Recipe By Chris Reich 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb 20L Crystal
• 1 lb 2-Row Pale Malt
• 8 oz Victory Malt
• 9 lbs light DME
• 5 oz Columbus (Bittering 90 min.)
• 2 oz Kent Goldings (Flavor 15 min.)
• 1 oz Kent Goldings (Aroma 2 min)
• 1 oz Cascade Pellet (Dry hop secondary Fermenter)
• 5 oz corn sugar (Priming Sugar Bottling)
• 1 tsp Irish moss (15 min) (Optional: Sold Separately)
• Safale US-05 (x2)

DIRECTIONS

Crush all grains and put into grain bags. Put in pot with 2 gal of cold water. Slowly bring water to @160 degrees and let steep for 20-30 min. Remove grains and sparge with 2-gals warm water. Bring to boil. Then remove pot from heat and add all malt extracts. Put back on heat and bring to boil. When boiling, follow hop schedule. Transfer hot wort into primary and top off with cold water to bring volume to 5-gal. Cool to 70 degrees. Pitch yeast and mix well. Ferment in primary for 7-10 days and transfer to 5-gal glass carboy. Add dry hops and top off carboy to 5 gal and let sit for about a month and when beer is clear bottle with priming sugar and let sit for at least 1 month. Enjoy!

EXTRA NOTES

If your equipment allows you to do a full boil, do so. This will give you a fuller hop flavor and aroma quality. When you are dry hopping? do not fill the carboy up to the top because the hops will absorb beer and expand. Leave about three to four inches below the bung or carboy cap.

Sanitizer and Spray Bottle

Good sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your Double I.P.A. 99' Recipe beer kit. A great practice for extra protection is to have a spray bottle filled with sanitizing solution so you can re-sanitize everything that touches or goes near your beer. Sanitation is much more difficult with beer than wine because beer has a higher pH. Wine's high acidity makes bacterial infection less likely but with beer, one small mishap can cost you your batch. 

Bottles

When your Double I.P.A. 99' Recipe is done, you will need bottles. This standard 12 ounce bottle is a good choice. You will need 54 for a 5 gallon batch. Bottles do not come with caps.

Carboys   

The 5 gallon carboy pictured here is the standard size for any beer kit. If you have never worked with a carboy, it is important to know they should not be moved full without a carboy handle or a carrier. 

Brew Pots

The pot pictured is an 8 gallon pot that is perfect for any beer kit or a standard 5 gallon batch. 

Wort Chillers and Thermometers

Wort Chillers and Thermometers are long term investments. It is important to chill your Double I.P.A. 99' Recipe wort quickly. The quicker you chill it the stronger the cold break will be. You also need a good thermometer that reads fast temperature fluctuations.  

Siphons

Auto-siphons are a great luxury item to have in your brew equipment. Once you have one you will never go without it again. Don't forget to use a heavy duty sanitizer to clean it since you don't want to replace it as often as hoses. A good sanitizer for that job is Five Star San. 

Fermenters

The fermenter pictured here is standard for a 5 gallon beer kit.

Hoses

 Many people reuse their hoses for far too long. Replacing your hoses often or even using as single use items is highly recommended with beer making. Hoses are very hard to clean and beer is very susceptible to bacterial infection. You do not want to risk losing your Double I.P.A. 99' Recipe over a few feet of unsanitary hose. 

Funnels

Pouring your wort into a carboy can be tricky. Use a big funnel made just for the job. They even have different mesh screens to remove particles. 

Airlocks

It is recommended to replace airlocks often. Because they never physically touch the beer, the sanitation risk is too often overlooked. Bacteria can spread without physical contact in a closed environment and plastic stubbornly harbors bacteria.   

Stoppers and Bungs 

Bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced. They can dry out and harbor bacteria. 

 Carboy Brush

Keeping your carboy clean before and after use is key to avoid bacterial infection in your beer. A carboy brush is a great tool to get into those nooks and crannies. 

Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer

Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer is a convenient way of cleaning your bottles and/or carboys.  This high quality tool will come in handy.  Hooks up straight to your faucet with the bottle washer adapter (#4804) and puts out plenty of pressure to clean those stubborn stains from beer bottles that have been sitting around. 

Capper

When you bottle your Double I.P.A. 99' Recipe, you will need to cap your bottles. This capper is inexpensive, easy to use and does not require attaching to a counter. It has a magnet to hold the cap in place.  

 DID YOU KNOW

The craft beer revolution in the United States influenced brewers to revisit old beer styles. Ballantine IPA, which had been made in the U.S. since 1890 until the 1990s, proved inspirational.
