Westbrook IPA

[cantrell00]

basically divided the addition by the batch size in ounces & multiplied by 5.5. They may be rounded some...

Lb (converted to ounces) /1860 (60x31) * 5.5

 

[lilbova3]

You're right my apologies. I got mixed up using boil size rather than batch size.

 

[cantrell00]

No problem.

Lord knows I could screw up the math!

 

[lilbova3]

Just had a Westbrook IPA tonight and am assuming the new 15 min and WP additions of Amarillo were in it and it tasted awesome. I really love Amarillo and I think it pairs nicely with Cascade.

 

[cantrell00]

I'd assume they used it at 30 too.

 

[lilbova3]

Only Cascade and Chinook at 30 min

 

[cantrell00]

This is the closest I have ever gotten. It is dead on... Required a double dry hop to provide the volume of aroma but it is finally there. I had to much liquid to start so had to boil for an additional 5 minutes. Mash temp & duration is because of my HERMS. If doing a normal rest in a cooler, 60 min @ 150 degrees is fine..

[Sleepyemt]

Looks good! How much has changed since we looked at it?

 

[cantrell00]

Bumped the FWH to.50 oz. CTZ only.

Dry hop was changed to 2 oz Cent, .50 oz cascade, .50 oz Chinook for 7 days. Followed by another 2 oz of Cent in keg.

They are pulling more aroma from their WP process than I ever could ...

Mine is a tad more bitter but that was due to the extra 5 min on the boil.

No Amarillo as discussed above?

Also, 2 hour FWH??

 

[lilbova3]

The Amarillo is definitely new this year or at the end of last year. I remember when I first had this beer it had great pine and citrus aroma and flavor, probably from Chinook instead of Amarillo at 15 and WP. It depends on what you'd like to go for flavor and taste wise. Chinook or Amarillo additions along with Cascade at 15 and WP will produce a great beer.

 

[cantrell00]

No. They have only added Amarillo recently.

As for the FWH, I just made a note of how long it was in prior to the boil. Through the sparge, etc...

Not sure if that had a huge impact or not.

 

[hogwash]

My latest version of this has zero aroma. I must have done something wrong. I think the flavor is right on though. Need to do side by side still.

I had to double dry hop it to get it close to the original. The hops they use are probably much fresher than what we have access to.

 

[hogwash]

I usually get good aroma from 3oz. I had a co2 leak in the keg so maybe that has something to do with it.

 

[cantrell00]

I've often wondered how this IPA would be if fermented a tad dryer without a FWH & 30 minute addition.

I plan on doing that next.

Lowering the gravity a tad & mashing dryer @ 148. Shooting for 1.058/1.010.

Same grist

60 Min - 1 oz, Columbus/CTZ

30 Min - 0

15 Min - 1.14 Cascade - 1.03 Chinook
Whirlpool (30 min @ 175) - 1.14 Cascade - 1.03 Chinook.

Dry Hop #1, 7 days - 2 oz Centennial, .50 Cascade, .50 Chinook
Dry Hop #2, 7 days - 2 oz Centennial
