Clone recipe request: Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA

[andysk]

I'm new here, so please let me know if I posted in the wrong place or violated protocol!

I've been loving this new refreshing citrusy IPA from Deschutes and would love to brew a clone, but I've never formulated a clone recipe so I'd love some ideas. Here is the best information I've been able to find on it:

FRESH SQUEEZED IPA

When: May to September

What: Bond Street Series (22-ounce bottles and draft)
Like all of our Bond Street Series, this brew was formerly a pub-exclusive in our Bend and Portland locations. Our visitors loved this experimental brew so much, that we decided to bottle up its fresh-squeezed goodness for all to share. This Citra hop IPA is a “citrus bomb” in every way – flavor, aroma, you name it. Three types of malt, one type of bittering hop and a whole lot of Citra hops create a delicious offering.

Where: Available everywhere Deschutes is sold

Beer Geek Information: 6.5% Alcohol by Volume (ABV) | 60 International Bittering Units (IBUs) Malt: Pale, Crystal 60, Munich Hops: Nugget, Citra, Mosaic

Elsewhere it is mentioned that the Nugget is the one bittering hop which is no surprise.

Just found the following recipe which looks to be targeting this "fresh squeezed" - the name was apparently used by homebrewers before deschutes so some by the name are quite different. Any critiques on this one?:

I'll take critiques on either of those. I'm supposed to be brewing the recipe from the 2nd link this weekend.

So? How did it turn out?

 

[Wingfan13]

Absolutely love this beer so i am going to work on this. Let me know how others attempts work out.

Would This be an acceptable tasty brew?:

I would move the 20 minute additions to 15 min or less. I think you'll need more then 2 ounces of flavorhops too, but that's just me. Grain bill looks good.

I agree on both counts -- maybe move those to 15 and 10, and also hit it with a decent flameout addition (at least 2 oz), and a 2 oz dry hop.

 

[plankbr]

OK, so the hop additions have been bumped, not to 2 oz but more than the original:
HOPS:
0.5 oz - Nugget, Type: Pellet, AA: 13, Use: Boil for 60 min, IBU: 22.08
1 oz - Citra, Type: Pellet, AA: 11, Use: Boil for 15 min, IBU: 18.54
1 oz - Mosaic, Type: Pellet, AA: 12, Use: Boil for 15 min, IBU: 20.22
1 oz - Citra, Type: Pellet, AA: 11, Use: Boil for 0 min
1 oz - Citra, Type: Pellet, AA: 11, Use: Dry Hop for 5 days


Question?: Is 1/2 oz. Nugget for primary bittering enough? Will that have a good balance for the Citra and Mosaic to stand up to?

 

[user 50046]

So? How did it turn out?

Turned out a touch sweet but it could have been the thermometer. Was off by 3 degrees on the mash.
I'd add even more flame out hops also.

Yeah its plenty. Some Brewers only do 3 or 4 ibus for the early addition and get great beers. I forgot to mention that id use a lower srm munich, maybe 10L.

I was planning on this right after my Hazelnut nectar clone. Love the beer and called Deshcutes about the hop additions and you're pretty much spot on. Always thought the fresh squeezed meant fresh hopped since it was only a seasonal, but they told me it was in reference to the freshsqueezed fruit flavor. Strange but I def prefer it to the fresh hopped Amarillo exclusive Chasin Freshies (which was alright but I must gravitate to citra, and mosaic over amarillo) I even pre-ordered 3 lbs of each citra and mosaic + a lb of nugget just to prep for repeat brewing! Was planning on WLP 002, but would appreciate any suggestions, Cheers!

Since you'll have a good amount of hops, I'd recommend using more like 8 oz. Total with more late additions and more dry hops. I don't think the recipe here has quite enough. It's an American ipa. It needs more flavor and aroma than this recipe will deliver.

 

[kennyg]

Thought I'd bump this thread. I love this beer and have been making something v similar except using 1.25oz Chinook as FWH but otherwise hop schedule similar (I've got 5 gallons bubbling away now). Think I'll try out one of your suggestions, I've got loads of citra and Mosaic just need some nugget. I also think that 1/2 oz nugget might'nt be enuf for bittering.

 

[morbster]

Tried the fresh-squeeze IPA for the first time this past week, and I immediately knew that I had to find a clone of this recipe. It's incredible.

Anyway, I'm just bumping this thread to keep it alive and also to suggest anybody who's brewed this to submit pics (I'm also curious about the use of crystal 60L).

im brewing this today.

 

[volsfan5012]

Sounds like a good recipe. The Fresh Squeezed bottle mentions a touch of honey malt. It might be a good ideal to add a small amount to give that lingering sweetness.

plankbr... your recipe looks good! Have you done a side by side comparison?

te-wa... let us know how she tastes, keep us posted.

[te-wa]

will do. for starters, i added a full oz of nugget at FW. cooled to 70 w/ immersion coil, ran out of ice, pitched s-05 and brought it down to 67.
local weather here is in high 70's, i have 3 brews in differing stages of development, all will be ready in a month or so.. life is GOOD!

thanks for posting the recipe. sounds and looks like a WIN.

I haven't done a side-by-side since it's not available in Cincinnati. Just as close as I can remember from being at their brewpub in Portland.

 

[FreddyMar3]

I'm very interested in this one as well. Dying to hear some feedback on the most recent brew when it's done.

 

[te-wa]

quick update: brewed 14 days ago, just racked to keg on an ounce of citra. i'll dry hop for 5 days, then cold crash on gas.

1.065 - 1.012 (7% abv)
its got some great chewy oranges going on. the citra leaf should make this thing scream.
she gonna be good!

 

[morbster]

Nice man. Looking forward to a comparison in a couple weeks.

I don't see this anywhere on the bottle. The "homebrew recipe" on their site just lists pale, C-75, and Munich.

Are you guys all using chico yeast? This seems to be about the only one of their brews where they list American ale, so they must not be using their house strain which I understand is close to wyeast's Ringwood. I still seem to taste some fruity esters though in the Fresh Squeezed. Maybe WL051/1272?

I agree that I've never seen mention of any honey malt in their recipe.

Not sure on the yeast strain though.

Awesome, that's a start at least. Doesn't seem like Chico is a bad choice either.
