This beer was brewed using hops grown out front of our local microbrew, Picaroon's. They weren't entirely sure what variety they were, but the general consensus was likely cascade. Being homegrown, I have no idead what the AA's are, so I used the preset 5.5% on beertools. The post-boil hydrometer sample was pretty bitter, so I may have hit the predicted 78 IBU's.

This looks pretty good. I'm a big fan of Yippie. I see you posted this a few months ago. Would you change anything on this recipe?

Also, after some looking, I found this on the Picaroon's website. They keep a brew log, and this is the recipe for one of their IPAs:


Batch Number: 652

Beer Style: India Pale Ale(IPA)

Brew Date: June 21/07

Brewer: Andrew Estabrooks(Esty)


Recipe: Grain: (GlenEagle)Maris Otter pale Malt,OiO Toasted Wheat,William Crisp Amber Malt.

Hops: Tettnang(A.A.3.9%), Cascade(A.A.6.9%), Williamette(A.A.5.3%), Fuggles(A.A.4.0%)

Other: Gypsum, Irish Moss,Yeast nutrient, Ringwood yeast and our well water. Water is untreated except with acid to adjust the PH to 5.46.

Mash in @ 7:15, strike temp @ 77 degrees. Mash temp @ 30 min is 68 degrees.Mash level is very high because of the amount of grain used in this beer.(more grain to achieve higher gravity)

Begin sparge 24 minutes later at a sparge temp of 80 degrees.

Copper up at 11:18, boil at 1:10. Hops in at start of boil and then every ten minutes for 12 additions.3 varieties of hops used, so 1/4 of each used for 12 additions. 2 hour boil for this beer to extract more from the hops.

Cascade/Tettnang hop juice added at 3:45.(bigger tank used to steep hop juice, because more hops were used than normal.)

Fridge starts at 4:10.Yeast pitched and roused into FV1 at 4:40.(yeast was fresh and thick today) Finished at 5:10.Long brew day!, clean up begins

Gravities: 1st runnings - 1.095. 1 Hr. - 1.090 Last runnings - 1.0155 Boiled wort - 1.0685.

I wonder if that's an older version of their yippee? Looks good, regardless. I might try making it sometime.

Thanks for the post!

How long is the boil time on this one? 60' or 90' Generally with pilsen it is 90 but was wondering.

I opened my first bottle after 10 days since bottling. A little early I know but the beer was fantastic. This recipe went straight back on my list of redo.
Thanks for the great recipe.
