Group Buy in Chicago #5

[bmason1623]

I do hate driving

Who was generous enough to give yeast in the small blue vials? I need details on that!

That would be polboy.

 

[RC0032]

Thanks!

I can build the website for bulk grain order if you guys want.

starman, I thought that (during my countless beer samplings during pick up) that I mentioned that your beer tasted a little phenolic. Read the link below:

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/beer-has-garden-hose-taste-330511/

Agreed. My favorite hypothesis was clorophenols resultant from spraying off the keggle and soaking the immersion chiller with garden hose water. I checked the IC today and pulling it out of a bucket it drained a good quart of water that probably went into the boil.

That said, deciphering my brew notes it looks like my impulsive self used upwards of 4.5 oz of columbus for bittering additions for a 120m boil. If the hose water phenols didnt ruin that 5 gallons of beer, the bittering hops would have.

Thanks for the link!

That's a lot of alpha acids...

 

[Polboy]

Thats a lot of hops, even if it was 10gal batch its still a lot , good news is that if your off flavor is from columbus it will fade away, i have amber ale and ipa with columbus, i could pick up it particular strong character and it was terrible to me, now after some time in the bottle its actually nice, not the best, it still have this thing i dont like but i can drink it and i can see how some ppl can actually enjoy this hop

The Pliny recipe calls for 3.5oz of Columbus at 90 and .75oz at 45 minutes. It's pretty crazy.

Not just Columbus, centennial and simcoe as well! And that doesn't include the almost five ounces of hops used for dry hopping.

Thank goodness for group buys on fairly cheap pounds of all of these, I think I'll be brewing this up in the next day or two. The Hops Shack still has crazy cheap hops as well. When a pound of Columbus is $6 I don't feel so bad using 5 ounces of it in a single beer.

I think I am the the only person who doesn't care for Pliny. Oh, and Daisy Cutter too. I guess I'm just weird.

I as excited to get a pull of galactic double daisy cutter when I was at Piece recently. I just didn't hold up to Piece's in house DIPA, "it goes to 11". I was fairly disappointed. Il try again though!

 

[bmason1623]

Rich, have you tried New Glarus Moon Man? That stuff is awesome! Their Black Tip black ipa is very good too.

 

[bmason1623]

I do like Half Acre's Gossamer...

If that's the citra one, I agree.

The no-coast pale ale! Love it!!

Recipe?

I wish I had a recipe. According to one of the brewers (a kid really) when I last visited the brewery, he said to "think" New Zealand hops but Nelson Sauvin. A lot of damn help he was...

 

[RC0032]

Here is someones attempt https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/new-glarus-moon-man-clone-help-193381/

 

[starman]

Drinking a pint of that now - much less of that grass clipping funk that ruins daisy cutter for me. I should mix some of that with my hose water flavored IPA for a real taste of summer.

Opened another one and tried with fresh taste buds, bottled since May and well carbed. My bittering schedule and grain bill wasn't that far off from PTE - think its phenol death.

 

[bmason1623]

Starman, get liquored up on the good stuff then drink your own swill. That's what I do.

 

[TheBreweryUnderground]

I've never tried Pliny and I would believe it doesn't live up to the hype but the Daisy Cutter hate hurts, that's my favorite apa.

 

[bottlebomber]

Having just tried Daisy Cutter for the first time, and living an hour from RR I would have to say they are on an equal playing field, with a slight favor to PTE. DC was almost too bitter to really consider it an APA, it's closer to IPA in profile IMO

Sorry TBU! I've only had it a handful of times, all from cans, and its been kind of meh with a load of grassiness. Maybe it was old or mistreated, pales are fragile.

Hi Neopol I have been doing a pumpkin ale once a year for the past five years. I usually just add libbys pumpkin puree to the primary and secondairy grain bill is around 10lb 2 row, 3lb munich, and a specialty grain we do .50lb crystal 40L some mulling spices in the boil with some Tetennang or Hallertau of around 1oz. Using California Ale or English Ale . SG of 1.058 FG of 1.005 The end result is usualy a malty pumpkin brew that is compleatly fermented out. I was wondering with doing the whole roasting of the pumpkin gives you a more pronounced pumpkin flavor like pumpkin pie? also do you try to stop fermentation by cold crashing to save some residual sugar? I would love to check out your recipie if you are willing to share. Thanks, Scott M.
