Resurrection of 777

I am going to brew the following and will be bringing it to the AHA Nationals this summer to share with the world out there.

I invite others to do the same, or at least brew it and share it with friends and family in celebration of our great little community here on HBT.

It is a brew with a 1.070 OG (17 pluto), a 1.007 FG, 70 IBUs coming from 7 hop additions, 7 SRMs of color, a 70 minute boil and White Labs WLP007 yeast fermented at 70 degrees.

You wanted sevens, so...

I only see 6 hop additions. Is there an unseen dryhop?

Neighbor of The Beast IPA?

F Yeah! I just emptied out a primary. I'm so in!

I say to sticky-fy the thread, but leave it up to BP, His Brewness.

Yeh...that is it...I meant to do that...

Dry hop with what ever hop you might like to use. I think I will use Amarillo!

That recipe looks really good, elegant in it's simplosity. I'm in!

I am making 20 gallons. That means a 54# grain bill and 22 ozs. of hops.

I love it! :rockin:

I love it. Great job Brewpaster. I think I will make this my first all grain brew! Wish me luck.

P.S. Is there a extract version for those that aren't set up for an all grain?

I guess you could steep flaked rye along with the crystal. But I don't know. I am so out of the extract loop that I don't have any idea what extract brewers are doing with rye. Other then that It would simply be a substition of some DME for the 2-row, and a full boil for the hop schedule. About 6.5 ponds of light extract will do the trick.

Count me in! A 7th hop of the brewer's choice - I like it!

Did I miss something BP, it looks like yout 20G recipe has rye, but the 5G recipe does not. Am I crazy?

OK, so I posted the wrong recipe. What I am planning to brew is the 777 Rye IPA. (God this day is not running smoothly) That recipe is:

THIS is what I am brewing!

Count me in. I'll try to get it percolating as soon as I get back.

I'm on it! Am I to understand that those of us heading out to Denver in June should each bring a batch for comparison?

Sounds like a good idea to me! Or at least a few bottles. I will bring a cornie.

Absolutely, sounds like a great idea.

I wouldn't mind bringing a corny of this. With that OG we better get brewing soon though.

Me, too. I can't meet you guys in Denver, but I'll brew this soon. It sounds great! Thanks, BP

I think I'll give this one a go, too. I have my 7.7.7 revolution brew in the works next https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=21596&page=29, but I'll do this one soon.

Looks good! I'm subbing rye malt for the flaked rye, b/c I have plenty of it on hand. I just have to scale it correctly.

I put the recipe into beersmith and I come up with 56.6 IBUs. I'm scratching my head. I put in all the right AA percentages, brewhouse efficiency, hop quantities, etc, but I'm fairly short of the 70ibus...

What formula did you use in Brewsmith related to IBUs?

I'm not sure I follow. I adjusted the AA% of the hop listed in the database, and it did have an effect on the IBUs listed, but it leaves it at 56.6. if I up the boil to 6.5 from 5 it goes to 65.2ibu. Not sure whats wrong...

http://www.twistedparity.com/misc/777.bsm
go ahead and download the bsm file and see if you can make heads or tails of it.

There are several different formulas for calculating IBU's. As long as you're consistant with using one, and base your taste on that you're fine. I wouldn't worry about the difference.

My Promash is set to Tinseth as the formula for hop calculations. Many would argue this is not an accurate formula, and I understand the case for and against the various formulas, but I have always used Tinseth and so I just stick with it. Unless your brewing program is using this same formula it will come up with a different value.

I'm doing the Rye IPA from earlier, so mine will be different.

I've never brewed with rye before, and this IPA will be pretty close to my biggest beer to date. How long will it need to condition before being ready to drink? If I brew it in early April, it'll be fine to crack open on 7/7? Three months will be plenty, won't it?

I start drinking mine as soon as it clears and is conditioned, which can be as early as 3 or 4 weeks. I like my IPAs (and most of my other beers) as fresh as possible. I am not saying to push them, but July is a long time off!

Cool, that's what I was thinking. Just a little worried about the pretty big starting gravity.

I will mash low, 148ish, use a lot of yeast, inline oxygen and I imagine it will rocket through fermentation in 4-5 days. Lots of blow-off, nice and messy. Just the way I like it!

I'll have to join you on the dark side and actually use liquid yeast...

Since I have very little experience on this side, how big of a starter should I make for this beer?

Bird, go with 2 liters. Just do a simple DME wort, boiling for 10 minutes - half gallon water and half pound of dme. Cool it and pitch the liquid yeast. Let it do it's thing for about 2-3 days. I typically pitch the whole thing but you could pour the beer off the cake first and then pitch. I usually pitch before the yeast has finished and settled, so I throw the beer in too. It won't hurt anything and the yeast will be good and strong. I use a gallon glass jug, so 2 liters doesn't even blow over. I use a 3-piece bubbler with no mess.

I'll pitch this mofo onto another yeast cake!

Same here!

I'm doing this as part of a 'group brew' with Snakebone, rdwj, FermentEd and flippindiscs this Sunday! Unfortunately, Cheesefood can't make it. We'll have a beer in your honor, Cheese!

This is cool! I am brewing it on Friday. I have a 55# bag of floor malted 2-row lined up and a fresh slurry of yeast from a local micro. The rye is coming from another brewery, as are the hops. I am using a combo of filtered rain water, my well water and RO water. Shooting for a 25 gallon batch, simply because I have the capacity and if you run this recipe up to use a full 55# bag of 2-row, that is how much you will be making.

The ingredients came today. Now I'm waiting for my 10 gallon cooler to come. Good chance I'm brewing it this weekend .

Anyone else brew yet?

Man, I was going to brew a Red Eye Rye tomorrow but I think I actually have all of the right ingredients for this on hand. If I do, I'll brew it tomorrow.

EDIT: Errrr....I don't have WLP007...RER it is , I guess

Go for it anyway, use what you have and give use a brew to compare in Denver!

Starter pitched this afternoon. White Labs 009 Australian Ale. Who hoo!!
