    ["Brew_Betty, post: 3898981, member: 921318"]Here is my problem with your plan. 15lbs of pale malt + 2lbs of honey + 0.75lbs of C40 +wy1968 = FG of 1.024, aka DIABETUS DIPA. Some people like sweet DIPAs. I drain pour them.[/QUOTE]

    I used vikeman's brewcipher, which does treat it as 100% fermentable, and it projected the FG at 1.015.

    Mash low, ferment low. I'd do 148 F mash rest, and 64 F for ferment. Then after 72 hr primary, let temp increase to 70 and hold. That's what I'd do, WLP002 should be a good choice.

    That's still 0.003 higher than I think most of us would like a DIPA.

    Mash at 145F and then raise up to high 150s for conversion after an hour. That will make for a dry beer.
