Jade IPA Foothills looking for recipe. Thx

[jojobrewing]

if you are lucky enough to live in North Carolina, you can now acquire this lovely beverage in 22oz bottles. One interesting thing I noted on the label on the bottle is that they are now dry hopping with Chinook instead of Cascade. Other than that pretty much looks the same. Probably won't be changing my recipe any. I like it the way it is and it's close enough for me.

Counted my jade batches 2013. 10 kegged So I've pretty much stuck to my recipe published previous. I am curious though about the Dry hop of chinook. It could be that the brewer got a deal on a big load of hops. Sometimes I think when we find out the brewer is changing hops it is bc they know something we don't Just think though. We are using 7 -8 oz hops for this brew chinook for cascade is that really changing much ? Ah anyway I've been thinking about brewing an all Amarillo but I settled on hop head red IPA. Dry hopped with 3 oz Amarillo . tomorrow is my 2nd Kentucky breakfast stout and then Lagunitas IPA. Then farm ale smuttynose. Anybody with me here. Appreciate the continued posts. Looking forward to the jade bottle mostly for the compare

their website still describes them as dry hopping with citra and cascade so maybe they had/have a surprlus of chinook so decided to use that as a dry hop instead. most of the flavor is coming from the jade and citra in the boil anyways. foothills is also doing an "IPA of the month" so maybe the chinook was leftover from january's version. regardless, still tastes like jade

I brewed a 4gal batch on this on 02/15 using all 2-row with 3oz 120C. I bittered with Warrior, then used citra, jade, and cascade in the final 15 minutes through hopstand. Racked to secondary last night and dry hopped with 3oz Jade and 1oz Citra. Finished at 1.010 (7.6% ABV). Looked, smelled, and tasted great. Can't wait to sample them in a few weeks.

I spoke with the brewer at Foothills that I have known for a good while and sent him the latest recipe from jojobrewing (page three at the bottom). He said go all pils (no 2 row at all) and to go with caramel 60 (not 120). Also said no cascade at all, and to replace with chinook.

I've never used chinook as a dry hop. Is it used like that

thanks for that info from the brewer dbj. i am making this again this weekend and will try what he suggested.

did he comment at all on the choice of yeast?

I talked to two brewers at the AHA Rally at Foothills last week and they said no chinook. I asked specifically.

They use an English ale yeast. Used to be 1968 but now something proprietary.

Brewed jojo's recipe today except using 2.5 ounces of crystal 120. Also, used the London ESB yeast. I'll post how it comes out in a few weeks. Thanks for the recipe!

So I made another batch using all Belgian Pilsner Malt and Crystal 60 instead of 120 and replaced cascade with chinook hops per the suggestion above and it came out pretty similarly to the other recipe. would like to have done a side by side comparison but it wasn't noticeably different. I think either way results in a great beer. i've made the recipe on page 3 three times now and I'm pretty much leaving it as is. if anything i would like to find a way to reduce the amount of hops overall as it is a little on the expensive side to make.

First post here, wanting to make this brew next. Old thread but curious if anyone has tried tweaking this anymore

Which yeast did you use 1968 or 002?
