Was enjoying the last of my Munich Helles the other night while waiting for the dryer to finish.

The cat named sativa lol

HB double hazy IPA with Amarillo, Sabro and Simcoe. 9% and very delicious.
Not quite perfect but definitely the best hazy I've brewed so far. Changes for next time:

1. Higher OG, higher FG. It only finished at about 1.012, it's not thin per se but could do with a touch more sweetness. Slightly higher mash temperature would probably help, especially seen as I've finally nailed high OG mashing on my BrewZilla.
2. I love Simcoe, but I think I'd drop it for something like Mosaic that's got a bit more of the overripe tropical fruit as it's pretty dank
3. Different yeast maybe? I've only got a hint of the sourness 644 can throw, but with the low FG it makes the beer tarter than I wanted. Might try a co-pitch of something really estery and lower attenuation with something clean and efficient.

644 is an sta1 positive strain so it’s not really the one to use if you intend a higher fg as it will continue to break down the non fermentable into fermentables. If you’re bottling it’s particularly troublesome as it will cause over carbing/ bottle bombs if bottled high.

If I were you I’d use a London Ale type strain and mash around 154. That will typically have you finish 1.018-1.020.

Mosaic can be quite dank as well as it’s mother is Simcoe. That said I love Simcoe and mosaic together at a 1:2 ratio.

Just some unsolicited food for thought lol

I knew 644 was STA-1 positive but I keg and turned this one round really quickly. Including dry hop it was in the fermenter a week before kegging and cold crashing.

I'd really like to find a yeast combination that's tropical or stone fruit ester forward and hits around 80% but without being STA-1 positive...and ideally floccing a bit better. Verdant IPA is partway there but I feel it needs something to underpin it.

I'm almost tempted to try a hefe yeast as the banana might play nice with the other tropical flavours.

Everyone certainly has their presence with attenuation. For this style my concern is mouthfeel over attenuation

Maybe look into WLP067 - Costal haze. It’s still an sta1 blend but I’ve seen people claim it stabilizes a little higher

I think I might try a Lallemand Verdant and Koln Kölch copitch fermented around 21°C, and upping my OG to about 1.080 with a 20m@67°C/40m@70°C step mash. That should finish about 1.019 instead of 1.012 and still hit 8%.

Very impressed with both the Incognito and Spectrum (except what an oily mess they made of the fermenter). Will definitely use again.

Think I'll try Mosaic/Sabro/Strata next time round...

new guy to IPA brewing

 

[jdauria]

Latest Altbier, Little darker than I wanted it, but nice and red when held to light. Will cut back Carafa Special II from 4 oz to 2 next time.

 

[jdauria]

And a Kolsch also on tap. Just starting to clear after a few pours from the keg.

HB NEIPA: 7.7%, went with a new hot side combo. Instead of a solid Columbus/cascade mix, I went with Waimea (all late boil additions) and cascade/cascade lupomax in WP. Hydro sample came out nice and tropical with a lil resinous feel from the Waimea which I wanted. dry hopped for a tropical leaning pineapple vibe with el dorado, vic secret, and Citra LUPOMAX. Not quite fully matured yet but I dig it. Nice tropical with some nice true hop with resin vibe and pineapple on the back of the swallow. Kind of surprised the Waimea carried all the way through. Pretty happy with this one.

Recently tapped a new IPA. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Sexy.

May I ask your grain bill?

Sexy.

May I ask your grain bill?

Well considering you called me sexy, I guess I need to put out right? err, perhaps you were calling the beer sexy lol. Anyways, here it is:

62.5% (12.5lbs) 2 row - rahr
20% (4lbs) Spelt - best maltz
10% (2lbs) malted oats - thomas fawcett
7.5% (1.5lbs) carafoam - weyermann

My OG was 1.075 and FG was 1.016. Ive been targeting 1.015-16 lately and like the results. I really like the ~7.7% ABV with this grain bill a lot. For me its the sweet spot for this style. Great mouthfeel without being chewy or heavy. It drinks like a standard strength beer, not a double at all.

Ive pretty much been using this grain bill for a while and making small tweaks to it such as upping the carafoam from 6% to 7.5%. Im sure if you don't have spelt, white wheat would be totally fine. I just think that spelt is "fluffier/pillowier" when you get to ~20% of the grain bill compared to white wheat. For me, I have also been preferring having the wheat being favored over the malted oats in general.

Enjoy!

Yum. I’ll be brewing a brown ale next weekend

Maris otter and mosaic SMASH pale ale.. wound up looking like a hazy IPA, likely because I used imperial citrus. Delicious!

My experimental amber lager. Almost perfection, gonna up the IBU on the next batch for a bit more bitterness and aroma.

Pisswasser American light lager turned out absolutely beautiful!
