I definitely like the idea of honey malt versus honey, though I've never heard of that...
I just was turned off when a co-worker OD'd on the honey in his hefe and really turned me off...

 

[the_bird]

I'm leaning towards a honey pale ale. Light and summery. OG ~ 1050 - 1055, not too big. Maybe use a pound of honey to dry it out, along with a couple ounces honey malt. Maybe some Vienna for character. 40 IBUs or so.

What to hop it with, though?...

Hell, I think I'm going to get a head start on this...

 

[Engelramm]

what about a white beer, something like a Blanc De Chambly?

My vote!



Or a Hefe

Or a Pale

I'm just happy to get to do it this year.

Amarillo is the popular thing. 100% would make for a tasty hot summer mow job!
But it must be well balanced with some good malt flavor...

 

[the_bird]

I used some Amarillo in my last IPA - very nice.

 

[Desert_Sky]

Honey Pale Ale!

or a roasted honey pale ale.

toast maybe a pound or so of the 2 row


You guys are talking Amarillo. Well Ive done a honey amarillo once....that was pretty damn good

 

[sause]

7lb 2row
.7 cara-pils
.7 crystal 30
.7 munich 10
.7 honey
puts us at the top og of the apa style and around 7 srm

 

[alemonkey]

I'd suggest a Belgian Wit....I'm thinking of doing one this summer, with a little sour mash added to give it some tartness.

 

[olllllo]

I like the idea of having no input on this whatsoever.

Just tell me what to brew dammit.

 

[dibby33]

WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT 1 F'ING MINUTE . . .
which homebrew store around here has a hottie?

Mine does. It is run by women. Three of them, never seen a male behind the counter.

EDIT : Is the 070707 beer one that we all make using the same recipe?

 

[Dude]

my opinion is to use honey malt and not regular honey.

Why, may I ask?

7lb 2row
.7 cara-pils
.7 crystal 30
.7 munich 10
.7 honey
puts us at the top og of the apa style and around 7 srm

I'm REALLY liking this....

 

[the_bird]

Is that .7 honey or .7 honey malt?

 

[Cheesefood]

How about 7 types of grains, 7 types of hops, and something else 7 related?

 

[sause]

Is that .7 honey or .7 honey malt?

Honey, honey malt will make it darker.

 

[the_bird]

1070 OG
70 IBUs
7 hop additions (60, 15, 10, 5, ,2, 0, dry)
7 kinds of hops (Chinook, Centenial, Cascade, Amarillo, Sorachi Ace, Simcoe, Magnum)
7 grains (Pale malt, Munich, Crystal 10, Crystal 40, TDB, TDB, TDB)

 

[Glibbidy]

1070 OG
70 IBUs
7 hop additions (60, 15, 10, 5, ,2, 0, dry)
7 kinds of hops (Chinook, Centenial, Cascade, Amarillo, Sorachi Ace, Simcoe, Magnum)
7 grains (Pale malt, Munich, Crystal 10, Crystal 40, TDB, TDB, TDB)

That looks kinda complicated, however I'm not scared.

I vote for fuggles as the kettle hop, or something noble....EKG, then move onto the freaky stuff,?

 

[the_bird]

I guess I'm torn; I like the idea of a light summer ale, but by the time it's ready, it'll be late August.

 

[the_bird]

Just wait until NEXT year...

What else for grains?

Honey, honey malt (you have to use the 2 together, IMHO), and some wheat for head retention?

In an APA?

 

[Glibbidy]

Whatever will get us to 7 SRM, so that means.....who has some of that fancy software?
malted wheat for sure, add some pilzzzzzz!

 

[the_bird]

Does honey count as a grain? Suppose it does.

Hitting 7 SRM would be damn cool...

 

[Glibbidy]

fuggles is the best neutral hop i can think of. Get the 30 IBU's oit of the fuggles then, work towards the nose, aroma, mouthful, and what not. I casn smell the bouquet right now.

schnizzle will be light in color.

 

[Dude]

I'm thinking we should replace the Sorachi with Columbus....might be more readily available for everyone. Also, should we stick to American hops? Magnum isn't american is it?

 

[Pumbaa]

EDIT : Is the 070707 beer one that we all make using the same recipe?

yeah we did the same thing for 06/06/06 . . .
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=6808

it was a beast and a great beer, I still have some left and they still getting better

 

[Dude]

How about victory malt instead of Munich?

 

[the_bird]

At 70% efficiency, 10# of pale malt, .7# of everything else except the honey malt, 2oz of honey malt, and subbing in Crystal 20 for Crystal 40, gets me to 1071 and 7.5 SRM. That's just a start, but we could make this happen. Maybe Vienna instead of Munich.

 

[sause]

7lb 2-row
.5lb Cara-Pils
.5lb Crystal 30
.5lb munich 10
.5lb honey malt
.5lb wheat malt
1lb honey

Gives you 7 fermentables, at 7.2 srm.

 

[Glibbidy]

Iv'e never gotten freaky with sorachi. Columbus on the other hand, is easy to find.....but then again i guesss there is mail order.

I forgot about Columbus, and I have never used Magnum; that was kind of out of mya ss (I think NB may have described it as "Citrusy")

It's going to be basically 4th of July weekend - all American ingredients, I say.

 

[AleHole]

I vote for a HEFE. Thats a great summer beer. Ok so its settled then. HEFE it is.

 

[Glibbidy]

7lb 2-row
.5lb Cara-Pils
.5lb Crystal 30
.5lb munich 10
.5lb honey malt
.5lb wheat malt
1lb honey

Gives you 7 fermentables, at 7.2 srm.

I like this. 7,2 is close enough, but can you conver it to percentages? 7% of this and....

 

[Torchiest]

Hmm, I usually don't like honey in beer, but it's usually in a brown ale - and that's not my favorite style so... this sounds good!

2oz of honey malt and Sorachi dry-hop - Breakfast beer!

Heh, why not add some oatmeal, make it a real braekfast beer?

 

[the_bird]

We're on the right track now, definately. Still a summer brew, but with a kick.

 

[sause]

I like this. 7,2 is close enough, but can you conver it to percentages? 7% of this and....

68% 2-row
5% Cara-pils
5% Crystal 30
5% Munich 10
5% Honey Malt
5% Wheat malt
7% Honey

 

[texasgeorge]

I love Willamettes; Mild and American.

I'd also like to see Northern Brewers in there.

My american 7-hop blend: Cluster (60m), Amarillo (30m), Simcoe (30m), N Brewer (20m), Willamette (20m), Centennial (10m), Cascade (10m). Flame out or Dryhop as you prefer.

I went for combos that work well together as same-time hop additions. I'll let someone else adjust the quantities for IBU efficiency. Thoughts?

 

[Dude]

I think we are flirting with trouble by making it so big.....1.070 will be just getting good by the time we are ready to start planning 08.08.08!!!

 

[the_bird]

It's not THAT big, though. It's still IPA territory, not I-IPA. It'll be peaking by early fall, I would think.

 

[Dude]

ok...........................

 

[sause]

My reciepe is only 1.057. That should not take forever to condition. It a little high for a apa, and on the low end of aipa.
