Green Flash Hop Head Red?

[nppeders]

Yo. Dagobrewer...what is the recipe you used? I'm hoping to brew this again soon as it's usually a fall seasonal for me. I was just in san diego visiting my brother and drank a bunch of hop head red and reinforced the fact that I really love this beer.

I gotta say thoug...Green Flash IPA is fantastic, and Pizza Port Mongo is ridonculous! You are lucky to be in San Diego. At least I have Surly and New Glarus! I had a great time visiting The Lost Abbey as well.

More importantly...what recipe did you do when you thought it was the closest to the real deal?

Bump. Who brewed and how did it turn out?

I've made this a few times. It's my favorite recipe. I like to add a little rye to my recipe, but I've also made it without and it turned out well (see my post on page 3 for the recipe I used). Amarillo hops are hard to find around here, so I used Cascade once. It turned out good, but I'd make sure I find Amarillo if I can. It's a huge difference. I buy it by the pound and freeze it.

How does it compare to hop head red? I have a lb of 2011 Amarillo so I'm looking for a good version of this recipe.

for those curious on this brew. I took a photo of the brewers info page at GF. It said they use Dehusked Carafe and dark malt (120 as u have guessed)

bittering hop = nugget
flavor hop = nugget /amarillo
aroma = amarillo

 

[nppeders]

intersting...maybe replace the chocolate malt with the Carafa. Any other insights fromt he brewers info page...mash temp? other malts? base malt?

Holy ****, Yoop! I live in Iowa, and we just got this in. It was a couple years ago, but the beer I brewed from your recipe was sooo close. This is the new version, so it is a little bit more bitter, but other than that it is dead on. You are a hell of a cloner! Oh, it is awesome, too. If you don't get it in the UP message me and I'd love to send you a 4 pack.

I degassed a sample and took a gravity reading. FG: 1.020

Brewing an Red IPA based off this, over the weekend. Thanks for bumping this thread! Weighed out the hops today, man do I love the smell of Amarillo!

Thanks for the offer! We don't get it in the UP, but I saw it at Trig's (the grocery store) in Eagle River, WI last week so I think it'll be available for us usually.

this is for a 5 gallon recipe, right?

Yup. Five gallon batch

What part of the grain bill gave it the "red" hue?
