I'm still planning to run the blog and continue analyzing beers but I have three kiddos now and just haven't had the time. I'm hoping to dive back into it for 2024! Thanks for reading :)

It’s been 4 or 5 years since I brewed this recipe, what is the latest version? Or group consensus recipe? I went back 8 or 9 pages and didn’t see anything.

Some of you may have read my post on Ward Labs Mineral Analysis of Tree House Julius . . . Well for the sake of science (n=2) I tested a 2020 can and posted the results here: http://thirdleapbrew.com/technical/ward-labs-mineral-analysis-of-tree-house-julius-again/

Just wanted to let everyone know I followed up the Ward Labs mineral analysis with a second on a 2020 can of Julius and found some differences! http://thirdleapbrew.com/technical/ward-labs-mineral-analysis-of-tree-house-julius-again/

No recipe update, but I tested a second can of Julius via Ward Labs and got some different results from round 1! http://thirdleapbrew.com/technical/ward-labs-mineral-analysis-of-tree-house-julius-again/

Is the raspberrypints the best place to get started for a new set-up? I am in the process of building out my kegerator and wanted to take advantage of Rpints. If not, can someone point me to the most up to date post #? Thanks!

This level of potassium is not unexpected. Tonsmeire found similar levels in his own homebrew using no sulfites.

Apparent attenuation is around 76-78% as you noted. Caluclated OG is 1.069 Measured FG is 1.01454 Measured ABV is 7.10%

Based on the Ward Labs mineral analysis of Julius and Tonsmeire's n=1 experiment, I scaled the finished beer profile to approximate the starting water profile. This assumes A LOT but will hopefully get you in the ballpark. If we knew the grist on the other hand . . . Calcium (Ca) = 87 ppm...

Not sure if this has been mentioned either, but perhaps a significant protein source is coming from the hops? Stan Hieronymus states hops are 15% protein ... https://beerandbrewing.com/hops-oils--aroma-uncharted-waters/

I saw carafoam at the Monson brewery years ago, so they at least used to use it.

Great questions . . . that I don't have an answer to. 0.24 g/fl oz is the target, however you get there! Wish I had more answers, but this is a starting point.

Typo on SN Torpedo, I meant Celebration. Here is the most comprehensive list I could find, conveniently from SN https://sierranevada.com/beer-nutrition/ A couple interesting takeaways for me were Julius - 2.9g (per 12 oz to compare to beers below) / no flaked gains / 7.1% Kellerweis -...

Exactly. Tree House Julius = 0.24 g/fl oz Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA = 0.21 g/fl oz (pale and caramel malts only) with similiar ABV Widmer Hefeweizen = 0.18 g/fl oz (pale and wheat) with lower ABV Guinness Dry Stout = 0.12 g/fl oz (no wheat) with lower ABV

Yes, no idea which commercial NEIPAs (or West Coast IPAs) they tested, but still useful information to benchmark Julius against.

Based on Maye's research on NEIPA, tubridity was mostly comprised of protein (36%), hop compounds (15%) and polyphenols (3%). Julius has higher protein than most other beers I found Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA (0.21 g/fl oz), Widmer Hefeweizen (0.18 g/fl oz), and Guinness Dry Stout (0.12...

Yes, but only if you ignore turbidity and how it impacts the SRM assay. I wrote about it in more detail on my blog post, but in short, I would aim for a calculated SRM of 6-7 (via brewing software - which ignores turbidity) to achieve a measured SRM of 10.8.
