. Nose builds up around floral and citrus notes. Taste is well balanced between malt sweetness and hops citrus flavors. Finish is all about bitterness. In our case astringency from the dry hopping and a bit of remaining sugar.

We will definitely brew again.
