Pliny Pack

[Steelers77]

So I've been thinking about putting together a Pliny pack for the community and would like to get a consenses on what recipe to use. I've been given a few but I want to run it by the community before I put one together. Lets discuss this and see what we come up with.

 

[nealf]

Here is a recipe that is based exactly on Vinnie's:

[Steelers77]

Thats one of the recipes I looked at, if thats the one people are using I will sell packs based on it.

I have brewed Jamil's Hop Hammer version of PTE but upped the hops a bit. Everyone who has sampled this beer has loved it. This is the hop schedule that I personally used:

2.0 OZ WARRIOR (90 MIN)
2.0 OZ CHINOOK (90 MIN)
1.0OZ SIMCOE (45 MIN)
1 OZ COLUMBUS (30 MIN)
2.25 OZ CENTENNIAL (FLAMEOUT)
1.0 OZ SIMCOE (FLAMEOUT)


3.25 OZ COLUMBUS (DRY HOP AFTER ROUGHLY 7 DAYS OR SO)
1.75 OZ CENTENNIAL (DRY HOP)
1.75 OZ SIMCOE (DRY HOP)

This is the hop schedule for the PTE recipe that Vinnie C gave in a recent issue of Zymurgy:

3.50 oz Columbus - 90 min
.75 oz Columbus - 45 min
1.0 oz Simcoe - 30 min
1.0 Oz Centennial - flameout
2.5 oz Simcoe - flameout
1.0 oz Columbus - 12 day dry hop
1.0 oz Centennial - 12 day dry hop
1.0 oz Simcoe - 12 day dry hop
.25 oz Columbus - 5 days before keggins
.25 Centennial - 5 days before kegging
.25 oz Simcoe - 5 days before kegging

I brewed this over the weekend so it is too early to tell how it compares to Jamil's version of PTE from Brewing Classic Styles. Montanaandy

I don't know of a recipe to suggest but I think this is a great idea and will be picking up the pliny pack when it is released.

And here is the whole recipe.

Anyone have the AHS recipe?

 

[Steelers77]

Alright, here's what I came up with based on Vinnie recipe supplied by NinjaJoe. I will increase the Columbus 90min addition to 4/oz (because my Columbus AA is less that the recipe), and keep the rest the same. My Simcoe AA is .10 less that the recipe so it should be negligible. I think I will sell these for $12.25. Also I will package these according to addition, so you just add the whole pack at the appropriate time. What do you guys think.

Couple questions.

You state that your Columbus is less than that of the recipe. The recipe lists 13.90%, your hop thread has your pellet columbus listed at 14.2% and your leaf columbia listed at 16.6%. Is your pellet columbus no longer 14.2%?

Can we get a final hop #'s provided in the package? I came up with:

5.5 oz Columbus (6oz if you round up the 90min addition to 4oz)
2.25 oz Simcoe
2.25 oz Centennial

Total: 11 oz

That seem right?

With the pricing, is that $12.25 plus shipping or shipping included?

Thanks again! I know I'll be ordering this, and hopefully we can all agree on a couple more so that I can place an order for 2 or 3 of these "Hop Packs".

Mmmm, Gumbalhead, Two Hearted, Blind Pig, Hopslam...the options are endless!!!

 

[NinjaJoe]

Hmm, maybe not Gumballhead and Two Hearted since those are both single hop beers, but you get the idea.

 

[Steelers77]

Ninja,
I forgot to update my page with new AA, sorry about that. My Columbus pellets are 12.3 now, that's why there is an increase to 4/oz for the 90min addition. Also, I came up tith a total of 13oz of hops for this beer. 6/oz Columbus, 4.75 Simcoe, and 2.25 Centennial.

 

[Steelers77]

Shipping is not included but if you buy just this pack it will be around $6.60, that includes insurance via USPS.

 

[humann_brewing]

sounds pretty good!

On the AA stuff, I don't think it matters much in the late additions especially when your talking a .3 difference. Just adjust for the 90 and 45 minute additions, maybe the 30 if your feeling anal about it.

 

[Steelers77]

humann,
That's the approach I was taking, with the IBU levels we are talking about a few AA won't make much difference. Thanks for the input.

Awesome, and yes I can't add!

Mark me down for at least one. I'd like to order everything at once, so if you decide on some other "Hop Pack's" post them up!

Thanks again

*Edit*

Just throwing this out there, but if you do indeed do other Hop packs, I'd be interested in the following.

Stone IPA/Runiation
Rouge Dead Guy/Double Dead Guy
DFH 60/90 min IPA
Sweetwater
etc,etc,etc

 

[BleuChien]

I would be interested in this as well, please let me know if this comes to fruition.

 

[pericles]

Definitely me too: shoot me a PM if you get it together, or e-mail me at [email protected]

 

[sudsandswine]

I would be interested at well. Please let me know if you end up doing this.

 

[Sleepyemt]

Looking forward to it, as well as this recipe vs the other .....

 

[pipapat]

steelers 77 i think this is a great idea.

I use the aha recipe all the time.

 

[BrewsCampbell]

If you make this pack I will buy it, maybe even two!

 

[pipapat]

i brew 2 batches a month. 1 is never around more than about 3 weeks.
thank god for my keg system.
i dont know if i could keep up with bottling.

i did try a batch with citra added to dry hop it was great.
he does have citra fyi.

 

[rcm_rx7]

Count me in as another that would buy the pack. This would finally get me to order some other varieties in bulk as well. Let us know when this deal goes live!

 

[Steelers77]

The Pliny Pack is officially for sale! See post here:

[pericles]

I bought the pliny-pack about three weeks ago. It arrived promptly, and well packaged. The grains I ordered from MoreBeer got held up though, so I'm only just now brewing.

Another plus was that the hops were really well labeled: they're packaged based on WHEN you add them, so the 90 minute pack includes two different hop varieties, and so does the flame-out pack. I weighed each package, and they're correct weights.

Thumbs up to the vendor!

 

[pericles]

P.S.

I'll post an update when I can try the finished product.

Actually, based on the recipe Steelers77 used, there should be only one hop in the 90 min pack. Indeed 2 in the flameout pack however.

 

[Steelers77]

The 90 min is in fact just Columbus.

Anyone get this finished?
