I gave it a shot. Wouldn't call it a clone- but inspired by easy jack (didn't exactly have all hops):
Batch size: 5.5 gallons
OG: 1.045
Efficiency: 72%
8 lbs pale malt (2-row). 82%
10 oz Munich malt 6%
6 oz c40L. 4+%
5 oz carapils. 3+%
5 oz wheat. 3+%
4 oz flaked oats. 1+%
WY1098 (British ale)
Hops: ALL AFTER BOIL
Motueka- .2 oz flameout
Citra- .125 oz at flameout
.125 oz whirlpool (170-180* for 10-15 min)
.25 oz whirlpool(155-170* for 10-15 min)
Mosaic- .25 oz flameout
.5 (170-180*)
.25 oz (155-170*)
Mandarina Bavaria- .5 oz (170-180*)
.5 oz (155-170*)
El dorado- same as Citra
Beersmith calculated roughly low-mid 40's IBUs
Smelled great. Chugging along good after 1 day
Plan on dry hopping with .5-1 oz mandarina Bavaria, maybe even touch of Citra and or el dorado
Im going to give this another shot either this weekend or next. Anyone done any attempts lately? I will be tweeking things and ill post my recipe once I get things where i want.
How'd color and stuff turn out?
How'd the English vs the California yeast compare?
I have brewed easy jack clone and beer turned out amazingly awesome, was wondering if anyone fermented with another yeast, was thinking of ferment with belgian strain for a session belgian ipa
This is the recipe from Jennifer Talley's "Session Beer" book. I remember reading an article when Easy Jack came out & Matt Brynildson said that Citra and a hop from New Zealand was used on the first batch of the beer brewed, & he had to trade Amarillo to get the hop, which I'm guessing was Nelson Sauvin. He said that the Citra & New Zealand hop played supporting roles. If I was to make the beer I would add a half ounce of each as part of the dry hop.
Clearly old school ipa as EJ is. To make it more NEIPAs triple the wheat/oat combo. Ax the boiling hops. Quadruple the WP/DH. Finally use another yeast 1318 or Connan strain.With all these late additions and whirlpool hops, aka the so called “New England IPA” technique, doesn’t that process produce a hazy beer? FWEJ is clear as a bell...

I brewed this a few years back and forgot about it. I can remember I liked it a lot.
I feel a re-brew coming on.....
