Any US IPA Clone recipes please!?

[phatboytall]

Returned from the US and fallen in love with the IPA's out there, totally different to ours.

Anyone have any good tested recipes?

Anything like Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA, Dogfish 90minute IPA, Harpoon IPA etc..

Try this:

Mikkeller Stateside IPA
(Mikkeller are a Danish brewery, but this is an awesome US type IPA - it's their homage to the style)

Malts
67% pilsner malt
13% munich
8% cara munich
13% flaked oats

Hops
60min chinook for 90 IBU
10min cascade for 10 IBU
Dry Hop with Centennial + Cascade

Yeast American Ale (1056/001)

OG 1065
FG 1012
EBC 21

This came out as a cracking beer when I made it.....and the recipe is direct from the head brewer himself

That Mickeller IPA looks great! Might do that....or....

Was going to try this recipe for the Torpedo that came from a US forum i've just found....

Was going to convert to Metric and then replace the Crystal Hops (which i can't get) with Liberty which are apparently very similar?

Sound any good?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-Avery Brewing, just last weekend had a sixer of Ellies Brown and was very impressed, was the perfect maltness for a brown ale, would have to be my fav brown ale at the moment and being LAB tested (dog lover) just made it better
Cheers

Yeah a half pound seems like a lot, but if you have a chance to try Avery's Maharaja you should.

I buy my hops by the pound from hopsdirect.com. It's cheaper to buy a pound from them than 4oz from my local homebrew store.

Those Avery recipes should have really high attenuation, so be sure to mash low (149F).
