Punch You In The EyePA & mr. minor | Partigyle

This beer all starts with my buddy Justin who wants to brew a big beer for the upcoming Phish tour.   He doesn't have brewing equipment, at least all-grain equipment and wanted me to brew up a big IPA to bring to a few Phish shows this summer.   He created a recipe called Punch You In The EyePA.   He wanted a really bitter bad ass DIPA and sent me over a recipe to make.  I ended up tweaking it a little bit to even out some of the hop flavors and aromas.  Justin loves big Stouts, Barley Wines, DIPA, and just anything really big and flavorful.   The recipe he created is probably more like a Barley Wine then a Double IPA but it'll definitely Punch You in The EYE.

We ended up getting about 6.5 gallons of Barley Wine (I guess I should've boiled a bit longer).   And then we took 4 gallons of 3rd runnings and created about 3 gallons of a Pale Ale that we Hopbursted with 4 oz of Cascade hops.  Luckily at the end of the day I had a huge starter of Wyeast German Ale 1007 and everything was fermenting about 4 hours after the pitch!
