The one time I used I7 in a single hop I didn't get any overly dank character from it. It was straight up orange. But hops do vary lot to lot so maybe I just got a fruitier lot of it. I'm thinking of those combos because I have a lb each of CTZ, I7, Vic Secret, Summit, Enigma, Nelson, and...

Has anyone tried the combos: Vic Secret + Idaho 7 Idaho 7 + Summit Idaho 7 + Summit + CTZ

I did not get quantities, the only recipe info I got was from observation, shortly after we got interrupted by the beer tasting! Donovan’s Red, Light, Dark, Luscious, and one day old cans of Rapture! Such a fantastic tour!

That I don’t know, and I honestly don’t think it’s that important to us homebrewers. Something from 15 min to flameout will probably get you in the ballpark, but you may need to use some hop extract/60 min hops to make up the bitterness that they are getting. What I do know for sure is that it...

On their system I believe it was a flameout/beginning of whirlpool addition. On our scale it would probably translate to a 10-15 minute addition.

I took a tour of the new brewery in October ‘19 and had the same experience. Only thing in the store room was Fawcett Pearl and dextrose. I can say with 99.99% certainty based on what I saw during that tour that Focal and Rapture are both single malt beers with Fawcett Pearl and dextrose. Three...

It is still my favorite beer of theirs to date. They didn’t have any when I was out in Vermont last year, so the last time I had it was two years ago. My initial guess at the hop profile from a couple of years ago is listed in the original post. I wrote that while drinking a can of crusher and...

I do pretty much exactly what you’re describing. I added a TC Reducer, butterfly valve, and a T to the top of my lid on my conical. That way, i can always close the valve before i open any ports/change hoses around and all I have to do is purge that T instead of the entire headspace. For dry...

Best NEIPA hop combo's I've tried so far, in order of preference: Galaxy/Columbus Enigma Single Hop (would also go well with columbus) Mosaic/Simcoe/Amarillo Citra/Apollo

After: -Going all grain (using the freshest ingredients possible) -Switching to kegging -Implementing Active Fermentation temperature control (ie. A freezer, glycol, etc...) -learning water chemistry -pitching active healthy yeast (starters) The thing that helped the quality of my beer most...

I never did try to brew this recipe. I was fortunate to get back out to The Alchemist this year again and got to try Rapture as well. Fantastic beer, but Crusher is still my favorite!

German Hersbrucker/Saphir/Tradition are my personal favorites, but any of the more mild hops (Mittelfruh, Tettnang, Saaz, Mt. Hood, Liberty, etc...) would be great in the style! Continental lagers are most definitely making a comeback!

I think 40% corn is way too high for coors banquet. I wouldn’t be surprised if the original had 10% or less. For coors light, 40% adjuncts is probably about right. I am intrigued about your high gravity brewing and diluting process though, I may have to go check that out. While it is true...

There definitely aren’t any late hops in the beer. In fact, if you brew it low oxygen, there may be too much hop character with just the FWH addition and you would need to sub in some hop extract. Edit: That said, I am a fan of a small 15 minute and small flameout addition in my variation on...

Coors is my Dad’s favorite beer. I’ve spent the better part of 2 years and a dozen or so batches trying to get it nailed down. I got very close before I deviated into my own thing. The best starting point for you is: RO/Distilled water. Add enough CaCl to get to 50ppm calcium. No other...

It was much more intense/tropical fruit forward in the same vein as Galaxy/Mosaic.

I would use WLP029 (Kölsch) or 2565 to help accentuate the “wine” aspect of those hops. As for the hops, yes Nelson is very potent, as is Enigma. I didn’t get much wine character from enigma when I used it a single hop ipa. I would probably just stick with Nelson and blanc to get the...

Agreed. Warsteiner is probably just soft water; 90/10 Weyermann Pilsner/Munich II to 1.045; and a single addition of noble hops around 40-45 minutes to get to 28-30ibu. Then cold pitch a metric s*** ton of 34/70 and ferment at 48F until spunding.

Seconded. Just straight Denali/Citra would be a good combo too.

Regardless, this is kind of a fun topic!
