just tossed in my dry hops, can I cold crash at the same time?

I prefer to dry hop at room temp for a few days for maximum oil extraction.
Cold crash in about 5 days.

got it ,thanks

Did you do a mashout for this recipe?
I was just thinking of heating to 170 and killing the flame. Thoughts?

Could anyone lend me a hand and help me convert this to a 6 or. 6.5 gallon recipe? Or inform me where or how to try and do so myself.
Any help would be appreciated.

Go to the 5 gal recipe, divide each item by 5, this gives you 1 gallon batch quanities, they multiply by 6 or 6.5.

Wow can't believe I never thought about that!!! do the same thing for the hops I'm assuming?
Thanks

I use this spreadsheet to convert. It also converts to grams because my scale only does grams.

Clarification question. Am I supposed to boil 90 minutes but not add hops until 30 minutes? What is the purpose of boiling it for 60 minutes before adding hops? Thanks!

Boiling creates some carmelization and drives off DME.

 

[aslander]

This doesn't have any Pilsner in it, so I would think that DMS wouldn't be much of an issue. A 60 min boil would probably be fine.

If you make this AG, it will have DMS. DMS isn't exclusive to Pilsner malt. A 60 minute boil should still be fine as long as you don't cover it.

Most people know this. Pislner malt has more DMS and is recommended for 90 min boils. Since this has none, there really is no benefit of doing a 90 min boil vs 60 min. the only reason i could see in a 90 min boil here is to reduce volume to hit OG but if you start with the right amount, that isn't necessary.


I plan on brewing this over the weekend. kinda temped to brew it today since im working from home.

What this dude said. Anymore, 90min is a standard boil length for me.

I brewed this per the OP recipe. No DMS! If you're getting DMS your boil isn't vigorous enough or you're leaving the lid on OR you picked up Pilsner in error. That's happened to me.
Otherwise the purpose of the boil is to sterilize your wort, drive off unwanted components ( DMS ), concentrate the wort & to isomerize the AA's in your hops for bitterness, flavor, & aroma.

Going to brew this this weekend. Didn't get a chance to do it last weekend. I also dropped my yeast as i was opening it to put into the starter and lost more than half so i just threw it out. setup a new starter last night and will prob brew this on Saturday.

 

[DigB]

I brewed this about 3 weeks ago, I just kegged it and I am impressed. Even flat it tastes pretty darn good! I can't wait till it's carbonated and aged a little!

I know this post is old but I would like to try this beer out. Do you know the AAU of the hops and could I substitue one of them for citra if so what one.

Oh yeah there's also this one...

And you'll never have to ask that question again! As for the Citra, I have yet to find a hop that tastes/smells similar, so you'll likely make a very different beer, but it likely won't be bad.

 

[meis1212]

Don't do it! Make this beer then dry hop with citra. That's what I did. Best beer I've ever had.

Just brewed this over the holiday weekend. going to dry hop in a few days. followed the recipe exactly and hit my numbers. hopefully in 3 weeks ill have it cold and carbed in a glass.

When I made this beer I subbed Citra for Chinook in the boil, and also subbed one ounce of Citra leaf for one ounce of Cascade in the dry hop. Turned out FANTASTIC!

I believe I did the same exact thing, and it was terrific. Although, I think the original recipe base beer is to credit with how well every good hop is showcased. I really don't think you can screw up this recipe!

Just started cold crashing my batch. Cant wait to try it cold and carbed. hydro sample was good. Came in dry 1.006. My mash temps were low, 151.

Can someone tell me what to expect by replacing the torrified wheat with flaked barley? My LHBS was out of the wheat so they recommended the barley. It's fermenting now, already down to 1.011 after 4 days and still going, albeit very slowly. Tastes delicious so far!

I also used Amarillo instead of Willamette.

 

[Jensas]

I have a stupid question... What do I do with the torrified wheat? Crush it or not? Mash it full time?

I crushed mine with the rest of the grains

I'm going to try this tomorrow. Substituting home grown cascade leaf for the cascade pellets. 10g batch. Also white labs East Coast Ale Yeast, since I am on the East Coast. Got the starter stirring. Anybody try the WLP008 before? Thoughts? Sounds yummy to me!

Torrified wheat is heated/toasted wheat, it's not barley. Flaked barley is great for head retention. You will still get a great tasting beer either way, but wheat is wheat and barley is barley.

Torrified Wheat has been heat treated (kind of "popped")to break the cellular structure, allowing for rapid hydration and allows malt enzymes to more completely attack the starches and protein. Torrified Wheat can be used in place of raw wheat in Belgian style Wit-Beers, also very good for adding body and head, especially to English ales. Since it has not been malted, you can't sub it for malted wheat. Because it's not malted, it needs to be mashed with a diastatic malt in order to convert the starches.

Just poured a pint out of my keg last night. Its a very good IPA. Will snap a pic later and post it.
