Back to back brews in one day - Pitched Wrong Yeast

[phendog]

Did two 5gal batches yesterday. a Simple IPA:
- 2 Row and Crystal 60
- .4oz of Cascade & Centennial & 2oz of Chinook at 60, 30, 15mins & Flame out

and, a Saison:
- Pilsner, Vienna, Wheat, & Caramunich
- 1.03 Fuggle at 30min
- 1.03 Styrian Golding at 10min

Had US-05 for the iPA and a 1.5L starter of WLP-565 for the Saison. Brewed the IPA first, got it into the fermenter and started to aerate the wort. Ran back into the garage and started the HLT for the Saison. Came back into the house, and guess what - ol' Phendog dumped the WLP-565 into the IPA instead of the US-05.

Realizing my mistake 15mins later while tending to my Saison brew, I figured I would have better luck using the same hop schedule as the IPA instead of the Fuggle and Styrian since I only had US05 on hand.

Any thoughts on how either of these will turn out???

The 'Belgian IPA' Will be delicous. I purpously do an IPA with Saison yeast once or twice a year but usually keep it to 55IBU

The Second one should resemble some sort of an English/American IPA??

I agree that the first one should turn out fine. You have created a Belgian Saison IPA. The second would be good also either way. They both are going to be different from what you started out to create.

Who knows you might have just created your two favorites!

Pilsner, Vienna, Wheat, and Caramunich is a pretty standard grain bill for an IPA these days. Sounds like you ended up using the same hops, did you do 45/30/15/flameout?

Honestly I am more concerned with the 2.4 ounces of bittering hops since Chinook and Centennial are fairly high AA hops. That's a pretty hefty bittering charge for sure. 30 and 15 minute additions will also contribute a lot of bitterness.

Both will end up fine if you like high IBU beers; you will have a standard high IBU IPA and a high IBU Belgian IPA.

Belgian IPAs were all the rage a few years ago before the haze craze came around. It should be pretty good I would imagine - you used a good strain of yeast for making a Belgian IPA so odds are in your favor for sure.

Not a huge fan of US05 but that's another story.

 

[phendog]

I used .4oz of Centennial & Columbus and .2oz of Chinook (1oz total combined) at 60, 30, 15 and flameout

That makes sense - you planning on dryhopping?

 

[phendog]

I will dry hop the batch with the US-05. .75oz each Cascade & Centennial & .5oz Chinook.

 

[aprichman]

I'd consider dry hopping the Belgian IPA too

 

[phendog]

what do you recommend? As you know, I used healthy additions of Centennial, Cascade and Chinooks during the brew. How about .5 Centennial, .5 Cascase and .25Chinook? Or, should I go heavier?

 

[aprichman]

I think 1-2 ounces would be fine, something like Citra or Amarillo would be really nice. Centennial and Chinook would probably be tasty as well.
