1.200 20%+ 120 Minute IIPA

[sirsloop]

GET YOUR DRUG DEALER ONNNNN!!!

1.5oz Simcoe (pellet)
1.5oz Warrior (pellet)
1.5oz Amarillo (whole)

How to split it into 40 equal parts? IT BLENDS!

132g of weed...err... HOPS!

~3.3g per cup

Notice I put the dixies in bar glasses... this is so they don't blow away! This is why you brew (largely) sober!

I'm gonna use a spray bottle to clean out the cups to reduce hop loss...

 

[sully]

this is sweet keep it up!

 

[sirsloop]

Mash out comin up... firing 3.25 gallons in two seperate pots, stove top. Quad Burner Action baby!

 

[Danek]

Fantastic! This is like watching Dr Frankenstein at work!

[sirsloop]

HA! First runnings are nearly done... just about 18.5 brix... or 1.074 pre boil. I have a little more wort to collect, so I should be pretty dead on to my 1.071 pre boil gravity.

2oz of Summit is in the bucket...

 

[Coastarine]

This is pretty sweet.

 

[sirsloop]

the bulk of the work is done (for now)... time to relax a little and treat myself...

BWAAHAHAHAHAH... wishing you were here????

 

[sirsloop]

ok... on cruise control for the next 90 minutes or so... I guess I'll do the dishes, play a little guitar, drink some more... pretty much done until its time to proof the yeast and drop in the chiller...

Notice my EKG all ready for a productive 2009... gotta replant them in larger pots this year. Any drag racers out there?

 

[Bobby_M]

Damn, that cooler is sexy.

 

[sirsloop]

Hey... it leaked with water, but the mash must have plugged it up... no leaking...

Wanna stop by and crack open a bottle?

I have homeade truffles too...lol...some are coconut and curry, and the rest are classic cocoa topping...

 

[sirsloop]

spur of the moment partigyle!! HAHA... 3 more gallons of water are firing in the kitchen. I plan on making around 2.5 gallons of brew outta this. Tomorrow I'm making another HUGE Imperial Porter... so together they'll make some sort of porter/brown ale. Leftovers ale. Why not? I paid for the grain...

I hear you there - I am trying to always plan a partygyle on beers above 1.08

Hahaha, noticed those slicks right off. Don't drag race much, but I do take my car (05 GTO) to the track after every mod (none in last 2 years). Of course living on Long Island means I have a long drive to E-town or Atco.

Great thread, had to subscribe to this one. Almost drank my bottle of 120 min I have, but resisted the urge and instead cracked open a 750 ml bottle of Chimay Tripel.

 

[sirsloop]

Well drink up and on your way to etown stop into the liquor store behind kmart on rt18s and get a 2006 120 min. replacement

 

[sirsloop]

I tell ya what... the hardest part about this brew was drinking an entire bottle of Insanity, then trying to remember what time put my last hop addition in at! HAHAH!! I'm kinda wingin it at this point... well ... whatever works out to be 5 gallons is right I got a second brew goin now too... I just tossed an ounce of saaz in there... figure 60 minutes on that and whatever... i'll drop in some notty and call that a day. I'll add more to it tomorrow...

 

[Saccharomyces]

Very cool. Keep us updated.

 

[sirsloop]

Chiller is in, Servomyces and whirlfloc is about to get added....

 

[steelerguy]

Hahaha, brew day getting a bit long huh? Can't wait to see how this monster ferments! Keep the pictures up!

I'll have to keep that in mind when my 69 Camaro is done and time to hit the track!

 

[sirsloop]

indeed... stop down to etown and i'll make a trip over ...

 

[reim0027]

I look forward to this thread. Especially when sirsloop is the most recent poster. Then I know I get an update. Keep 'em coming man!

 

[sirsloop]

Last addition... servomyces and whirlfloc went in...

~1.096 OG...

 

[Bobby_M]

I would have hung out but my kids are up at the inlaws so it's couples night in.

 

[sirsloop]

There's always tomorrow Bobby... unless you are working. My coworker should be over too for the Club Imperial Porter brew...

 

[sirsloop]

flame out, chiller is on.... gotta work fast to ward off DMS...

 

[sirsloop]

Brew is done... came out to 1.091. I'm .02 short of my target OG, which works out to 74% efficiency. Considering I brew an entire second batch of beer outta this grain no hearts were broken. I have 2.5 gallons of wort chilling now that will get added to another 2.5 gallons tomorrow.

 

[Jonnio]

it's couples night in.

And keepin up with the HBT threads

I laugh because I do it too

 

[sirsloop]

Bubbling along nicely now... I guess the three packets of US-05 are kickin ass!

 

[Bobby_M]

I thought you were brewing a full batch as a starter.

 

[sirsloop]

I'm using US-05 to chew through the malt portion. It should reduce off flavors imparted by the WLP099. I have a full 5 gallon starter of WLP099 ready to rock when I start adding the dextrose.
