----------------------------
Name              Description                             Step Temperat Step Time    
Mash In           Add 54.75 qt of water at 169.0 F        156.0 F       45 min        

Sparge: Fly sparge with 16.10 gal water at 168.0 F


Started with the DFH 60 clone, added some more amber, roughly matched AAs with Chinook and Cascade instead of Amarillo and Simcoe.

Did a fly sparge and nailed the .4 gpm that Blichmann suggests.
Pre-Boil Gravity was 2 points low, boiled an extra 15 minutes to get right Gravity and give up a bit of volume.
Actually ended up 1 point over on Post Volume Gravity.

The Cascade/Chinook was sir hops alot style, ran from 35 mins down to post boil at 140F.

Name reflects the projected ABV of 5.5, the SRM of 5.5 and the IBUs of 55.

Any recipe where you periodically grab hobs by the handful and throw them in the boil kettle has to be good...

This turned out pretty good, going to try it again and see if I can hit the right FG next time. Wouldn't mind it a little bit sweeter, but I think it's pretty good, I think the ibus and srm are pretty close.
Fakr's having some today, maybe he will add his thoughts.

Nope, bumped up a little from the DFH clone, but it seemed just about right on every front except over fermented.

Cool, what do you mean by over-fermented? Did you mash too low?

I think I overpitched the yeast, with 5 packs instead of 4, and they ate up a little more sugar than planned.
Ended up at 6% instead of the 5.5% planned.

The mash temps were pretty good, so that's all I've got, not sure if I'm right, but I'll find out next time I guess.

Great brew.  I guess it's a matter of preference, but I didn't find the 55 too dry.  It was quite nice actually.  There was a good malt undertone to the beer, and a nice big hop punch, but not so hoppy that you couldn't drink it all evening.

I think I'll give this recipe a try, but I'll be adding some centennial and amarillo to the late addition hops.
