Notes: Some mods that I made based on my mashing/sparge (and you guys have the water cooler mash tun that I was using back then). I bumped the base malt up to 9 lbs because I was not getting 78% eff on my mash and even his numbers for 78% didn't mesh with my brewing software. Go with about 9 lbs pale malt to get you in the OG range of 1.056. I fermented with White Labs 830 German Lager as Grady suggested at ale temps in the 68-72 dF range, Final beer was meh, ok I guess compared to the actual 1554.....mine was far too fruity & diacetyl. Notes that I took based on the finished beer kept the grain bill and hops the same, but changed the yeast to WLP029 German Ale/Kolsch with warm fermentation temp (68-74 dF). I don't stock that yeast, but can order it on a Monday and have it in store by Friday. You could probably have similar result with a dry yeast SD-23 if you can ferment it around 68-72 dF, I completely agree with Grady on fermenting with a lager yeast at ale fermentation temps. They produce a huge amount of diacetyl and off flavor by-products at those warm temps, but are masked/offset by the extreme peppery spice profile from the addition of Paradise Seeds. After sampling my version of this beer with Mike Dixon (national bjcp judge), I'm convinced that it could be made with WYeast 3463 Belgian Forbidden Fruit strain and fermented in the 70ish dF range as well.

What I get from the brewery (Grady Hull, asst brwmstr):
60% Pale malt, then carapils, munich, black and chocolate.
Mash at around 154° for 45m.
21 IBU's of Target for 35m, lager yeast fermented around 65ish.
He also commented on my recipe assumptions, which gave a few more hints.
I'm now thinking something like:

Notes: Tuesday 15th September 2015 - 1.6L DME starter made for WY1318. Starter on stir plate for 36 hr before splitting. Saved 550 mL (~100 billion cells) for next batch. Crash chilled the remaining 1.1L so that I could decant before pitching.

Thursday 17th September 2015 - BIAB mash with 69oC strike water (28L). 64.6oC mash temp. Stirred for 2-3 minutes (lots of doughballs). 20 mins in stirred again and temp = 63.5. 40 mins in stirred again and temp = 62.6oC. After 1 hr temp = 61.5oC.

pH meter playing up so no mash pH reading. Adjusted as normal to hit 5.4. Saved a sample to test at work and soaked the pH electrode in KCl solution....

17L at 1.065. Diluted to 20L at 1.055. Pitched yeast at 25oC.

Saturday 26th September 2015 - Kegged with 125g Southern Passion. FG = 1.014. 5.4% ABV...

Kegged Wed 30th September 2015 - pressure transfer

Keg kicked Mon 19th October 2015 - new dry hopping seemed to work well. Beer had good hop flavour, though the aroma wasnt all I had hoped for. Overall one of the best IPAs I have made this year, but still only 80% of where I want to be. Will brew a similar recipe again very soon.
