Odell IPA Clone

Sitting here in the living room while the brew chills. Thought I would post this recipe I found online for an Odell IPA Clone. The inspiration for brewing this came to myself while on a mountain bike ride here in Socorro. I had a refreshing Odell IPA so I decided it would be cool to try and reproduce this myself. With some help from Clark, we (mostly Clark) put together a recipe that hopefully replicates that tasty goodness that I loved while drunk on my mountain bike.

Boil Time: 90 Minutes
IBUs: 47
SRM: 7
OG: 1.067
Assumed Efficiency: 75%

We aimed to make 6 gallons with this recipe

All Grain:
6lb Crisp Maris Otter
5lb Briess Pale Ale Malt
2lb Weyermann Vienna
0.625lb Crisp CaraMalt
0.5lb Weyermann Cara Foam

1.0 oz Horizon pellett Hops 8% @90min
1.1 oz Cascade pellet hops 5.4% @90min
1.0 oz Columbus pellet hops 14.6% at burnout [these smelled the most like the Odell IPA]
1.0oz Chinok pellet hops 11.4% at burnout
1.0 oz Cascade pellet hops 5.4% (dry hop)
0.80 oz Amarillo pellet hops 8.2% (dry hop)
1.2 oz Centennial pellet hops 10.6 (dry hop)

Mash at 154 (we hit 152F)for 60 minutes. Mash out at 168 (we didn't really have a specific temp we were shooting for). Ferment at 68F then condition in secondary on dry hops at 60F for at least one week.

Will dry hop next Tuesday, ferment, then enjoy, hopefully on a singletrack in the mountains!
