Notes

Hazy IPA inspired by Mr. Zogg's Sex Wax (Surf Wax)

  • Primarily coconut with some extra tropical flavors along with bees wax/honey and cream
  • Sabro for coconut and tropical
    -Ekuanot for extra tropical
  • Coconut extract for coconut dominance
  • honeycomb for beeswax
  • Thoughts of lactose for "creaminess" (undecided)


    7.65 starting water volume target
  • Add (boiled) honeycomb into secondary fermenter after racking.
  • After 2-3 days of secondary fermentation following the addition of the honeycomb, add dry hops of 3-5 days.
  • Add coconut extract into keg - amount TBD through experimentation
