Vinnie's "Pliny the Elder" Double IPA - Extract Beer Kit
KIT774
(Makes 5 gallons) Vinnie is back, with a second Double IPA for us. Pliny the Elder comes in at roughly 8% alcohol, with 6 separate hop additions! This beer is named after Gainus Plinius Secondus, or Pliny The Elder, who came up with the botanicle name for hops - lupus salictarius (wolf among scrubs). Sadly, Pliny died while helping people escape the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in August, 79 AD. (see, who says beer can't make you smarter!) With a light malt base and intense hop flavor, this will give any hop-head a run for his money!
This is THE original Pliny recipe, given to us by Vinnie at a talk he did in our showroom some years back and geared for homebrewers. While some of his methods have changed since then, the spirit of this beer hasn't. High bitterness with a dry malt finish combined with an intense hop flavor and aroma.
