I do not claim this is the true recipe for this great Wisconsin IPA but I've gleaned some notes from articles, interviews, and field research and came up with this to share. Alternative hop schedule might be FWH/20/5. First attempt was spot on color wise and tastes similar to the original bottled version side-by-side.
Notes: Adjust for your system's efficiency, both in sugar extraction and hop bitterness utilization. I believe my utilization for this first batch was a bit weaker than normal (not a strong boil, use of hop bags), not to mention the unknown bitterness achieved at flameout/whirlpool/hopstand.
Version 1
5 gallons All-grain OG 1.064 @ 70% efficiency IBU ~65 SRM ~6
11.5lb (96%) Golden Promise
0.5lb (4%) Golden Naked Oats (I originally used Crystal 10/15L)
Mash 150-154F for 60 minutes or until full conversion
Add Gypsum to help pop the hops (and adjust water for proper pH)
0.5oz Galena 13%AA 60 minutes or FWH
0.75oz Galena 5 minutes
0.75oz Cluster 6.8%AA 5 minutes
0.5oz Citra 13%AA 5 minutes
Flameout/Hopstand 30 minutes (before active chilling)
0.75oz Galena
0.75oz Cluster
1oz Citra
3oz Citra Dryhop 3 days
IPA house yeast of choice (can't remember if I used US-05/Wy1056/Wy1272)
