BeerFingers - 1.5Kg Amarillo SMaSH IPA

[loikar]

I hope you like hop tea, BF

You're a CAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNTTTTTT!!!

C'mon, just a touch of crystal for some balance, man!

really? 8Kg of BB Pale? you don't think that'll be malty enough with a 1095ish OG?

 

[manticle]

**** no but it's your recipe so brew it how you see it.

 

[DUANNE]

Yeah I did consider a double dry hop, and If I was able to crack open my fermenter lid, I probably would, but I can't risk the chance of infection on this one.
Stuffing around with kegs and pushing from one to another.

I think the difference also is this:
A lot of people dry hop into a 18c-22c beer. Correct me if i'm wrong, but in my mind, at that temp you'll also be extracting harsh acids as well as the resins you're after. Dry hopping in a beer that's 2c-4c will not extract these harsh acids as much and leaves the alcohol to extract the resins you're after and less of the harsh acids.

So I think maybe 500g for 7 days and then if it's still not there, another 250g for 5 (making it 1.75kg, I have more Amarillo )

With a brew @ nearly 10% ABV I dont think there will be any problem dry hopping 500g

Cheers,

BF

just my experience but having dry hopped at cold temps and warmer temps i find that you get 3/5ths of bugger all out of the dry hops added in cold conditioning, but with 500 grams im sure it will still be plenty. im not sure on the clarity you will get with this beer either isnt green beer meant to be for st patricks day only?

 

[manticle]

I dry hop in cold and notice a reasonable effect. As much as I want anyway (but that's 1g/L not 10)

Yeah, the hops will be contained in a bag, so I'll leave it there longer if i need to.

It won't be clear, it'll look like murray water, i'm expecting that.

Filter wont make much difference.

Will do

 

[black_labb]

I've got a filter that will make it clear as piss. it's in sydney and you need to feed it a pint at a time.

 

[manticle]

I'm in Melbourne so my piss gets chill haze. I tried adding isinglass to the cask but I just got blocked up.

Apparently blowing in the end of it helps.
Don't worry about sanitation, probably a bit late for that.

 

[manticle]

I can't quite reach.

Do you think I should ask for assistance?.

 

[Tony]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

dont filter it

the haziness in these beers are all the hop oils that you obviously want.

I have tried to filter super hopped beers with nowhere near as much as 1.5kg, and the oils block the filter every 10 liters

dont filter it!

I don't like your chances on takers.
Got a Vacuum cleaner with a blow attachment?

I've got two cats but their tongues are a bit rough.

Got a lady too but what we do in the filtering room, stays in the filtering room.

I have a feeling it will be 'challenging' to drink. Mate, only one way to find out. Give it a crack and let us know!

Turn them around

Yeah, If I were you, I wouldn't be putting that on display either.

 

[Thefatdoghead]

I used about 1kg of various hops in in a 40L batch IIPA recently which turned out really nice. Not for most people but I loved it. Interested on your little experiment mate!

@ Beerfingers

You don't want to waste the malt
