Notes: YEAST
*Make a starter: use 2 vials of Wyeast 3724 pitched into 2 L of media (containing 205 g of DME)
*Start 24 hours ahead of pitch into Wort

MASHING
*grain bill is 12 lbs, so estimate 1.5 quarts H20 per pound of grain = 18 quarts (4.5 gallon)

MASHING STEPS
1) Add the 18 quarts of water (164*F) to mash tun
2) Allow to sit 60 minutes (151*F)
3) Drain out 1-2 quarts of the wort
4) Pour back into top of mash tun GENTLY as to not disturb the grain bed - this is part of the "vorlauf" step in which you force the grain to become its own blockage/filter for the sweet wort to go through (stop any large pieces)
5) Drain 1-2 quarts and repeat until there are no large grain pieces coming through (3-4 times)
6) Drain the mash tun completely; note volume for future reference. Set aside this wort (will not re-add)
7) Now add half sparge water (1.5 gallons at 170*F) & stir gently to get the grain bed sugars and enzymes back into solution
8) Allow to sit 10 minutes
9) Repeat Vorlauf until runnings are clear, alternate with the other half of the sparge water
10) Drain all into your kettle, this is your WORT :)

Notes: Actual OG was 1.090. I used two packs of yeast to give it a healthy fermentation. Primary fermentation : 1 week so far, planning on 3/4 weeks. Then dry hop in the secondary for another 10 days. 2/15 racked to secondary for dry hop, SG was 1.021

Done done and done. Tastes amazing. Nice bone-white head. Full body and nice hoppiness that you would expect from a black IPA

Notes: Mash rest at 122F, 1qt/lb at 132F
Next rest at 150F with 6qt boiling water
Mash out with 6qt boiling
Batch sparge with 6qt 175F
Lauter very slowly, took 1.5 hours start to finish
First runnings exactly 12 Brix
First runnings all in kettle 12.8 Brix (1.052)
Second runnings 7.5 Brix (1.030)
Third runnings 5.9 Brix (1.030)
Preboil OG was 11 Brix (1.044) out of kettle valve
90 min boil
Maybe 1 gal water left behind with grains
Lots of boil off. Added 2qts hot water at 18 minutes. Bad idea, diluted everything
Original gravity 12 Brix (1.048)
Pitching temp was 68-70F
Fermented in boil kettle with cold water at 60-62F for 9 days then added to temp fridge at 68F. SG when added to fridge was 1.010.
Beer is darker than expected. Will let sit at 68F for 2 days then crash cool in boil kettle with ice before bottling.

Notes: The Basics:
I developed this recipe for a 6 gallon batch knowing that 1/2 a gallon will be left in the pot to avoid as much trub as possible. That said you will be fermenting 5.5 gallons.
All rest temperatures are in the tun, not strike water. You will need to calculate your strike water based on your grain temperature and type of mash tun you are using.
I use yeast starters in all of my recipes with what I think are excellent results. For my starters I compose the starter wort to closely approximate the sugar profile of the target batch. This helps the yeast develop the best cell membranes to ferment the final wort with little to no adjustment. I typically use a 1 quart starter for gravities 60 and above, and half quart for gravities below 60. I allow the starter to ferment a full 3 days to allow glycogen reserve buildup and settling. Then I pour out the first little bit of starter, pour the middle bit into a glass, then pour out the rest leaving mostly only the yeast cake. Then I smell and taste the bit in the glass to ensure there are no infections lurking. Sanitation is paramount.
The Beer:
I've brewed this batch a number of times. It is not at the high end of the Imperial/Double IPA spectrum, but it gives the drinker all the in-your-face hop aroma and flavor one could want, backed by balanced malt flavor and body. The Warrior hops are the cleanest high alpha hops I've found. Using them in the FWH and the boil set the foundation of the hop character of this beer. And while the remaining additions are all Centennial hop additions, because of the times and the fact that Centennial is already a complex hop, you get all the complexity you need. If you want to swap out for the other American "C's" (Citra, Crystal, Cascade, etc...) all of them will work well, but give this a go first.
Give this bad boy 10 days in the primary at 64-65 degrees, then rack to a secondary. Let the beer condition for 2 more weeks in the secondary, then add 1 oz. each of Centennial & Willamette whole hops for 1 additional week of conditioning with dry hops. As an alternative to 2 ounces of whole hops in the secondary, you can leach/rinse the Willamette hops with a small amount of boiled water or even better a boiled bottle or 2 of beer. I use this approach to add 1/4 ounce of Polyclar 10 with the boiled beer.
