Can confirm this is super tasty, I was lucky enough to get a couple cans from @secretlevel. Loads and loads of rip grapefruit. I also brewed the sorta mostly dead recipe recently, love this grain bill as a base for WC IPAs.

Nicely done! Looks and sounds great. I have a "sorta mostly dead" clone in a fermenter now and I can't wait for it to be finished. I'm loving these pilsner malt west coast ipas. I really want to try a cold IPA and or west coast pils at some point as well.

Agreed, 4.6 should be the max, I'm just curious what a higher pH does to the final beer. More of an experiment than anything.

Forever tweaking indeed! I need to start doing split batches to test side by side results. I'm currently working on my final pH. Most of my hazies finish around 4.4-4.5, going to try and get that up to 4.7 to see if it helps "round the beer" out. I've been degassing some commercial brews...

To build off what dgallo said, i like my hazies to finish around 1.020 or so. If I'm using a high attenuating yeast strain I may add some maltodextrin (to the boil, 10 mins) or dextrin malts to the recipe to raise the FG. For example, if I have a recipe that predicts my FG at 1.017, I'll add...

It makes sense, some of these hazies are so sweet, seems like it would be hard to do with mash temps alone. Have you heard anything from Fidens? I think Jasper is one of the best beers I've ever had. Super fluffy and full-bodied with a nice sweet-ish finish. I've only had triple jasper once...

Nice work! Looks great and sounds even better. One thing Sam said he does to increase body fullness is to add maltodextrin and or brewers crystals. I've never used brewers crystals before but I think I'll give them a shot when I try a Brujos clone.

That's awesome! Keep us posted on the progress. What eff did you end up getting? If I planned on doing a clone, I was thinking around 60% on my system. Curious what you ended up getting on the GF.

Great catch, my bad. I'll fix that. He said malto and definitely meant maltodextrin and not maltose. Typo on my part.

i don't think they did, i remember Jamie moving on to another topic, I was so bummed. I need to listen again, to make sure i have everything right, first time i was mowing the lawn and missed some details. below were the notes i was able to take, took me a lot longer to mow that day. Grain...

Good call, forgot about that. I think he said even some malto as well.

Same! In the interview he says he uses no acid, lets the high calcium levels buffer the ph. I think he said he uses a minimum of 250ppm of calcium chloride. If I'm remembering correctly. I try to aim for 4.6 into package. Right at the food safety line haha.

I may have to try that, I'm a big fan of wheat, never done a no oat IPA yet. Something to think about.

Anyone listen to the latest CB&B podcast with Sam Zermeno from Brujos? I've never had their IPAs but they have a pretty big following and some solid ratings on Untappd. Sam gives a lot of detail around the recipe and process. Pretty neat. As they are going through recipe design he says...

i haven't tried recirculating yet, but its on my list. Bubbling co2 for now. Definitely will give it a shot once I got the recirculation equipment

I leaning towards this as well, seems the "safest" option.

I picked up some spectrum for dry hopping myself. I've been trying to think of the best way to DH with it, limiting DO in the finished product. The current top two options Pull 10-12oz of finished beer, add spectrum. Use my Co2 purging dry hopper to add the mixture back to the beer. This...

I don't see why you couldn't. I use the method shared by @Dgallo. It's super easy and it works really well. I use a syringe to push 20ml through the PRV hole while pushing co2 into the keg at around 2 psi. I then swirl the beer inside the keg to make sure it mixes well. I don't think I'll...

Please share the outcome of this experiment! I've been toying with something similar, in fact just bought a packet of each of the three yeasts. I wish I had some feedback on your setup but I don't. Looks great to me, would love to see how this turns out and what works and things you would change.

I might have to try that next! it's been awhile since I've used Chinook. I really love that hop. Nice! Super clear brew! Did you use biofine?
