You can really taste the wrench... Exciting news to new yorkers and beyond these guys got picked up by a large distributor and they will start seeing distribution across state. Good schiiiiiit

I really enjoyed that one and I hope to see it closer than a 30-40 minute drive to get more.

This killer WC IPA, Thanks @afro_lou!

Mas good beer

Great beer

I've made a 2 row hill 56 before a few years back from the recipe that's on here. It was indeed a great beer! Hoping to try the real thing one day.

Would love to see that recipe. Great beer...thanks to Lou!

HB Roasty Stout.

Smacked.

HB Gin Lime Gose. Took to LHBS and they mentioned might be infected or just the bottle. IDK, how do you tell the difference between an infection and, you know, a normal Gose??

Here you go! Sorry it's so long but I figured I'd include the notes. The Belgian 2 row is a must with this to get the flavor right.

And for the sake of staying on topic I'm enjoying a fresh 2018 nugget nectar. Yum!

Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: California Ale Yeast
Yeast Starter: Yes
Additional Yeast or Yeast Starter: 1.25L
Batch Size (Gallons): 6
Original Gravity: 1.055
Final Gravity: 1.010
IBU: 40
Boiling Time (Minutes): 90
Color: 5.1 SRM
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 10 @ 68F
Tasting Notes: Firm Hop Bitterness, Crisp Malt Backbone with biscuity notes, citrus & pine.

After quaffing large quantities of Russian River R2H56 at the brewery I set out to make a homebrew clone. Vinnie Cilurzo was a huge help and is incredibly generous with information!

This is an awesome APA, bright yellow/gold in color with firm hop bitterness, white head and lacing and massive signature Simcoe aroma - Citrus, grapefruit, pine, resin and cat piss.

After 5 revisions, I've finally settled on what I believe is the closest clone I'm going to get. In side by side tastings

Batch Information:
Batch Size (fermenter): 6.00 gal
Bottling Volume: 5.50 gal
Estimated OG: 1.055 SG
Estimated Color: 5.1 SRM
Estimated IBU: 40.4 IBUs
Brewhouse Efficiency: 75.00 %
Boil Time: 90 Minutes

Ingredients:
------------
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
7 lbs 4.3 oz Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (1.5 SRM) Grain 1 60.5 %
3 lbs 14.4 oz Pale Malt, Maris Otter (2.5 SRM) Grain 2 32.4 %
13.6 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 3 7.1 %
0.55 oz Simcoe [12.20 %] - Boil 90.0 min Hop 4 23.5 IBUs
0.55 oz Simcoe [12.20 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 5 16.9 IBUs
1.00 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 mins) Fining 6 -
1.0 oz Simcoe [12.20 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 7 0.0 IBUs
1.0 pkg California Ale (White Labs #WLP001) [35. Yeast 8 -
2.00 oz Simcoe [12.20 %] - Dry Hop 10.0 Days Hop 9 0.0 IBUs

Mash:
60 min at 154F

Fermentation:
10 days at 68F. I've hit FG in as little as 4 days, but seem to average 6. I like to do a gravity check at 7 days and again at 10 and assuming I'm at 1.010 on both I keg.

Dry Hop:
I dry hop in the keg and have tried dry hop additions between 1.25oz - 3oz. For my personal tastes 1.75 - 2oz is the sweet spot and seemed closest to the draft R2H56 when it was hitting it's stride. For scaling the batch size up or down, note that the dry hop ratio is 0.3 - 0.5oz per gallon.

If dry hopping in primary/secondary, I'd dry hop for no longer than 7-10 days. I personally would bump the amount of dry hops by 15% and cut it down to 5 days dry hopping to try and avoid the vegetal flavor you can get when doing longer dry hop at warmer temps.

Holy IPA flight!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Holy IPA flight!

Oh yeah! The "This is Juice" is the North PhP answer to the South "WTF is Juice", different head brewers. "This Is Juice" had Phenols, clear Band Aid aroma. Been kinda disappointed in the specials so far. Electric Jellyfish still good tho.

 

[SailorJerry]

I loved the Electric Jellyfish. I haven't forgot that I owe you a return, I'm just struggling to get anything worth sending to anyone. Unless I get to make a trip to Big Grove, Pulpit Rock, or Toppling Goliath (for something other than I can get in stores - unless a new batch of Sosus, King Sue, or Fire Skulls and Money comes out), nothing is too worthy of a share.

HB NE IPA. Damn tasty now that it’s carbonated at the right amount.

The pics always make it look darker. Ugh

Had to get one just out of curiosity. First time in years when I've given a beer three chances and still ended up pouring it to the drain.

Vortex IPA (not pictured) while watching ‘The Two Bills’.

Now this while watching some NBA. Really good but no coffee involved. So the name deceived me on Tavour.
