Recipe Notes

Warrior for the bittering, Simco for the flavor, Glacier for aroma. Then, 1/4 each of the Simcoe and Glacier for dry hopping. Be careful with dry hopping. I find that it takes it a couple of extra weeks in the bottle to mellow out. When you open your first one after a week or so, it's too much. Let it sit a bit longer.

I'm also using late malt extract addition. This is a nice technique where you add the malt in the last 10 minutes or so. It reduces caramelization, which makes your pale ale too dark. Late extract addition keeps that light color.

Finally, the real dogfish uses something called "continuous hopping". It's where I divide the hops into small piles, and add them every 5 minutes or so. Do this at your own risk.

Batch Notes

I'm looking forward to the Simcoe hops in this one. It's supposed to be a bit like Centenial, but with a bit more bitter -- and with some pine background. Brewed on Oct 4th. Same day the No Pumpkin Oatmeal Stout goes to bottle.
