Notes

This is a fantastic clone of Ballast Point's Sculpin Ale. A ton of hops aroma and flavor, beautiful color, nice head retention and lacing.

  • Do iodine test pre-boil to ensure conversion was successful

  • Days 1-7 Primary
  • Days 8-14 Secondary
  • Days 15-21 add dry hops to secondary
  • Day 22 Add 1 TSP of plain gelatin to secondary and cold crash 48 hours
  • Day 24 Rack to bright keg or bottle
