As a home brewer on the southern east coast I believe it is my right and responsibility to patronize Dog Fish Head brewery. I recently took up a challenge from my future brother in-law to try and clone the 60 Minute IPA. I did a little (and I mean a very little) research and found a recipe on Google books for this beer. The recipe in the book was an extract recipe. I converted it to all grain.
The recipe: 5 Gallon Batch
12 Lbs 2-Row
6 Oz Amber Malt.
14 g Amarillo (boil)
14 g Simcoe (boil)
14 g Warrior (boil)
14g Amarillo (0 min)
28 g (Dry Hop)
14g (Simcoe)
Mash @ 151
*The boil hops were all split into 12 small cups that were added to the boil in 5 min increments.
Ferment @ 66 F (19C) My clone vs the real 60 minute. My clone is lighter in color and slightly more clear. The hop character is similar but the clone has a softer bitterness. The real 60 minute has a much more aggressive and bright hop character than my clone. I think if I had made some water adjustments I could have come much closer. All in all its tasty and darn close.
