Does anyone have a good clone for this? The only one I found was partial extract, but would prefer all grain.
Its my favorite DIPA of all time, so any advise would be appreciated!

I spoke with one of the brewers and he said they only use a bittering addition and the rest comes from dry hopping. Hard to believe.

Did you see that mash temp? 159? That doesn't seem correct.

The bottom of the pic is cut off, but the recipe came directly from Nick Floyd. 159 is certainly high, but works great for this beer.

That is why I am always wary of the BYO recipes given. There always seems to be something wrong/off with them.

BYO is not immune to typos. I know that there's been a few issues where the follwing month's issue states, "we made a mistake in our numbers" or conversely, they respond to a reader's letter with, "No, actually, the numbers are correct".
I guess brewers would have to use what works on their home system the best. Jamil always goes on about mash temps and how "one guys 152 is another guys 155", etc etc.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the replies everyone.
That does seem like a high mash temp... hmmmm
