I know I’m digging up an older thread but I’m back to revisit this one. I brewed this recipe three years ago as one of my first all grain brews. It was delicious then and I’m looking forward to brewing it again, having a lot more experience under my belt since brewing it the first time.
If anyone has any updates or suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
I'm going to try this recipe very soon too.
Could actually be this weekend depending on how my starter for a Hop Hands clone goes.
I had some A38 yeast in a jar in the fridge for about 5 months and wanted to make a starter but it tasted a bit off/sour.
Not sure if it's because it's old and oxidized or if something is in there that shouldn't be.
I'll see what the starter tastes like in a few days and decide then.
If the starter is a fail then I will use good old US-05 and make a Nelson clone instead.
First time brewing it so no tips only that I might leave out the acid malt and use lactic acid to get the right PH instead.
What would be a good water profile for this brew? Just a normal west coast IPA profile?
Will report back after the weekend
