Anyone drop the cara-pils in this recipe. Seems like a lot of crystal (for my tastes anyway) already. I usually like my IPAs no higher than 1lb of crystal.
14.5# American Two Row
1.3# Cara-Pils
1.3# Crystal 40
.50# Munich
Mash for 60 minutes at 152. 90 minute boil.
Hop Additions:
90 Min- .50 oz Chinook (11.5% AA)
.50 oz Simcoe (12% AA)
60 Min- .25 oz Chinook
.25 oz Simcoe
30 Min- .25 oz Chinook
.25 oz Simcoe
15 Min- .75 Simcoe
.75 Chinook
.50 Amarillo (11.5%)
10 Min- 1 oz. Cascade (5.8%)
O Min- .50 Chinook
.75 Simcoe
Dry Hop- 2 oz. Amarillo
1.5 oz. Cascade
.5 oz Chinook
1 oz. of American Medium Toast Oak Cubes is added at the same time you pitch your yeast. I did this the first time as an experiment and man I think it makes a contribution in smoothness and just enough of a hint in the taste.
I did it the second time and got the same great results again. I only let it sit on the oak for 14-17 days until I'm ready to package the beer. Dry hops were all added to the primary after 7 days or obvious fermentation had settled down.
This recipe is based on the Green flash West Coast IPA on the Brewing Network "Can you Brew It" show. I changed around the hop schedule and made some additions and I can't get enough of this beer.
I've brewed it twice now and it is extremely drinkable. I brew a lot of IPA's but this is by far my favorite. The aroma is SO orange and citrusy. That's why I'm being a dork and calling it fresh squeezed.
If you give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.
Looks like the IBU's are very high , so it actually might not matter.
Has anyone done a split batch with and without the oak cubes? I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to order them seeing as how I have everything else in stock. Thanks!
This swap sounds interesting. Was listening to a talk at the recent NHC. Long and short was that Amarillo is a bit harsh as a bittering hop. When i made this beer i found it to be a bit harsh in the bittering. I would be interested to hear how this turns out
Wondering how many people think this is a recipe for the Deschutes beer...
So I've made my first beer this weekend. I used a starter kit so I really didn't have to do much. As a second step, I've been searching beer recipes and really want to try this one out. Since it's my first time buying the ingredients and converting the sizes I've got some questions.
1) What IU is this recipe in? Imperial or US?
2) If I'm not mistaken, this is the grain mixture which is weighed in oz right?

1.3# Cara-Pils

.50# Munich
3) Rehydrated yeast can be any?
4) Is it very hard to boil the wort in diferent pans and put it all together? I'm thinking about making a bigger batch and but I can't afford to get a big pan at the moment.
I really enjoyed making beer this weekend, can't wait to try new recipes
What I meant in IU is if the measurments were in imperial gallons or us gallons. I thought IU was the abreviation of international units.This may be a little too difficult for your first time doing all grain brewing. And it sounds like you haven't acquired the equipment you need, such as a mash tun and boil kettle. No, you can't boil the wort in different kettles.
I don't know what your reference to IU is. IBU is a measure of bitterness, resulting from the specific hop additions in the recipe.
The grain bill is measured in pounds, not ounces.

I went to the Dr the other day. He had a paper for meds... All I could think of was IBU, not IU.
I found another Fresh Squeezed clone recipe on AHA but instead of using Chinook/Simcoe/Amarillo hop combo used in this recipe, the AHA recipe uses a Mosaic/Citra combo. For those that have tried the real thing &/or brewed this clone, what are your thoughts on the Chinook/Simcoe/Amarillo combo verses the Mosaic/Citra combo??
Read the last couple of sentences in the first post, this is not a Deschuttes Fresh Squeezed clone recipe.
THIS is though, on my list to brew...
I can confirm that this is a worthy IPA recipe... The only thing I changed is a late 5 minute addition of citra just because I love that hop and the results are off the charts good.
