Yup, that's the real PTE recipe.

hio3791 · Apr 18, 2015

Brewed this Thursday night. OG was 1.066. Intense hop aroma! Pitched 2 packets of bry-97 and fermenting at 60F, it's already going pretty good! Can't wait!

ultravista · Apr 18, 2015

Never used BRY-97, hope it's like 001 or 56.

Went from 1.066 down to 1.010. Kegged last night. Aroma was amazing! Still bitter, a few weeks in keg will mellow bitterness down. Past the bitterness, the flavor was wonderful, intense citrusy flavor and aroma. Should make a fantastic beer once chilled and carbed. Can't wait!!

BRY-97 is Danstar's version of the West Coast (Chico) strain, just like 001 and US05.

Just ordered the kit from Farmhouse and believe it or not, they are out of US-05

And another goes in the primary. 6 weeks until heaven arrives in earth.

Took sample to local homebrew supply store. Brewmaster said it was the best he's tasted. A bit dryer then original. No credit to me, but nice having direct feedback. Since my experimental DIPA is ho hum, Pliny's on the brew schedule.

PackerfaninSanDiego · May 17, 2015

just finished my brew....OG 1.078.......it tasted kinda bitter.......hope it mellows out some

It will..trust me. After a few weeks, id have the mind set of tossing it. Then, amazingly, a couple weeks later would become the best beer ever brewed.

Lpera · May 26, 2015

Guys, where I live there is no corn sugar, do you think it would be possible to switch with refined cane sugar?

PackerfaninSanDiego · May 26, 2015

Never seen this "soapy" looking stuff before.....I used US-05..........normal?

Plenty of online sites. Northern Brewer for example.

<-- Brazil!

So not an option unfortunately...will replace with table sugar.

Thanks for everyone who has contributed to this forum. It takes a while to digest all the information. I'm planning to try a clone at this and tried to suck in all the information I could about this recipe and others' experiences. I'll chime back in when I can do a comparison, but in the mean time here is my summary of the the PTE recipe on my own little blog page.

Btaz,

The link you provided for your blog seems to be dead. Can you post your summary? In particular, I'm looking for the water profile that you used.

Thanks in advance!!

My Web server is back up and my link should be working again. Here is the water profile I used

Calcium (CA) 76
Magnesium (MG) 13
Sodium (NA) 9
Bicarbonate (HCO3) 26
Sulfate (SO4) 133
Chloride (CL) 56

crusader1612 · Jun 16, 2015

All the way from NZ. I am just polishing off a bottle of this. I now understand the hype behind it. The pioneering beer of IPA/IIPA. Well made. The only time I'll ever get to try it but just superb.
Tbh the whole RR Range is phenomenal. Sours are particularly well made.

Thanks for sharing. Been going back and forth between brewing a blond, RIS or Pliny tomorrow. Pliny won out.

GnenieGone · Jun 17, 2015

Overboiled. Will probably be around 9% range. Hoppy and bitter as $hit...perfect!

Beersmith put my estimated OG at 1.071... We celebrated after it was hit.

Russian River's PEC is advertised as 1.071 og too... what am I missing...?

Ya, the wort was 140F when the picture was taken. It eventually settled at 1.080.

GnenieGone · Jun 18, 2015

I had an open bag of mosaic. So put .3oz fwh and .4 during whirlpool. My recipe is slowly morphing from a true clone, but that's how we roll as HB'ers.

Oh and used your mineral profile. Thanks Btaz!

Lpera · Jun 19, 2015

Mine is going to the keg tomorrow, hit the OG and FG right at te spot...the smell is fantastic!!! Great chances to be the best of all my brews!

Thanks for the recipe!

PackerfaninSanDiego · Jun 21, 2015

well today was the day I bottled......35 days later. FG was 1.020.......hope it's not too sweet. But in the beginning, it took along time for the cake to fall. Two weeks from now.........???

Well buddy, that sounds way high. If you prime, you're likely to get bottle bombs... But at the same time, what are you going to do? Prime light... Very light...

well after two weeks in the bottle I'll try one, if it's good stuff. I'll put all the bottles in refrigeration .

GnenieGone · Jun 21, 2015

Agree with cannman. Error on the low side of priming sugar. Been there..you do not want that.

Wait...is that a hop smoothie!?

GnenieGone · Jun 25, 2015

Yumm, hop smoothy, good idea! Pliny came out at 9.2%. Finished at 1.010, driest beer I've ever made. Seems too dry. Anyway 1st dry hop completed.

Edit: keg sample great as usual.

ptran86 · Jul 7, 2015

I brew mine last Friday (7/3), as of last night, 3 days later, there is sign of fermentation but the bubbler isn't bubling. Should I be concern? I've seen video and read comments of people having issue with too strong of fermentation.

I pitched 1.5L yeast starter at 80ish degree. I used Wyeast 1056.

GnenieGone · Jul 7, 2015

Bucket? Maybe lid is not on tight. Give it a day or 2 then check gravity.
