The Twelve Hopostles

A while ago there was a thread about naming some IPAs or somesuch. In that thread, the idea of Twelve Hopostles came up. I think this is an awesome idea and am planning to brew the twelve hopostles in 2010.

I am going to brew them all with the same malt bill, yeast, mash schedule, and fermentation schedule (might look similar to Yooper's IPA ). They will all be continuously hopped and dry hopped. The only difference will be the hop varietal used in the beers.

Each beer will be named after one of the original twelve apostles and I will try to come up with some kind of correlation between the apostle and the hop used. I have been nurturing this idea for a while and finally have the first label ready to show along with the first recipe.

I will save the first couple posts in this thread to update my recipes and labels.

I hope you will have some advice and comments for me. I also think it would be really cool if a couple of us got on board with this and could trade 12-packs of our twelve hopostles!!!



I give you, the Hopostles:
1. Andrew
2. Bartholomew
3. James the Greater
4. James the Lesser
5. John
6. Judas
7. Jude
8. Matthew
9. Philip
10. Simon Peter
11. Simon Zealot
12. Thomas

I first give you... Saint Andrew.

Brilliant! This is awesome.

Yeah, cool label.

I'm not sure what connections you can come up with. "Sons of Thunder" (John and James the Greater) get Zeus hops?

This is really great idea! Keep us posted on the others in the series!!

This is so cool!

I love this idea!!!

Seven of the twelve formulated and labeled. I can't wait to start brewing these!

Woah, nice

This would be a fun experiment to see what each hop does...but how about making a beer at the end that contains all 12?

THAT, I would brew.

Neat idea. Stupid Church nit to pick on a label to be theologically accurate. I know.. I know..

The nimbus/halo wouldn't be behind Judas Iscariot's head because he's not a saint or venerated by The Church.

I think a Jesus beer could be found at the end of this quest.

Good tip... why didn't I think of that. And why did this image of Judas have a halo int he first place?! Weird. Soon to be updated.

Click to expand...

You could make it black. That is in some iconography from the middle ages...... Others argue that the halo means power and that Judas did have, be it for good or evil. Or the "Judas" is reference to Jude aka Judas Not Iscariot aka Judas the Zealot

I should just keep my yap shut sometimes.

No way! That is the kind of feed back I was looking for. I think a black halo would be cool and go with my somewhat evil message on the back.

Awesome! But for the Judas one, I think you forgot the word 'that' before may tempt you...

Sweet! Thanks guys!!!!

Judas label is updated.

Whew. All 12 are up.

What do you guys think? Recipes look good? Good descriptions?

12 - 4 gallon batches... that's quite an undertaking. I think you're going to need some help in drinking all of those.

I agree that you should make a 13th combination of all of the hops. Maybe call it Rufus (for those of you not in the know, that's a reference to the movie Dogma). Or perhaps Matthias, the ACTUAL 13th apostle to replace Judas. Jesus is kind of an important dude too, maybe he could be the icon of the 13th beer.

And, not to start a heated debate based on another recent thread, maybe the 13th beer could be a direct blend of all the other 12.

All good ideas.

I will have to find partners in crime to brew all these. That is a lot of IPA! To be specific, it is 42 sets of the Twelve Hopostles!!!

Is Weyermann Cara Amber the same as Amber malt? Or should I go with Crisp Amber. These are the only 2 I have found. Thanks

+1 on jesus bein the 13th beer and all the hops

man, that is a stellar idea. my wife and i were kicking around names for a brewery and 'st. andrew's' came up, the st. andrew's ipa looks tasty! hell, they all do.

Click to expand...

No, they're not the same. Crisp's Amber malt would be a British Amber malt. Weyermann's is a caramel malt, so it has no diastatic power.

This is perhaps the coolest thing that I've seen on this board.

It'd have to be a CDA

For some reason...I felt Judas should have been a Black IPA

How come 5 of them are giving "The Shocker" sign?

Oh, Man...If only I had the time and funds to join you in making each of these beers. I definitely would've been in to swap 12 packs.

To update, I have not brewed any of these. I don't have a functioning brewery currently. However, one of my friends (HBT member sourmash) brewed St. Jude.



Note that the label design makes it very easy for you to substitute your brewery logo.

What yeast were you going to use on all of these?

I think I will use WY 1272 (Am. II). I like that yeast. Anything clean and Americano will work though.

how did I miss this before, what a great idea

and yes, Jesus should be a mixture of all the hops...don't really know who that would turn out but I am very curious about it!

Hey Boerderij, were these recipes formulated using whole or pellet hops? I'm thinking about brewing Saint Bartholomew for my birthday next month!

The recipes were designed for pellets.

Not sure why I didn't do this before, but the Beersmith files are now uploaded to the first posts.

You should add your desired yeast and some clarifying agent (I use whirlfloc).
