Vinnie Cilurzo is the brewer that made the double IPA a staple in so many menu boards across American breweries and taprooms. Pliny the Elder has become the standard when discussing double IPAs. Double IPAs range from being straw gold to bronze orange. Clarity will depend on whether or not the beer is dry hopped.
Yeast The yeast for a double IPA should be well attenuating strain with a clean, neutral character. Some options include: While Labs California Ale (WLP001), California Ale V WLP051, Wyeast American Ale 1056 or Northwest Ale 1332. Imperial Yeast’s selection of yeasts are also a good choice.
Unlike most commercially available low-carb beers, these recipes are full of flavor but still short on unwanted carbohydrates. All of this is made possible by our little drug store enzyme hero, “Beano”. With low-carb diets, all the rage right now, isn’t great to know you could still work your homebrew into them?
That gives you the flavor, but it has no body. For this, dissolve a tablespoon of plain gelatin in a cup of hot water. Let it cool, and add a tablespoon to your glass of IPA. If you want a head, add the gelatin to the liquid gold before adding the mineral water.
