Columbus Brewing Bodhi Clone

[pwessinger]

I have brewed 2 different versions of this recipe and both have far exceeded my expectations. I struggle to get consistent efficiency but the last time I ended up right at 9% which was my goal. I added an extra 1.5oz of Citra for the 180 degree whirlpool addition and it really came through nicely in the nose. I had several of my SoCal beer snob friends say they think it was one of the best beers they have ever had.

Recipe I followed (not including extra 1.5oz citra) is here: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/195459/bodhi-clone-december-2014-

Man, that looks like their older batches. It seems to have cleared a bit since they started making this beer.

I brewed this recipe on 10/16 and have been drinking it for the last few days.

The Simcoe + Citra are what really come through to me as the Bodhi profile. The malts seem to be very solid as well.

I had to adjust my hop additions based on what I had on hand but it still came out very good. I used S-05 for yeast, I will try 1318 next time to bring out more fruitiness.

In effort to get body but keep it crisp I went with carapils, a little a first, then more until I had the body with the low finishing gravity

How much carapils are you using now per batch?

How much carapils are you using now per batch?

2lb`s on a 12 gallon batch

Would you like to share your recipe @greeze?
This sounds like an amazing beer. We'll never get it down in my part of the world so will have to make my own!

Notes
wlp 090 SUPER SAN DEIGO YEAST WITH A BIG PITCH WORKS REAL NICE.


I do this beer with a big brew in the bag set up, so adjust for your system, ferment warm if you use 090. Doing brew in the bag I end up with a gallon of trub or uncollected brew per fermentor, so thats why its a 12 gallon batch, hops soak up a bunch too so I end up with two cornies when all is said and done. Getting gravity low is the difference between syrup and gold medal. Good luck and please post when you brew it!!

Greeze,

Thanks for this recipe. Going to give it a try soon. Can't wait!

Couple of questions...

Are you still fermenting wlp090 at 75 degrees for this? Also, what water profile do you use for this recipe?

Thanks!

 

[greeze]

I did a few batches at he warmer end and it did very well, besides the speed of the ferment I and several others notice no ill effects. One thing I do want to try is the rouge yeast on this (pacman) the 090 takes it toll on the malt flavor a bit, I almost want to add a little Melanoidin malt to it but figure I`ll try the pacman yeast to see if it leaves a little more malt character.

my brewers friend water profiles are gone! sorry, I use detroit city water, 1 cad tablet before the mash, usually 2 tbls of calcium cl and about 1.5 lb of acid malt for the higher water to grain ratio. In the boil I do another tbls of calcium cl and 4-5 tbls of gypsum for the 12 gal batch. I have been having issues with clarity if the ph gets to high

Will brew this soon!
