Anyone brewed this beer from AustinHB? I have one comin'... my brother-in-law is dying for it so he funded the mission... they are running a $25 off sale on it too over there... 17 oz of hops ;p I can smell it from MD and it's still in TX...
According to Russian River it should be 100 IBU.
I'm brewing this a week from Saturday, this week I'm brewing a Boddington's Bitter Clone from AHS.
The 2.75 oz Warrior @ 15.4% AAU for 90 minutes gives 143.7 IBU's by itself.
Got it all the way down to 232 IBU by adjusting the Chinook mash hop.
I cannot wait till my kit arrives
BTW, which yeast did you choose? I chose the WLP001 just because I never have had a bad experience with it. I never used the Wyeast before...
My kit was delivered today.
17 oz of hops sounds like a lot until you get them and than you realize it's more than I thought.
After punching the recipe into BeerSmith - 243.7 IBU.
I got the Wyeast, I use it all the time but the geniuses of HBT have me making starters now so for this particular monster brew I'll make a giant starter... What is the OG on the kit?
Hmm, you think they screwed up the hops schedule? Should it be 60 min on the Warrior? Is their hops schedule based on a full boil? You're doing AG, right? The kit is for 5 gal. so for me that means about a 7.75 gal. boil, esp. with as much trub as this pup is gonna throw.
Beer only holds about 100 IBU or so, from what I've gathered. One can put in lots more hops, but when tested, the bittering value doesn't increase much.
So, we should probably not worry if Beersmith showing IBU's much higher? Cause the final beer can't be more than 100 anyway?
8.0 ABV, and 1.071 O.G. 100 IBU is what the actual Pliny is according to their website... so the clone is close... probably could remove a tad of the sugar and get 1.071 no problem...my instruction sheet says OG 1.074 FG 1.014
(is it a first wort or a mash hops)...
One more initial q, the brewsheet says not to run off more than 6.25... why?
I've noticed this in the directions for all the AHS all grain kits. I think it's intended to be a generic guideline and something that doesn't have to be followed all the time. Especially for this situation. I myself did this kit and realized just like you that I needed much more than 6.25 gallons preboil for a 90 minute boil. :rockin:
