My thoughts ar ethe sculpin IPA Clone with Red Grapfruit Zest in a dryhop form, and some hibiscus for the bright red colour, i want it to look like red grapfruit juice. how much zest and how much hibiscus? For the hibiscus, how should it be added and in what form flower tea etc.

Any build pics? And can you explain the tap list on the back wall? Projector?

I wouldn't bother with the secondary, just primary for 2 weeks, leave it onthe yeast to clean up. dryhops thecrap out of it and enjoy. I managed to pick up some enigma, which should be nice in a beerlike this. Might have to give it a crack soon. I have a new house IPA recipe thats turned out...

Finally got around to this review. It's bloody good tbh. Very different hop profile to other IPA's out there. Is it like delicious IPA? Probably not ( I can't do a side by side). Lemon bite candied orange and some bitter grapefruit which is subtle. It really good. Finally starting to get IPA's...

That's what I did. I used sorachi at 20mins with Nelson at whirlpool and dryhop exclusively. Seems to work. I did dryhop sorach I on a farmhouse Ale which did wrk, but mostly because it played with the yeast rather well. Lemon and dill notes with spice and fruit.

Pitch 2 rehydrated. Give your yeast the best chance. For a 5G batch.

If I were you I';d make it a big Imoperial Cream ale or Blond Ale, it needs backboneto handle the whiskey etc I reckon, hence why I thought of Porter etc. I do agree that its a good idea to go lighter and more old fashioned -y . lastly I'm not planning cherries, orange and cherry with whiskey...

Just saw the price of angostura bitters.....I think I'll leave that alone for now. Lol. Sorachi is a great hop if used well and at the right time. It is quite powerful so a slight hand is probably a good idea. Personally I'm no longer a big citra fan, as it's in nearly every single beer on...

Has anyone used Angostura Bitters in a beer? Probably more late (my thoughts were to make a strongish oldfashioned type concoction and add to secondary). The concoction would be as follows: 200-250ml of bourbon 1 oak spiral sweet orange peel from 2 oranges 1 tsp of angostura bitters. I could...

Finally got around to brewing something similar. It changed a little from the above. This is what i used (mainly because I've never used 99% of these hops before. 85% PAle Malt 7.5% Vienna 7.5% Munich Mashed @ 65 deg C. 90 min boil 30g Chinook @ 60min 30g Azacca @ 20min 75g Lemon Drop @ 0min...

Sounds like a fun and interesting beer. Any recipe your willing to share?

I disagree - but thats what places like ratebeer an untappd are for, it allows you to give your vote/opinion on what you thought of the beer. it shows that many others like it (including me), but your entitled to your opinion of course, as am I. I particularly like the hop character being...

Sorry, I should've been a little clearer - i was thinking of soaking the oakchips in some bourbon and adding the whole mixture (the oak chips should add their own mark to the beer). Hmmmmm, a strong ale/old ale might be a better option, simplify the idea a littl, as you say the porter adds...

Here's the Crux of it. I recently entered the world of gentlemans cocktails, namely the "old fashioned" an old fashioned is as follows: "The Old Fashioned is a cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters, then adding alcohol, originally whiskey but now sometimes brandy, and finally a twist of...

Doing a little experiment over the next week or two. It's pretty tame but I've always been interested to see the effect certain hops may have at f/o. Specifically unique hops with less than typical descriptors. I've got v1 in now. V1- FWH: 30g Columbus. F/o: 80g Columbus. Dryhopped with the...

It's easily cleaned/fixed. I use my intertaps for all beers. They're great taps. First blockage last night.

Clutching at straws there mate. Most likely oxidation cause is poor transfer.

Sound delicious. Should be fine. Recipe??
