Fresh Squeezed IPA (Deschutes Inspired)

[Kealia]

IMO - yes. I've made a number of Mosaic-only beers and like what it brings to the table (even as a solo-hop). With this grain bill I wouldn't hesitate at all to do what you've mentioned. I do think keeping the Nugget is important, though (as you said you would). I've brewed this without it and it definitely makes a big difference in the profile.

So...my vote (having brewed this and other Mosaic beers multiple times) is to go for it.

Obviously it wouldn't be a fresh squeezed, but would only using mosaic hops for flavor and aroma and nugget for bittering following this grain bill and hop schedule make a good beer? I happen to have a butt load of mosaic right now (along with centennial and calypso) and want to use them up before buying any more hops

If you have a butt load of mosaic... Can I get a 1/8 butt load?

So this took Gold in a Keg Only beer competition I was in. I swept the IPA category with this and an Session IPA. The Session IPA actually won Best Of Show Runner UP out of 266 entries. This recipe scored a 41.7. Beer and Sweat

Tasty brew

Big congrats plankbr!

Congrats! Did you brew with any significant changes compared to the recipe in the original post?

I have since removed the wheat entirely and bumped up the Munich to compensate for it. That's it really. I noticed the wheat caused too much unsettling head after being poured out of a keg.

ODD.If you look at the pic in #216 I got perfect head that slowly dissipates.Couldnt ask for anything better.Followed the original recipe to a tee.Second keg of a split batch just finished force carbing and looks to be the same.

 

[plankbr]

It's not like I was getting overcarbed beer. The foam didn't dissipate well and it kind of reminded me of a root beer float creamy froth. Since I removed the wheat, the head issue went away. It's just what worked for me.

I brewed this over the weekend with my buddy. Two 5.5 gallon batches. I used my electric system, and my buddy did gas. Pretty close to the same recipes. I used a bit more 2-row as I typically have some efficiency issues. Of course, this time I didn't and I came in at 1.072. My buddy's came out at 1.064 OG. Mine:
8.5 gallons water ( Should have added another 1/2 gallon or so)
13 lbs 2-Row
1 lb Munich 10L
1/2 lb White Wheat
3/4 lb 60L

It ended up lighter in color too, probably could have put in 1 lb of 60L.

My buddy did:
8 gallons water
11 lbs 2-Row
1 lb Munich 10L
1/2 lb White Wheat
1 lb 60L

His came out darker(of course).

We used the same hop schedule as the OP. Both did about 60 min mashes. Mine was at about 153-154 degrees. His was closer to 155.

I had built up, twice, a new pack of San Diego super yeast. We both used that.

Usually have friends drink and judge. I won last time . Will update the thread with pictures once they are done.

WYEAST 1187 ringwood ale yeast, Is the closest strand of yeast to Deschutes Brewery house yeast, as per http://www.kswbeer.com/2012/05/what-yeast-does-deschutes-use.html

So if going for a clone you might want to try this yeast.

good info... thanks!

have you (or anyone else) tried 1187 with this recipe?

Mr. Malty Wyeast/White Labs chart says WLP005 is same strain, anyone tried that?

I used WLP001 and it turned out pretty tasty. did the extract version and no one could tell.

will do it again, but use a local yeast source. he has a Cal ale type strain but this might steer me towards his Brit ale strain.

 

[plankbr]

I've use California Common on this with no issue. I think any neutral yeast strain will work.

If you look earlier in this thread it's pointed out that on their site they list American ale yeast in their homebrew recipe for this one, everything else lists English yeast (presumably ringwood) except for Chainbreaker which is a Belgian strain.

 

[JONNYROTTEN]

FWIW I Made a double batch using 05 yeast.The first I kegged after 7 days it was still pretty thick and hadn't settled out.After a couple days and a few wasted pints in the keg it cleared and was FANTASTIC,juicy beer.I kegged the second half at around 3 weeks after brew day.It definitely lost some of the fresh hop juice flavor that made the first one so good.I would not hesitate to transfer this beer early as possible when I make it again

 

[Tahoe2MSP]

I was going to go with Wyeast 1272 as it was the freshest yeast my LHBS had. I've also slightly adjusted the recipe to account for my efficiency with BIAB and took out the wheat and added more crystal to make up for it. Any objections to these changes or do you think it should still turn out to be a good beer? This will be my 3rd all grain batch

Update: Been fermenting (brewPi, kept at 67 F) since Sept 17th(about 10 days). Took a gravity reading. Mine is at 1.012, buddy's at 1.010. The San Diego Super Yeast really took off and fermented like crazy for about 4 days. Added 2 oz of Citra for dry hop to each carboy today. Will start the cold crash on Thursday night...if not sooner. I tasted them...so far they both seem to be coming along well.

