Hazy Double IPA

Dan Hansen • May 6, 2020

Season 1 / Episode 6

Today I’m brewing up a 3 gallon Hazy Double IPA on my Anvil Foundry 6.5 gallon brew system and it’ll be my first time trying out the Anvil 4 gallon Brew Bucket. Double IPAs are nothing new but with the rise of the New England IPA came a much more palatable version. While the math doesn’t exactly work out, I like to think of this reimagined style as a hazy with twice the alcohol and twice the hops. Hazy Double IPAs like this one have intense hop aroma and flavor, moderate bitterness, and a full bodied mouthfeel.


Since this is my first go at this reimagined style I’m using a recipe from Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine but with a little change to the yeast selection.


Now, let’s make some beer!

Wild American Sour

By Dan Hansen • February 16, 2021
Today I’m brewing a Wild American Sour. This is the holy grail for me. The sharp, funky aroma, the initial shock of sour, and the insane complexity. I just love this style. Wild sours are characterized by the yeast and bacteria that produces them. In addition to brewer’s yeast they also contain Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus. And these funky bugs take a long time to do their work. Some beers in this style age for years. I’m stoked to give it a shot. Let’s make some beer!

Session Stout

By Dan Hansen • December 16, 2020
In the last episode of Hops & Gnarly season two, I’m making a sessionable stout. Imperial Stouts are cool and all but today I’m shooting for a 4.5% ABV stout that packs just as much flavor and complexity as a full-strength alternative. It’s gonna need a full body, big chocolate aromas, and sweet bready and roasted coffee flavors. Now, let’s make some beer.

Philly Sour Gingerbread Gose

By Dan Hansen • December 2, 2020
This week I’m taking on a bit of a challenge and I’m brewing a Philly Sour Gingerbread Gose. This one’s maybe a little out there but I think it just might work. This will be my first time using Lallemand’s Philly Sour yeast and I’m shooting for flavors like molasses, cinnamon, and clove paired with a salt and coriander infused sour. Now let’s make some beer!
