- Tasting Notes
- Nice citrus notes, very similar to (to me anyways) Stone Levitation
A few weeks ago, my 10 year old son fell and busted his head open. I ended up spending 3 hours with my ex-wife in an emergency room with my son. In an attempt to avoid talking to my ex-wife, I decided to design a new beer. This is the beer that I designed, thus, I named it Noggin Splitter IPA. It's a great beer, and I would have to say it's probably the best one I've brewed to date!! It's been a while since I've had Stone Levitation, but as far as I can recall it tastes pretty close to that! Here it is:
Grainbill:
9# 2-Row (US)
2# White Wheat
1# Crystal 60L
.5# CaraPils
Hop schedule:
Columbus 14.4% 1 oz @ 60 min
Citra 13.4% .5 oz @ 15 min
Citra 13.4% .25 oz @ 5 min
Citra 13.4% .25 oz @ flameout
Citra 13.4% 3 oz dryhop for 7 days
Finings:
Irish Moss @ 15 min
Gelatin in secondary for 7 days
Mash:
16 qts @ 152* for 60 min
Sparge (double):
8.5 qts @ 185* Stir, vorlauf, drain
8.5 qts @ 185* Stir, vorlauf, drain
After primary fermentation, I transferred to secondary, added the 3 oz of dry hops, and crashed to 40*. After 1 week, I took the hops out, added gelatin, and let set for another week and then kegged. This is an amazingly good beer. Even SWMBO, who is a recently converted "good beer" drinker, really like this one!!
EDIT: Just noticed I posted the wrong yeast!! (Apparently I had one too many pints of this before posting the recipe!!) The yeast should be Wyeast 1450, Dennys Favorite 50.
