Double IPA DIPA Beer Recipe Writing Brewing & Style Guide

Hi David! I was going to make this (your Hop Monster) next weekend and purchased what I need today. My local homebrew store was out of the sachets of Voss but they did have liquid so I purchased two (Omega OYL-061). I just watched your Kevik video and it looks like I should place both pouches of OYL-061 into a mason jar and just pitch 1 teaspoon of the yeast - no starter? I am brewing about 5.5 US gallons. Thanks.

I'm going to do a DIPA with my homegrown Cashmere hops. I like this recipe because it should provide a clean canvas that will let that flavor come through. I prefer DIPAs because I find a plain IPA too dry most of the time and to me they are more balanced (subjective statement for sure). Unless I am drop dead thirsty, I don't care for "thin" beers. Is there enough Carafoam in this to provide a moderately "full" or "round" mouth feel? I've not used Carafoam before.

As a newbie to home brewing I would love to see a short video explanation of scaling. A lot of recipes are 15 or 20 litre but I'm predominantly brewing 25l batches as I'm sharing equipment and therefore product.

Wait what! I just started watching your fermentation under pressure videos today and been reading into it, but 95 degrees F and done in one day! Man that's sweet. Greats vids.

Hi David, I wonder if could do a 30min boil on a Dipa since you talked about the shorter boiltime in another video?

Would you say this beer is more akin to a clean, hop forward West Coast style IPA? From the description and the ingredients it certainly seems so. I was also wondering, now that we have dried Lutra available, would this work well in this recipe?

Hello David! I just tried this recipe and fermented with Voss @35C. It's just about done as the kräusen dropped. I realized I'd need this beer ready by Friday (so within 4 days).

Do you think is it a bad idea to dry hop @14 degrees C for couple of days to knock out the yeast and speed up the process?

Thanks for your great video. I would like to brew a DIPA and now working on Water Profile. I've noted your metrics but there is one metric that didn't mentioned called CACO3. Grainfather requires a given metric. Could you please mention it?

Hi David, about the 60min hop addition, could it work with chinook instead of Warrior. I have some leftover from a few month🤔

Hi David, would 1 packet of us05 be OK for a 13-14 litre batch of this?

LIttle late to the party here David. This sound aces. I will be brewing on the 30L Grainfather rather than the G70. Would you do a reiterated mash? Probably right?

Bry 97 is one of the best dried yeasts if not the best.

The font used for hop names is super unclear and hard to read. Otherwise great video.

Hi David, as usual a superb, informative guide. I have a question on dry hopping when using Kveik. Should i reduce the temperature following completion of fermentation before adding dry hops ? I am using the GF conical fermenter and fermenting around 35 deg C.

If i add pineapple to this should it be done in the primary or secondary

Just had a DIPA tonight that was underwhelming. Too sweet, and not enough malty or fruity backbone. I definitely prefer my DIPAs with a strong malt backbone to offset the unrelenting bitterness. My favorite is Lone Pint's Jabberwocky (1.014 FG, and 114 IBUs).

Thanks a lot David great advice 👍

Hi there. I'm new to all grain brewing as well as some of the equipment you're using but you said that fermentation was completed within 24 hours. Is that right, and how do you achieve this?

Love your videos... i have a question ... i have been extract brewing for about 4 years.... i finally have the space to brew all grain i do not have the money to buy an electric brewer... so i made my own mash tun... i have 3 brews under my belt i have watched a ton of video love your channel... my question can i take your recipes and use them with my all grain mash tun brewing?

Great guide. Thank you. Would you use the same temp and pressure if you had pitched US-05?

David, Thanks for the top shelf information in your videos. Well produced too. It has improved my brews!

Great explanation on how to brew a very nice double IPA. Since I have been following your channel I've gained a lot of knowledge about brewing beer and my Grainfather system. Keep up the good work David, I am very grateful for this!

Hey David,
Do you think if I up the pilsner on this then add a lot of maltodextrin I keep up the alcohol content?

Does anyone know where to buy HBC 522 Hops in Europe?

Hey David,
Can you do a recipe for the strongest beer I can brew the quickest?

Thanks David for a great video. Could tell which yeast nutrients would you recommend to use? Some people say that wine yeast nutrients are fine, but I'm not so sure.

Well done very informative video.
One question what is your carbing process? Do you rely on fermenting under pressure or give it a force carb once in the keg?
Thanks for the help.

Very nice recipe David. Looks interesting. How would this turned out when being a brut dipa?

David is there a recommended PSI/Bars for fermenting under pressure? Is it style dependent?

Hi David. Do you hop at flameout for 15 during whirlpool then cool? Cheers

Nice guide! I like your recipe. I often find homebrewers using too much crystal in this style and it comes out very sweet and caramel. Not a characteristic I like in an IPA. May have to give your recipe a go!! 👍🍻

Great recipe, thanks David! Can you dry this kveik and reuse like normal Voss? Or does it still need high pitching rates?

Thanks for the video. When you pressure ferment how do you dry hop. I assume you release the pressure slowly first. Dry hop then add co2 to be able bottling from the fermenter. I have a ss brewtec fermenter and ferment at 15 psi. I haven’t been dry hopping as I bottle using a counter pressure bottler. For my next brew I want to dry hop so have purchased a brewtec adjustable valve and plan to add co2 up to 25 psi to get a high carbonation beer. Do you see any issues with this method?

Sorry for the newbie question. What is meant by "Hops - *Remember to adjust to your hops alpha acid %*"?

My next Brew for sure! I did not see hop quantities.. where am I going to find it? I did not find your recipe in Brewfather library...?

Very pro as always! Love your vids

Looks delicious David. As always, thanks for the very informative content.

Where did you get that tool attached with grill?

the DIPAs are all the rage now here in Eastern Canada.. I can't wait to try this one.. the Hop selection sounds amazing and I will take your advice and experiment, thanks for the excellent video :)

Lovely, I have to try this beer, sounded great and looked astonishing, thanks for your time and effort. PS: the beer where I used S-04 yeast came out grate 👍😊👍

Beautiful head, looks delicious. Do you find you have any issues with head retention as far as kegging vs bottling(force carb vs priming/conditioning). Not sure if you've covered this as im new to the channel. Cheers

Thanks, David, I love this style of video rather than simply giving a recipe. Love your work, please keep them coming

Hi David ! Thanks for the great video.
What could be a replacement for HBC 522 ?


Thanks ! :-)

Excellent information. I can't wait to try this brew! :)

Your videos are amazing! Thank you. Did you dry hop with loose pellets? I had some serious problems with my kegmenter with loose pellets. Got quite amount of hop matter to bottles.

David, you keep me Brewing and Brewing... :)

Sounds lovely! Thx mate!

Nice, I’m going to try this recipe, but with less IBU...thank you very much for your videos, I’m Fan🤗👍

Another amazing and useful guide. Thank you for your time in making these.

Oh man I've been waiting for this. Appreciate your work mate!!
