Yup, that's the real PTE recipe.

 

[hio3791]

Brewed this Thursday night. OG was 1.066. Intense hop aroma! Pitched 2 packets of bry-97 and fermenting at 60F, it's already going pretty good! Can't wait!

 

[ultravista]

Never used BRY-97, hope it's like 001 or 56.

Went from 1.066 down to 1.010. Kegged last night. Aroma was amazing! Still bitter, a few weeks in keg will mellow bitterness down. Past the bitterness, the flavor was wonderful, intense citrusy flavor and aroma. Should make a fantastic beer once chilled and carbed. Can't wait!!

Never used BRY-97, hope it's like 001 or 56.

BRY-97 is Danstar's version of the West Coast (Chico) strain, just like 001 and US05.

Just ordered the kit from Farmhouse and believe it or not, they are out of US-05

And another goes in the primary. 6 weeks until heaven arrives in earth.

Took sample to local homebrew supply store. Brewmaster said it was the best he's tasted. A bit dryer then original. No credit to me, but nice having direct feedback. Since my experimental DIPA is ho hum, Pliny's on the brew schedule.

just finished my brew....OG 1.078.......it tasted kinda bitter.......hope it mellows out some

It will..trust me. After a few weeks, id have the mind set of tossing it. Then, amazingly, a couple weeks later would become the best beer ever brewed.

Guys, where I live there is no corn sugar, do you think it would be possible to switch with refined cane sugar?

 

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

Never seen this "soapy" looking stuff before.....I used US-05..........normal?

Plenty of online sites. Northern Brewer for example.

<-- Brazil!

So not an option unfortunately...will replace with table sugar.

Table sugar is fine. Typically what I use

Thanks for everyone who has contributed to this forum. It takes a while to digest all the information. I'm planning to try a clone at this and tried to suck in all the information I could about this recipe and others' experiences. I'll chime back in when I can do a comparison, but in the mean time here is my summary of the the PTE recipe on my own little blog page.

Btaz,

The link you provided for your blog seems to be dead. Can you post your summary? In particular, I'm looking for the water profile that you used.

Thanks in advance!!

My Web server is back up and my link should be working again. Here is the water profile I used

Calcium (CA) 76
Magnesium (MG) 13
Sodium (NA) 9
Bicarbonate (HCO3) 26
Sulfate (SO4) 133
Chloride (CL) 56

 

[crusader1612]

All the way from NZ. I am just polishing off a bottle of this. I now understand the hype behind it. The pioneering beer of IPA/IIPA. Well made. The only time I'll ever get to try it but just superb.
Tbh the whole RR Range is phenomenal. Sours are particularly well made.

Thanks for sharing. Been going back and forth between brewing a blond, RIS or Pliny tomorrow. Pliny won out.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Overboiled. Will probably be around 9% range. Hoppy and bitter as $hit...perfect!

Beersmith put my estimated OG at 1.071... We celebrated after it was hit.

Russian River's PEC is advertised as 1.071 og too... what am I missing...?

Ya, the wort was 140F when the picture was taken. It eventually settled at 1.080.

Favorite picture of the day. Toasting the greens..

website changed

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I had an open bag of mosaic. So put .3oz fwh and .4 during whirlpool. My recipe is slowly morphing from a true clone, but that's how we roll as HB'ers.

Oh and used your mineral profile. Thanks Btaz!

 

[Lpera]

Mine is going to the keg tomorrow, hit the OG and FG right at te spot...the smell is fantastic!!! Great chances to be the best of all my brews!

Thanks for the recipe!
