We have the homebrew thread, and a ghost thread, so why not have an independent GITM clone thread. It is a fantastic beer, and I love the bright color and the delicious hops. I'm sure a few of you have the inside scoop on the hops used, and i could probably email andrew and he'd give some insight.
So, to the homebrewers and craft enthusiasts, what is your thoughts on the recipe for this beer? I'll be able to dissect it better when i get home and drink some.

Citra. Then more citra. Then add some more citra. Then dry-hop with citra. And then some more citra. Then double-dry-hop with even more citra.

What about the malt bill? I'm thinking 2 row and some vienna to give it that bright color. It's also not very translucent, you think some flaked oats were thrown in for mouth feel, which would give it a protein haze?

Definitely flaked oats in there from my conversations with him in the past.

Two row or Pilsner
Oats
Wheat
Generous American hops at whirlpool and dry hop
British yeast with a lot of esters and low flocculation
Boom.
Ghost and most other cloudy IPAs.

There was a podcast episode recently that talked about water adjustments too. Might have been Experimental Homebrew, Basic Brewing, or Fermwntation Nation. Hell, could have been all of them. One or more of them have talked about NEIPAs recently.

Don't worry about the malt. You don't need grains for GitM. You're going to be mashing with hops only.

Brewer's secret: Andrew doesn't boil the hops for ghost.

Which batch are you trying to clone?


Sorry. Couldn't help it. I actually really like GITM.

WLP 007 Dry english ale yeast.
Or, go to the brewery and ask them for some. They'll sell it to you.

I dunno. Somebody bumped this thread from March of 2015. That's some serious ghost searching...
