Notes

A beer based on Scorpius Morchella from TG. Very little info is provided, but the bartenders seemed to think it was a blend of both Northern and Southern hemisphere hops. Vaguely recall them mentioning Galaxy, Nelson, and Mosaic. Based on the firkins served with Amarillo, it seems like a safe bet. Based on the sweet citrusy character it would seem like Citra is probably in here too.

The beer has a very similar hazy character as several NE IPAs (e.g. Julius, Heady, etc) so the heavy addition of oats seems about right. Must add a heavy charge of dry hops during the last half of fermentation so biotransformation can take place of the hop oils.

At flameout, add 210F WP hops, then turn on the WP pump and let stand for 20 mins. Turn on chiller. When kettle temp hits 170F, add 170F WP hop charge and continue to crash cool.

Add half the dry hops during the first day of Primary Fermentation. Add the rest at the end of Primary or in a Secondary (keg-hopped?).

Be careful to avoid oxidation, but take no special steps to remove yeast or dry hops. Maybe skip the whirlfloc?

Start Vol = 7.5 gal (68F), 7.75 gal (212F)
Finish Vol = 6.5 gal (68F), 6.77 gal (212F)
(Volume into Fermentor = 6 gal)
Ratio = 7.5/6.5 = 1.15
