Its fermenting now. I used a bit less DME. Maybe about 16lbs for 10 gallons water.
I usually do a Arrogant Bastard clone with 18lbs of DME and a shitload of Chinnoook hops on top of the yeast when I do the transfer to secondary... but not sure if that is the right yeast. Should be interesting nonetheless.
So the DIPA is kegged and I am not sure I like it. It has a kind of sour flavor to it. A little bit like a kriek lambic.
Sour, huh? Mine definitely wasn't sour. What temperature did you ferment at?
In my basement it was around 72-75f
I fermented mine in the 90's iirc. Hopefully, yours will get better with some time.
Sour might be a poor description... it was more tart, but lambic style... the wife likes it and she hates IPA so there's that.
I have an Imperial Lager finishing up in the Torpedo. Started at 1.076 and it's now at 1.007. Will cold crash tomorrow. A single pack of 34/70 gets me 3 batches without cleaning my fermenter!

So the first 5 gallons ipa is done and the arrogant bastard clone I fermented on top of the yeast turned out pretty good.
I transferred a Tropical IPA to a corny yesterday. First time using Cosmic Punch Yeast. It's supposedly designed for extra biotransformation of hops. So they say, we shall see. I'm all set to make a White Stout for my wife tomorrow. I milled the grains and measured out the water additions along with the hops. Another experiment that I'll be doing next week is a Concord Grape Philly Sour (another wife request). I used Philly Sour yeast once with good results.
“Philly sour yeast” sounds like a culture that you’d use to kickstart a septic tank. :p
Philly Sour is a simple way to make a sour beer (cool name aside). The strain was found in a graveyard!
