American IPA Fresh Squeezed IPA

[antwort]

So I kinda winged a partial extract recipe while at the LHBS after reading the OP on the way (wife drove, nice!) Ended up huge at 1.080 OG today, here's what I changed up;

10# CBW Golden Light LME (3x 3.33# tubs)
1#6oz Carapils (just the way the scoop measured out)
1# Crystal 40
10oz Cara-Munich (to bring my partial grain bill to 3lbs even. Learned after the fact that Cara-Munich =/= Munich. Oops :smack

Going to throw 2 packets of SAFALE-05 in it now and see what happens. The house has been staying in the 62-68 range so should be fine sitting there. Will dry hop after fermentation settles. Looking forward to this one very much.

I followed the original recipe about a month ago. Temperature came in perfect. OG a slight bit higher and finished nicely at FG. Next weekend we celebrate my birthday with a beer and BBQ party. This is the showcase beer. I have had a few "samples" and it is easily my favorite beer I have brewed over my 2 years brewing. Once the SWMBO slayer gets out of the fermentation chamber I intend to brew another batch but doubling to 10 gallons. I love this beer!

I found another Fresh Squeezed clone recipe on AHA but instead of using Chinook/Simcoe/Amarillo hop combo used in this recipe, the AHA recipe uses a Mosaic/Citra combo. For those that have tried the real thing &/or brewed this clone, what are your thoughts on the Chinook/Simcoe/Amarillo combo verses the Mosaic/Citra combo??

 

[MerlinWerks]

Read the last couple of sentences in the first post, this is not a Deschuttes Fresh Squeezed clone recipe.

THIS is though, on my list to brew...

*whoosh*

This is one of my top 2 favorites. The other is a coconut IPA. Soon I need to do a double batch day so I can have them both at the same time.

Maybe I phrased the question wrong?? I'm not knocking this recipe. Nor was I trying to say it's not an exact clone as that doesn't matter to me. Was just looking for was some comments on the two different hop combos.

 

[MerlinWerks]

No worries, I was only trying to point out that this recipe was never designed or intended to be a Deschuttes Fresh Squeezed clone. I think that is missed at first by many people, including myself. The OP even said he was being a "dork" when he named the thread, but to him the name is still an accurate reflection of the beer he created. Unfortunately it is the same name as a popular commercial beer that people would like to duplicate and assume this is a recipe for it.

Of course there are many paths up the mountain, but in this case you would not be comparing hop combos from two different "clone" recipes like you thought, but two different beer recipes altogether.

By all accounts this is a fine beer :rockin:

I can confirm that this is a worthy IPA recipe... The only thing I changed is a late 5 minute addition of citra just because I love that hop and the results are off the charts good.

Interesting! I checked gravity today at 1 week and it was at 1.015, so I decided to throw in the dry hop addition. Since I had it I went with a 1oz addition of Citra instead of the 1.5oz of Chinook it calls for. Love the citra smell, hoping for great results. This is gonna be a Yuuge beer, 8.5% ABV and 10 oz of hops good golly!


Edit: transferred to keg today after 8 days hoping, wow it finished out at 1.012, 85% attenuation. Looks great smells great can't wait to try it in a couple days

 

[s0ap]

would love to try this out, but i dont have Beersmith.
Can someone share how much in terms of lbs for all the ingredients ?
Thank you in advance!

The Citra turned out great in this recipe.

I recently brewed this recipe again but changed out some hops. Went with El Dorado, Mosaic, Azacca and Amarillo to go along with the simcoe. Went away from the chinook to avoid piney characters, I'm really going for a tropical vibe. I'll try to remember to update!

 

[AlexM40]

This sounds really good. However, I'm not brewing all grain yet and would be using extract for the base malt. So in that case is a 90 minute boil still necessary? If not what about the hop schedule? Would adding the 90 minute hops to the 60 minute hops make any difference?
Thanks for posting this recipe.

 

[Konadog]

I would think you could do an extract batch in 30/45 min. if you wanted.

 

[brrman]

Gonna bang 10gal of this one out tonight. Been searching for a great citrusy IPA and this looks just amazing!

You guys think 23 days is good enough for grain to glass (got company showing up in Sept)? I am going to forgo the oak cubes since I don't have any.

With a strong starter and hold yourself to a controlled plan to ferment out, dry hop, and keg you could definately achieve this.

Picked up the ingredients to make an all grain batch of this today. It's going to be the 2nd brew in my new grainfather. I didn't get the wood chunks mainly because I forgot but had been contemplating not using them. Will be my 1st brew using Simcoe and Amarillo. The house is going to smell so good!

 

[brewdorg]

Ingredients for this one are on the way. Looking for some advice though.

1. I have oak whiskey barrel dominoes. Will these be ok or do they need to be toasted? The chunks I have are charred from before they held whiskey.

2. I'm thinking of splitting the batch and putting a tonne of orange and grapefruit zest in secondary with the dry hops. Would this mess with the flavours too much or would it work? I'm thinking along the lines of BrewDogs Elvis Juice.

Any input appreciated!

I would think so. I kegged both my versions in under 14 days. Another week would be perfect. It does get better with age, but I doubt you'll be able to get it to last that long.

 

[joshb]

Mine went into the kegorator yesterday with CO2. Definitely gonna try some today even though it'll be somewhat flat. It's right at 4 weeks since brew day for me. The last sample I tasted was great even though warm and flat.

 

[brewdorg]

Bottled this a week ago, carbing up to 2.8 volumes is the plan. How long do people recommend conditioning this for? The samples I tasted were all harshly bitter so I'm assuming it will need time to mellow. Any advice/experience?

 

[joshb]

1st try at this turned out really good. I'll definitely make it again, maybe with the wyeast instead of SafAle.

Nice, no wonder the carbonation looks so good. Will report back in a few weeks with the bottle conditioned version.

This recipe's hop additions are incredibly outdated, as are most IPA recipes on this site. I would research whirlpooling and hopstands, your IPA's and taste buds will thank you.

I've been reading up on the subject as of late especially after tasting what this process does to a beer from Veil Brewing in Richmond,VA. I have always whirlpooled at flameout but haven't done much hop additions followed by hopstands at lower temps. My question is how do you take a recipe like this and determine the hop schedule for a whirlpool/hopstand?

 

[asmpic]

Hello everyone. I'm very excited about brewing this but still very much a beginner so I was hoping someone could help with the extract conversion for this recipe?

Do I just convert the 2-row and steep the other malts? What about the hops?

Thanks a lot!!

Hope this helps...

They are suggesting a mini-mash for extract. This means just mashing, in the referenced recipe the crystal (which doesn't need mashing) and the Munich (which does) while adding extract to substitute for the 2-row. This is easy and can be done in a pot on the stove and a thermometer.

To Quote:
Extract Option

Substitute 8.25 lb (3.74 kg) pale malt extract syrup for the pale two-row (In the brewer's association recipe, 11 lbs of 2-row). Mash Munich and crystal malts at 155°F (68°C) for 40 minutes, or until Munich malt reaches conversion. Drain, rinse, and dissolve extract completely before proceeding with boil.

-- You can do the same with the OP's recipe by maybe going with 9#-10# of extract and mashing the Cara Pils, C40, etc the same way.

Awesome! thanks a lot!
So will everything else stay the same then, like the hop schedule?
