I love the Oskar Blues G’Knight beer. It’s been one of my favorites lately. I’ve never brewed an Imperial Red / Red IPA / Whatever it is. I sure as Hell love drinking them. So based off of the Can You Brew It podcasts and some of my own observations I’ve developed a recipe.
Update 9/4/2015
Brew day went fine. Efficiency was low so I added some DME and ended up about 1.077ish. This beer is extremely hoppy with the 6 ounce charge in the last few minutes. I am extremely interested to see how this turns out. I have a feeling it’ll be the type of beer that’ll take a month to get right after kegging.