 

[Beerdrinker85]

Will be my next brew for sure!

 

[chickypad]

I scaled this AllGrain recipe with beersmith to 6.50Gal version. I wanted a low ABV version so I adjusted the Gravity via BeerSmith software (my last 3 batch was like 7.5%+ each )
Brewed this today with my Grainfather and now sitting in my 7gal SS brewtech Chronical BME @65F. Used 1.3pkg of US-05. Mashed @ 152F
I really don't know how it will turn but I don't think I can miss it.
Will update the result later.

Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: US-05
Batch Size (Gallons): 6.50
Original Gravity: 1.058
Final Gravity: 1.014
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60

13lbs and 12oz 2-row (US)
8 ounces Thomas Fawcett amber malt.

.93 Warrior hops 16.4% AA (60 minutes) SEE NOTES ON HOPPING!
.62 Amarillo Gold 8.5% (35 minutes)
.62 Simcoe 12% (30 minutes)
.68 Simcoe 12% Dry hop
1.35 Amarillo Gold Dry hop
1.3 Pkg of US05

Did you post in the right thread? That looks like Yooper's Dogfish clone, not the Fresh Squeezed.

 

[GrogNerd]

That IS Yooper's 60 minute clone.

The TF amber plus "see notes on hopping!" are the giveaway

ya wrong thread, wrong bookmark!

I'm looking at @plankbr's 5 gallon recipe and something in the IBU calculations doesn't match my Beersmith.

Here's a line from the original:

0.5 oz - Nugget, Type: Pellet, AA: 14, Use: First Wort, IBU: 14.67

However, my Beersmith says that this produces 26.8 IBU. That's a big difference! (I've set Boil Time to 60, the full boil time, since that's how First Wort additions are supposed to work.)

The other 15 minute additions match the recipe's IBU.

What gives?

Beersmith doesn't seem to be calculating the IBU's of the FWH correctly. Try it in Brewersfriend.

Pic of the finished product. Turned out awesome. Thanks for the recipe!

 

[Tahoe2MSP]

A little update on my batch of this recipe:

5gallon BIAB BATCH

I increased the malts to make up for some inefficiency. Ended up with a 1.070 FG. I guess my efficiency increased! pitched 2 packs of rehydrated US-05 (first time using dry yeast) and fermented at 65F. ended up with a FG of 1.009 �� Ended up with a DIPA. I had my girlfriend add an ounce of mosaic to the 2 ounces of citra of for dry hopping. I'm out of town so I haven't had a chance to taste it, but my girlfriend said the FG sample was quite tasty! Can't wait to get home and try this brew out!

Thanks again for putting this recipe up for us all to enjoy!

 

[WakeyOz]

Fresh squeezed does not use any wheat malt, and the amount of hops in this recipe is too low also.
I can confirm it is Ringwood ale yeast that is used for this beer.

Here is my Recipe
Malt
11Lbs 2-Row (83%)
1lbs Munich 10L (7.5%)
1lb 4oz Crystal 60L (9.4%)

Hops
0.75oz Nugget (13%AA) 60min
2oz Citra (12%AA) 5min
2oz Mosaic (12.25%AA) 5min
2oz Citra Dry Hop 5 days
2oz Mosaic Dry Hop 5 days

Use RO Water and add Minerals to match Burton on trent profile.
You're aiming for 1.062 OG
and an FG of 1.012

Enjoy!

 

[te-wa]

^ thanks, WakeyOz. i noticed my 2 attempts at this the color was off. original is more reddish than i could get. also, i agree the wheat is not needed. at any rate, both my tries of this brew were in the .018 finish. still, it seems like bottle fresh squeezed is sweeter than both my versions. perception, perhaps.

 

[plankbr]

Please keep in mind that this was not intended to be a clone. DeSchutes uses CC75, which is why you're lacking the reddish color. I simply added wheat for head retention. They used to have more information on their site than this, but:
Here is what they offer

They mash at a higher temp. They used a different yeast strain.
