Any of you monkeys homebrew?

I have been wanting to try my hand at brewing a 120 minute IPA with a monster 18 to 20% abv yield.

I found this recipe, but I don't speak the language well...
120 minute brew with a high yield...

Anyone give me an idea of what I am getting into?

Lots of work and a beer (Dogfish Head 120) that IMO isn't all that great. I'm not sure it's really even an IPA, it's well into barleywine territory but there are much better choices in that category as well.

Would I drink one if someone else was buying, sure but I wouldn't spend the time or effort to brew it myself.

That would be a helluva first recipe to tackle.
Good luck!

90 > 60 > 120

Agreed!

It would have been like the Wright Brothers trying to build and fly a 737 right off the bat.

go big or go home, right?

See, DFH 120 is my all time, ring a ding, championship favorite. Its worth the stretch to make 5 gallons of that golden goodness.

Do you have any brewing experience whatsoever?
