Odell IPA Clone? - Page 4

Omahawk · 10-04-2011, 01:07 AM

Any updates to report? I know IBUs calculated versus measured can differ quite a bit, but the little information available from ODell's website indicates 60 IBUs for the IPA. Those 2 oz of flameout hop additions likely add SOME IBUs, which won't show up in bitterness calcs from software. German Ale Yeast - interesting. It definitely is a clean malt, late-hop-heavy beer.

Let us know how the Zymurgy recipe turns out!

Poured my first glass out of the keg last night. It was a little more hazy than Odells but the aroma and taste were very similar! It's the best clone I've brewed. Although it's not identical it's close enough that my wife didn't know the difference. It will probably become my house IPA.

Awesome--can't wait to give it a shot. What kind of yeast did you end up going with?

jmkratt · 10-05-2011, 02:06 PM

I used US-05. I have been enjoying US-05 for my APAs and IPAs lately as it's clean and lets the hops shine.

What yeast are you thinking of using?

Odells says they use a German yeast in their beers, but I've tried both a German Ale yeast and even a Kolsch and neither one of them were very close. They did create a really clean IPA though. I'll have to try the US-05.

I know the yeast isn't accurate so if you're looking for a true clone maybe US-05 isn't the way to go. It might not be a clone but it makes good beer

I just had an Odells IPA on tap a few weeks ago, it was amazing..I'm gonna give the LHBS a ring and start putting together a partial mash recipe--cant wait to get this one going..I'll use the US-05 like noted earlier.

Lemme know how this comes out casino. Got to try one my buddy brought back from boarding in New Mexico and it was outstanding.

Hey guys, this isn't THE recipe for an Odell IPA clone, but I drank mine side by side with the Odell and couldn't tell the difference. Mine didn't age quite as well, because I didn't get all the dry hop leavin's out at bottling. So at about 2months in the bottle, a couple of them had a slight grassy taste. Not terrible, but something I notice (friends don't).
