WAIT!!...I wonder if that is the answer to my Hard Lemonde problem!!...Maybe I should brew it all grain and use a ton of carapils!!...is Malto Dextrin the same as carapils?

I bottled the super IPA yesterday, it smelled fantastic! I can't wait for it to carbonate, though I am a bit worried, the priming sugar mix may have been a bit too warm. I added it to the bottling bucket then transfered the beer into the mixture. Did I kill my chances for this batch carbonating?
I gotta say - I tweaked a recipe that Lupulinitus posted on this thread and it it fantastic!!

Not that it matters, but... does this fall under 'double-ipa' status? maybe barleywine?? Being a newbie I'm still working on what I like first and classification second.

Glad you liked it and used it. I always wonder how much of a difference the yeast would make. I use WYEAST 1332XL Northwest Ale exclusively for my IPA's and Porters only because I always like the beers so much and know what to expect from it. I have the same basic recipe fermenting right now except I used Columbus hops instead of the Amarillo's.
This recipe turned out great. It's a serious RyePA but it is amber in color rather than pale. If you would want it pale use 2 lbs of Crystal 30 rather than the 40 and 80. If you like IPA's, you'll definately enjoy this.

That looks like a tasty hop bomb. Just what I like!
How would you convert it to an extract version? And what do you mean with "I kraeusened with 1 qt gile"?
Hopefully someone else can answer your question about converting to extract... i know there is a formula - but i don't have it.
As to your other question... gile is unfermented wort saved from the post boil. You can use it instead of the corn sugar that is added for carbonation.
