Oh that's good. I was worried I was going overboard with the hop additions since other similar recipes I found were using 3oz for a 5gal batch when I'm using 3oz for a 2.5gal batch... but it's a lot of 5min, flameout, dry hop so I was hoping it wouldn't be unbalanced.

Hey Guys, I've never made a SMaSH before but I figured I'd give it a try. I kind of modeled this from an APA I enjoy brewing (OG, IBU, ABV) but I'm not sure if this makes sense. I do BIAB 10L (3gal) batches. What do you guys think? SMaSH! APA American Pale Ale Recipe Specs ----------------...

That description sounds like exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Now all I have to do is figure out how to minimize oxygen exposure when I don't have a keg system... Bottling while trying to reduce O2 is going to be hard. I'm thinking that I'll pour my disolved priming-sugar-in-water...

I'm not familar with Treehouse or Trillium (not sure if we can get them where I am in Canada), but so far the NEIPAs that I've really enjoyed have had a thick, cloudy appearance, a bright colour kinda like orange juice with a soft mouthfeel. That's the kind of thing I'm going for. I checked out...

So I'm looking to brew my very first NEIPA, a style that I've really grown to love from local craft breweries over the last year. I gathered together 10 NEIPA recipes I found online, trying to find out what they have in common. After messing around with notepads on my kitchen table I realized...

... Great! Yeah, if I cut it down to 10g the official calc for bitterness drops to 55IBU but you're right that there will be *some* bitterness from the late additions. Sounds like we've got a recipe! I'll be sure to let you guys know how it turns out. I'll prep and measure today, brew...

Alright, here's experiment #1, no Willamette, moved Centennial to flame-out. That brings the IBUs down out of the stratosphere and evens things out. IPA Experiment American IPA Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L): 10.0 Total Grain (kg): 2.597 Total Hops (g)...

Alright, I moved the Centennial 13.5% to Dry Hop instead of Bittering - that drops the IBU into the 60-70 range and brings it closer to the amount of dry hops that mredge was talking about IPA Experiment 2 American IPA Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L): 10.0 Total...

I hadn't seen mredge's post, so in light of that I made some changes. I don't have a huge amount of Centennial (I've got a small amount of 13.5% AA and some 10.1%AA) so I did what I could with it. How's this? IPA Experiment 2 American IPA Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L)...

Okay, how about this? I'm doing 2.5gal (10L) Brew-in-a-bag. I used all my leftover Centennial and Chinook for bittering, then split my Amarillo, Citra and Willamette across 10min, 0min and Dry Hop. I don't have any carapils around, and the recipe Redtab linked had some Crystal in it so I threw...

I've been brewing (BIAB-style, all grain) for about a year now. Generally I've made Irish Reds, Belgian Wits, and the occasional seasonal like a Pumpkin Ale or a Cherry Chocolate Stout for Christmas. Lately I really got into drinking IPAs once I realized that they don't have to be giant...

What about a hop bill like this, should give 36.5IBU. I added 5g to my Willamette bittering charge at 60min, then I took 5g off each of my Aroma/Steep hops and moved it to the 10min instead to get a bit of IBU out of it Hop Bill ---------------- 20.0 g Willamette Pellet (6% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes...

Someone in the other thread commented that I've got a ridiculous amount of Crystal malt in there, and he's right. I went a little nuts trying to get rid of leftover grains and ended up with like 16% Crystal/Caramunich. Sadly I crushed the grain last night so... It looks like you can balance the...

Actually... crap. I forgot that I crushed all the grain last night, so I'm stuck with that. So... time to balance! It looks like you can balance the sweetness of a ridiculous amount of Crystal by upping the hops and playing with your water profile. Something like this guy did...

Hmm.. good point. I guess I went a little overboard with trying to use up leftovers. I'll cut out the C60 and we'll see how it turns out. Cheers

No bittering at all?! I've never even thought of that. How does that work out? Does it mess with the flavour balance of the beer?

So, through one accident and one fortunate happenstance I've ended up in a situation where I can have some fun improvising up a wheat brew! The Accident is that earlier in the summer I accidentally bought twice as much Pale Wheat Malt as I needed since I was looking at 5gal batch recipes...
