No fair posting those while I'm at work.

I should have taken an after pic. The head retention was amazing and it left lacing all the way up the glass.

Great Recipe! I would like to try and brew this - although, I'd like to make 5 gallons of it (not the 6.5 as you had done!). Could I just scale EVERYTHING down? Thanks alot again!

 

[fightguy]

Can someone help a n00b convert this to an extract recipe? I am wanting to brew this next week. Sounds like it is going to give me mouthgasms

 

[Beerbrothas]

I made this hop schedule and an Irish red malt bill, mostly maris otter. Did not dry hop. I lost the hops by using Nottingham dry yeast. Next time I will dry hop and use the correct yeast.

Thanks for the recipe

Brewed this up almost identically to recipe (that's a first). Just returned from travels, and it'd been in bottle a week. Tasted.

EXCELLENT.

I'll edit this post with pics later, but it's a very fine IIPA with just the right sweetness. The hops are fairly citrusy in this beer. Very nice. In a couple more weeks this baby will shine. Thanks Biermuncher!

if i wanted to use a liquid yeast (via starter)... which yeast would y'all (op?) recommend?

i THINK wyeast 1056 is the same yeast as the safeale, but wanted to double check.

Wyeast 1056 (liquid) or S-05 (dry) would be fine choices here. I used S-05.

 

[Apoxbrew]

thanks!!!

and how much of the s-05. the recipe calls for a "but load" LOL... is that one packet or more? hehehe

One packet per carboy. Rehydrated.

so i was going to brew this up this weekend and got to thinking that my 10gal mash tun might not be big enough...

this is my first all grain and while i know it has the water capacity for this much grain, i don't know how grain reacts with the water in terms of swelling and what not, nor do i know what 21lbs of grain even looks like volume wise, so was wondering if a 10gal MLT will do the trick?

EDIT: Nevermind... found this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/how-big-your-mash-tun-needs-123585/

It's gonna be close!!! But it should work.

 

[GodsStepBrother]

Getting off work early (right now)! Got a keg of all cascade IPA and another of Oatmeal stout on tap! Got everything to brew this bad boy up, pack of smokes.
Life is good!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmm damn I love this brew, thanks biermuncher! I am about to finish my first batch and this is one I am DEFINATLY going to brew again immediatly

 

[Cbaddad]

Hey guys,

Can someone help me construct a version of this recipe using the hops I have on hand? I am pretty new to this with only 14 batches under my belt. Six of them AG.
My list is below. I'd really like to try and work that Nelson and Falconer's in as i am a huge fan of Alpine's Nelson. Thanks in advance. I am not opposed to grabbing a few ounces off the original list, but I am trying to use some of this stuff up. Are there any good substitutions that jump out at you? Thanks in advance.

Pellets
Nelson Sauvin - 4 oz @ 12.4%
Liberty 3.5 oz @ 3 %
Cascade - 2.5 oz @ 6.5%
Fuggle - 2 oz @ 4.8%
Falconer's Flight 2 oz @ 10.5%
Styrain 1.8 oz @ 4%
Warrior - 1.1 oz @ 17.2%
Simcoe .9 oz @ 12.2%
Willamette .95 oz @
Magnum .25 @

 

[Cbaddad]

I ended picking up most of the hops as called for. Will be substituting liberty for crystal and either the Nelson or Falconers for the Summit. Couldn't locate those two. Hope to brew it next weekend.

 

[Cbaddad]

So, one more question. Are you targeting 6.5 gallons post boil knowing you will lose half a gallon to the hops and break material, or are you fermenting in something larger? My buddy and I are trying to figure this out. Are you pitching yeast onto 6.5 gallons or something more like 6 or 5.5 or lower?

Anyone help a noob out?

 

[carrolte]

Went from 1084 down to 1017 for 80% attenuation.

At 8.8% and just over 100IBU's with nearly 5 ounces of dry hop...this is going to be ecstasy.


Someday maybe they'll update this gravity-to-IBU chart to encompass some "real" beers.

Here's what I've come up with.
I figured on doing a late extract addition for several reasons, one being that the bittering hops will be in there for a bit longer, and in my head that makes it better

1 lbs Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 5 7.0 %

The corn sugar goes into the boil pot at the time of sparging. Stir it up good before flame on so the sugar does sit on the bottom and scorch.

Just want to be clear, im brewing this today. The corn sugar will be in for the whole boil, right?

thanks.

Update- well brewed this up yesturday. My sg was 1.085 little under but only my 3rd ag, still learning my setup. Made a mistake, miss read the hop schedule and added the crystal addition in on the full 60min boil. I did everything else right so hopefully doesn't com out bad. It is happy and ferment away at 64.

As long as the sugar gets up to a rolling boil, it doesn't really matter. You just want to be sure it is thoughly dissolved and blended with the remainder of the wort. There is no magic time limit though.

 

[Bucks-04]

How will adding the crystal hops at the beginning of the boil effect my beer?

 

[baumanbuilder]

I just did the extract version of this last night. I'm very excited. My OG is 1.096. as I think I didn't use enough water in the boil.

 

[jamesrm]

Brewing this tomorrow, can't wait Exact copy but doubled, using Galena instead of Nugget due to availability.

 

[jamesrm]

Well, doubling this recipe was really pushing what my Brew Magic could handle, but I got through with the primary beer at 14 gal 1.08 SG and produced 6 more gallons of a small beer at 1.048 SG . I have never made a small beer before, I just did a 30 mindays boil on the previously used hops, so it will be a fun experiment.

 

[pola0502ds]

so, I did not add the corn sugar to this recipe. I completely forgot. How is this going to effect the flavor?

 

[flananuts]

Question for any of you that run this in a SS keg single tier, any challenges with getting a stuck mash with a 10 gallon batch grain bill. I'm thinking that my rig may not be able to handle 36+ lbs of grain. Have any of you used rice hulls or other forms. I'm likely going to be under 36lbs since my target is 7.8% at 70-75 eff.

I use rice hull on all my recipes. Just makes the process smoother and actually helps my efficiency. I don't want to give a stuck sparge second thought...regardless of the recipe.

 

[flananuts]

How much rice hulls did you use for your batch? I'm building my recipe now and look forward to it.

 

[BierMuncher]

Not so much about weight as volume with rice hulls since the weigh next to nothing. For a normal five gallon batch I'd use may two of these.

For your purpose, I'd recommend maybe four.
