100+ Ibu Recipies

[Doc]

Sweet Jesus Doc, you just get more and more out there, I would love to brew a beer like that, but the fear of not being able to drink it all just puts me off , are they as nice as you say, I know there is a big following, and I know you have been doing this for a while, tell me, is it worth the risk? :unsure:
Oh and how many kilo of Maris otter is there?
Edit
Actually redo that whole recipe, Some of the malts and amounts have gone by by

Cheers
Andrew

Grain all weighed and crushed.
Hops all weighed and mixed. 1kg of hops fits perfectly into a 2litre ice cream container. Yep, 2 litres of hops, and they smell awesome.

Bring on Saturday.

Whoa DR, that's some way to assess the flavour of those '06 US hops! I think a stubbie of that would make you gag for air and then fall asleep!

Nah, that is just clearing out the old stock. Very little '06 stock is making into this brew.

The brew is done.
Been planning this one for months. Finally brewed and in the fermenter.
22 litres of 1.091 ~400IBU beautifully sweet orange wort.
Now for the big slurry of yeast combo (WLP001/WLP051) to turn it into beer
The double hopbacks worked a treat again as well. Tooks some pics and willpost later.

Beers,
Doc

Here are the pics from the Inifinity + 1 brew today.

Already 200 gr gone (Mash hops and FWH) but still plenty there.


This is what each addtion looked like.


This is what the entire boil looked like


End of boil. Great colour.


The dual hopbacks. The hop sludge after transfer to the fermenter.
Notice the depth of the hop debris.

Smelt awesome.

33 litres post boil. 22 litres into the fermenter.

Doc

 

[DJR]

Damn, did you actually get any wort out of that mess?

 

[Doc]

Yep 22 litres into the fermenter from 33 litres post boil
Some loss in the hopbacks too.

Doc

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

Possibly a little late Doc but if you had kept the hop sludge you could bottle it and use it as a sort of replenishing cream/mud mask for the ladies that aren't bitter enough :blink:

Nice work on the Infinity + 1.

[Doc]

Hahahah, great idea TDA.
In fact the garden wheelie bin is holding the hop sludge .........

[Doc]

It been fermenting for a couple of weeks, so flogged a sample tonight.
Already down to 1.021 so sitting nicely at 9.5%. Hopefully it will drop a few more points yet and come in at 10%.
Great orange colour and awesome aroma. The flavours are very intense but not acrid or astringent. It is also quite viscous. Think of a port or muscat that is orange in colour with hops
Tempted to dry hop it as well; but will have to see if I can be bothered.

Beers,
Doc

Dry hop! Dry hop! Dry hop! Dry hop! Dry hop!

:super: h34r:

 

[Duff]

Dry hop! Dry hop! Dry hop! Dry hop! Dry hop!

:super: h34r:

Don't tempt him CJ. He was thinking about it on Sunday

Cheers.

It might be appropriate at this point to ask Doc the question:

What malt additions do you add to your hops?????

 

[Doc]

I'm down with dry hopping.
I used these hops during the boil (and hopback) Amarillo, Columbus, Centennial, Chinook, Cascade, Ahtanum, Challenger, Glacier, Galena, Northern Brewer so what do you suggest for dry hopping. I have an extensive hop inventory.
Warrior, Nelson Sauvin, Target, NZ B Saaz, NZ Hallertau Aroma, Pacific Jade ...... ????

Doc

 

[Stuster]

I think NS would be the best of the ones you mention. You don't have any Columbus left?

 

[Doc]

I have Columbus left, but just looking to mix it up just a bit more by introducing an 11th hop

Doc

 

[DJR]

Just not NZ Hallertau Aroma - dryhopping with that tastes like freshly mown wet grass :unsure:

B Saaz or NS would be good - but you probably don't need it. :lol:

 

[Voosher]

B Saaz or NS would be good - but you probably don't need it.

You probably don't need over a kilogram of 11 different hops either.

But somehow, I don't think that's the point...
