Belgian Dubbel

My newest, Double IPA with Simcoe, Centennial, Citra and Amarillo. 9.0% ABV. One of the clearest IPAs I have ever made!

View attachment 685502

Pretty good, needs some refining. I was looking for something similar to Hop JuJu or the like. Aroma is sweet candied fruit, peach and orange mostly, and a slight grainy/toasted bread note. Flavor is lacking a bit to me. Grapefruit/grapefruit pith are just about all that's there. The nose has a ton of sweet fruit, but the flavor doesn't hit the same. There is also a bit of noticeable alcohol when you drink it. Bitterness is pretty spot on, but need to get more hop flavor.

The malt flavor is nice, so I will probably leave that alone. Ill probably reduce the ABV some next time. Maybe hit it with more Amarillo and Citra late in the boil.
Try a heavy dryhop on el dorado. Every time I use it, I get a very definitive candy character from it. 50% of the total dryhop and that might be what gives you what you need.
 
Pineapple beer? There is such a thing? I have pineapples plants bearing fruit in my backyard right now. The caretaking of pineapple plants makes it almost not worth it.....but just barely.
Yes. It’s real my family has been making it for generations. My great aunt - Ma Ru - used to brew it in the closet in New Orleans. You can also make pineapple soda if you don’t let the yeast fully grow.
 
Toasted Coconut Cheerios Hazy DIPA w/ Sabro, Cashmere, and Mosaic. Yep, brewed with breakfast cereal.

Holy crap this beer is tasty. Much to my relief, the coconut doesn't taste fake—it's almost like what you get from hand-toasted coconut flakes, but probably a little closer to the extracts some pro brewers use. The sweetness and body are perfect, pillowy; this beer finished at 1.013 (for an 8.2% ABV) but has more residual sweetness than that number would indicate. Looking forward to killing this keg and brewing it again, if I can convince the girlfriend to give me the couple extra boxes she bought before the store ran out.
