Near-Sighted Swine IPA (archive)
Surprisingly, I don't brew a lot of real hoppy IPA's. My only IPA up until late August 2014 was TommyHawk, and that isn't really a huge hop-bomb.
On #IPADay 2014, I came up with my own "west-coast" IPA recipe, calling it Near-Sighted Swine. The name "Near-Sighted Swine" is a tribute to Russian River's Blind Pig. Zymurgy Magazine posted a clone recipe in July/August of 2012 that I always thought would be fun to try. For this recipe, I looked at the Zymurgy clone and then pretty much ignored it.
For more information on this beer, you can look at: Sheppy's Blog: Near-Sighted Swine.

Pitch at about 60F. Ferment with ice blocks to keep below 65 for 1st few days, then remove and let it rise to room temp as long as it is less than 72. After the fermentation activity slows down (4 or 5 days), dry hop and leave in fermenter two weeks total.Brewing Record | Brew Date: |
