    Grainfather Connect Brisbane

    Hi guys. I’m downsizing my brew setup (don’t really have the time these days) and going back to BIAB. so I’m selling my Grainfather Connect. I bought it in April 2018 and have only done 12 batches on it. Everything is in perfect condition, all original accessories included. I’m also including...

    Glad to hear it! I think you've come up with a recipe of your own invention there :) happy to have inspired you though.

    Pirate Life Throwback Clone - Session IPA

    Hey mate, I see the problem you're talking about. Looks like the Beersmith text export screwed up. The boil hops are done in 3 groups at 60 min, 10 min, and 1 min. Here's a corrected hop schedule: 17.00 g Simcoe Bulk Brewing [12.06 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 6 28.1 IBUs - 23.00 g Cascade Bulk...

    Pirate Life Throwback Clone - Session IPA

    Beersmith calculates ~7.5 SRM / 14.9 EBC. Here's a photo of my clone alongside the real deal (taken from my previous recipe thread). TBIPA on the left, clone on the right.

    Pirate Life Throwback Clone - Session IPA

    Hey mate. I realise this is 2 months too late, but figured I'd respond for the benefit of any other would-be Pirate Life cloners... Below I have posted my definitive clone recipe for Pirate Life Throwback IPA. This one has the correct grain bill and hop additions. To my tastebuds this is fairly...

    Pirate Life Throwback Clone - Session IPA

    Nice one, sounds like you will produce a great beer then :) I strongly recommend putting your dry hops in to something like a paint strainer bag, muslin bag, etc. I've dry hopped without a bag twice, and each time had massive issues getting the beer out through the dip tube. I recommend cold...

    Pirate Life Throwback Clone - Session IPA

    The main thing I'm doing to limit O2 exposure is fermenting in a sealed keg. No O2 ingress, except when I dry hop. I flush the headspace with CO2 a few times after dry hopping. Once fermentation is done, I do a closed transfer from the fermenting keg to a serving keg that has been purged with...

    Pirate Life Throwback Clone - Session IPA

    That's awesome! I'm chuffed that you're giving it a go. Yes my first two batches of this beer were BIAB. They turned out fine, although I have since increased the bitterness of the recipe (as detailed in my previous post). As far as clarification all I've done is cold crashed for a day or...

    Thick viscous beer in fermenter

    Honestly I reckon that sounds pretty good. Thick and juicy milkshake IPAs and pale ales are on fashion right now! Keg it and report back how it goes.

    My Pirate Life Throwback IPA clone

    I’ve thought of doing that before, but never tried it. This time around I’m fermenting in a keg, so my plan is to dry hop and then purge the headspace a few times to hopefully remove most of the oxygen.

    My Pirate Life Throwback IPA clone

    Thanks for that. Fixed the link. Thanks! Yes it's meant to have the balance (i.e. quite bitter) and hoppiness of an IPA, but without the high alcohol content. The attraction for me is I can have a nice hoppy beer or two on a school night without feeling the effects as much. I hear you on...

    My Pirate Life Throwback IPA clone

    I'm still continuing to refine this recipe in my thread in the IPA recipe forum. Made it for a third time today. Edit: fixed link.

    Pirate Life Throwback Clone - Session IPA

    Tomorrow I'll be brewing my third batch of this beer. I've decided to significantly up my bittering addition, as I realised that the "soft" bitterness I encountered with my early batches (which I mentioned in my other thread) was probably just a result of the beer not being bitter enough! I...

    Pirate Life Throwback Clone - Session IPA

    This beer is not a true American IPA according to the BJCP 2015 guidelines...but Pirate Life calls it an IPA, so I figure it should probably go here. Let's call it a speciality IPA :) This recipe produces a reasonably accurate version of Throwback IPA. The recipe was formulated by me with some...

    My Pirate Life Throwback IPA clone

    My second attempt at this beer is drinking nicely! Appearance is pretty much the same as the photo I posted above. I think fermenting in a keg and doing a closed transfer to the serving keg has made a big difference to this beer, because it has retained much more of the hop aroma than my...
