Lagunitas IPA clone

I put a lot of effort into trying to make a clone of Lagunitas IPA. There is a lot of internet info out there, including podcast interviews with the brewers, random recipes, and lots of opinions. I tested all of these over a year, and ended up with this recipe. It is the closest I have come to the real thing, and in a blinded triangle style test, no one could really tell the difference. This is a much better match than other online recipes I have tried.

Mash in at 60 degrees, single step infusion mash at 67 degrees for 60 minutes with recirculation. RIMS system, Spiedel Braumeister 20L plus.

3 liter rinse sparge 55c post mash

pre boil 54 Oe, 1.051 g/ml

Boil for 60 minutes.

post boil 62 Oe, 1.059 g/ml

Hop stand post boil for 20 minutes

Cool to 66F and pitch yeast, 2 smack packs 1056.

After 5 days, raise temp to 68 F and hold for a day, rouse the beer with a quick stir.

After 24 hours, add the dry hops and let stand for 4 days (T-Sa). Beer should be around fg at this point. Something like 1.012-10 g/ml

Cold crash beer and gelatin fine for 2 days, transfer to keg and serve
