Mornington IPA clone - OG 1.074 & WP001 - ? sufficient yeast

[New_guy]

Cheers all, brew is going like a steam train and has dropped 26 points in a day and a half!

I'm guessing you know that 'coz you've taken a sample for your hydrometer test...how's the sample tasting?

Correct
Tasting pretty good - malt profile coming through nicely with crystal subtlety evident and good bitterness , nice bit of dry hopped citra to come!

Just finished off a bottle of Ballast Point Big Eye IPA, reminds me just how delicious a big, hoppy 7% beer can be...mind you I think it's something like 75 IBU...

 

[New_guy]

Yes its a bit low in IBU but I reckon it will be interesting

 

[New_guy]

Agreed - I've sorted some issues in beersmith and now have a correct 25lt batch size
Next brew is a stone brewery sublimely self righteous black IIPA

I shared a sixer of these last week in Cairns, I agree that it is an excellent drop. I don't usually like high alcohol beers (above say 5.5%) but the Ballast Point Big Eye had the balance just right. Beautiful smash of bitterness after a long day of paddling the Tully river. Can't wait to get my hands on some more.

Hi New_guy,

your recipe sounds interesting! Was wondering if you could post your 25lt batch one, as well as the hopps used, and maybe also the schedule. What temperature are you mashing on? Or just single infusion?

I would really appreciate your feedback on that, as i would love to brew that beer

An bring a bottle to share.

 

[tosa]

Yeah that would be great ,I let you know, how long would be good to wait before drinking it?

 

[New_guy]

Cracked this tonight - ended up doing citra dry hop @ 4.4 gm/Lt
It did crash out at 1.030 and is 5.74 ABV but i reckon its not to bad
Will be interesting when someone tries it who knows what they are talking about
Citra certainly makes itself known but it has a good malt character to balance it (it my uneducated opinion)
For all I know it could have every beer fault known to man
Crystal gives it a great colour

 

[pomsaleius]

Hey, bring some along on Tuesday, eh?

 

[New_guy]

Sure will Kev - looking forward to some feedback!

 

[carniebrew]

I thought it was delicious. I'm a real sucker for huge hoppy American IPA's. Bloody big fan of the original MP Brew IPA.

Can you post the final recipe you used?

I am going to brew again, have re-written recipe for 25LT and get IBU up to 65 and ABV 6.5

 

[carniebrew]

Crikey that's hard to decipher. Have you got Simcoe in there twice, with different AA%? First one looks like 17.3, 2nd time it's 10.4?

Is there a reason this thread is under the 'merri mashers"?
