Am very much looking forward to brewing this. Will aim for a 22L ferment volume to match the OG1.072 and abv7.2% listed on Sierra Nevada's website.

 

[Duff]

Have you brewed this yourself Gar?

 

[Gar]

Nope haven't tried it, somebody requested it a while ago and I thought I might as well add it here also

The original recipe in the magazine says OG1.070 - FG1.018, So I've tweeked the efficiency to get it a bit closer.

Let us know how it goes, I'd love to try it myself after my next brew :icon_cheers:

Tried it on the weekend liked it, but damn there is some hops in there. Really enjoyed their wheat beer. Pale ale was sold out !!!!

For those really chasing the bitterness, I have found after making a few different recipes from the BYO clone mag that the IBUs seem consistently a little low in terms of flavour against the beers they are cloning. Might have been a bumper alpha year or something, but I would nudge any 60 min hop additions up a bit for their recipes.

Cheers

I doubt you need a torpedo, or anything similar for dry hopping this beer on a homebrew scale. From memory the torpedo was developed to increase the contact between the beer and dry hops (on a commercial scale), as SN found that some of the dry hops they were adding via their standard method were still 'dry' at the end of the process (i.e no contact with the beer). On a home scale if you are simply throwing your dry hops in loose to the fermenter this would be fine.

Oh, and it is a very tasty beer

Cheers SJ

Could be due to the age of the hops you are using as well. No doubt JZ get's the freshest hops each time. JZ reports his IBUs based on Rager formula (or at least he does in the Jamil Show)

This beer is definately not for the faint or weak of heart ... a knee buckler after a 6 pack or so ... what I love about it is the lack of alc burn and the creeping up hops across and oer your palate ... I am assuming that this is the dry hopping coming into play .. I am a huge fan of this particular beer ... was diappointed with the tumbler ... I think it needed a lot more body to it.. there was more alc burn in that than in the Torpedo IMO... I will give this recipe a go ... and will let you know ... I love the use of citra .. and thought there was more in it than just in the dry hop ....

Cheers

I'm about to start my first all-grain brew based on this recipe, except my local home-brew store didn't have any Crystal hops in stock so the guy there suggested I substitute for Cascade. Does anyone think that this should work okay, or would I be best sourcing the Crystal or at least a more commonly suggested sub, like Hallertau?

I also decided to sub the Citra for Amarillo since I already have some of that and I hear that they are quite interchangeable (will just add more since Citra is apparently stronger).

Thanks in advance.

 

[HBHB]

If you're making a clone as such, then it'd be worth chasing down some crystal for the flavour and aroma

 

[Yob]

would have been nice if they had added the %AA to the hops so it could be adjusted..

ed: Doesn't SN also only use cone hops? wouldn't a 'true' clone recipe need to be adjusted for that also?

Love that beer though and the mash temp surprises me a little.

Just punched it into brewmate as is and came out with 1.081 with 75.7 IBU so some tweaking needed to get the target numbers to match
