I am just getting ready to start home brewing. I have been researching for the last year, trying to gain some knowledge before I jump in.
Over that time I have really fallen in love with NE style IPAs. Especially trillium brews like congress st and fort point ale. I have seen some recipes that look to clone these beers but wonder, is this something out of reach for a beginning brewer?
Below is one sample recipe i found. I dont fully understand it all at this point, but should give a ballpark of what I am looking to brew.
EDIT: Updated recipe with exact one JC from Trillium wrote up in a magazine that someone posted. Only subbing a Light DME from the recommended Golden LME.
Fort Point Clone
6 lb Muntons Light DME
1 lb Briess Bavarian Wheat DME
4 oz Briess Carapis Malt
4 oz British crystal 22°L
0.25 oz Columbus Hops @ 60 min
0.75 oz Columbus Hops @ 10 min
1 tsp irish moss @ 10 min
2oz Columbus at hop stand @ 180° for 30’
Wyeast British Ale 1098 Yeast @ 68°. Dry hop as krausen begins falling (day 4-5). (Or try 1056) (or WY 1318)
4oz Galaxy + 1 oz Columbus dry hop (after 4-5 days)
Site for 5 days then bottle.
4 0z? Corn Sugar Priming sugar how to make?
bottle - let sit 10-14 days
