I do pretty much an identical beer but use 1010 instead... Gives a nice slight tartness to the beer which is good with the wheat...

I've always liked the sound of that yeast, never used it though. I think I often find myself using a single yeast strand over a range of beers before moving onto something more specific like that. I was also just using this 'smaller' beer as a bit of a step up for future APA/AIPAs.

I'll definitely have to give the 1010 a go one day though. Really enjoy this style of beer as a nice quaffer.

on pratty's suggestions i've decided to add a lot of hops at the end of boil, rather than as much initially:

I listened to a podcast today from the Brewing Networks Jz and Jp at the NHC in 2012 talking about the Can You Brew It challenge for the Lagunatis Hop Stoopid IPA. This is a super Ibu beer with Columbus. From memory recipe was something like this....( i add this as its the opposite of what we talked about on messages)

OG - 1.073
Abv - 8%
IBU - 185 ( if that is possible )

Malts - 97% 2-row Ale & 3% Victory Malt

The hopping schedule is crazy;

@ 90mins - 144g of Columbus
@ 12mins - 35g Cascade and 35g Chinook
@ Flameout - 56g Simcoe
Dry Hopping - again, 28g Columbus, 21g Simcoe and 14g Chinook

oh yeah. when i input the pliny clone recipe into beersmith it came in at about 273IBU, but the actual or perceived IBU from memory is about 90-95. i'll try an earlier hop addition IPA next time with same/similar hops and see how it goes. compare the two.

 

[malt_shovel]

Punched out about 40Ltrs of APA last night with a fellow brewer

9kg Pale Ale Malt
0.25kg Acid Malt
0.3kg Victory
0.35kg Caramunich I

OG around 1.056 (couldn't find where the wife stashed the refractometer....)

30gm Apollo (15AA%) at 60mins
then three lots of Ahtanum / Simcoe together split 35gm Ahtanum / 15gm Simcoe at 15mins, 5mins and flameout. 12gm of Gypsum to help get sulphates up relative to the Chlorides. Aiming around 45IBUs.

Haven't used Ahtanum previously, so keen to see what it offers.

I'm looking at getting something fairly simple down tomorrow morning - Just trying to get a few practice brews for my wedding in october to finalize some recipes (looking at bringing chesty with 6 kegs to serve on the night). I haven't brewed this for a while but I need a quick keg filler and it turned out preeeeetty nice last time so don't think too much will be changed.

US Wheat

50/50 pils/wheat

20IBUs some US hop (amarillo/cascade/citra.. just depends what I have in the freezer)

1.040

1272

Mashed in at 8am, cleaned up before midday.

Ended up with centennial for the hops and have a starter on the go from some remaining wort which finished at 1.044. Should have this fermenting away nicely tomorrow..

I'll be keen to hear your feedback, mate. I was looking at getting a pound of this as the description sounds great.

[Judanero]

Just finished cubing this to pitch tomorrow, it's a tweaking of one of Shawn's (Murrays) recipes.. can't remember where I picked it up though.

Midnight Harvest (Black Saison)- No chill

4 kg Pilsener malt (GER)
1 kg Wheat malt (AUS)
1 kg Flaked wheat (AUS)
500g Dark wheat malt (GER)
150g Carafa 3 (GER)

Mash @ 66 for 180 mins

(Will add 400g brown sugar after 48 hrs of ferment)

34 g Pacifica @ 40
25 g Pacifica @ cube hop

2hr boil

Brewbrite and 1 tsp yeast nutrient added at flameout

will use 2 x Belle saison packets for yeast.

Ferment at 20c for 48 hrs, add sugar, raise temp 1c per day for 6 days, hold at 28 for 72 hrs.

After ferment, add 20g of Cognac soaked oak chips, steep for 5 days then keg/ bottle.


Looking forward to this one!

 

[malt_shovel]

I'll be keen to hear your feedback, mate. I was looking at getting a pound of this as the description sounds great.

They were noticeably browner than the simcoe and have been frozen in vacuum bag but still smelt great. I am still keen to use them as a dry hop with the simcoe at the same ratio as the late boil additions. Source was yakima valley hand carried from the US.

I'll be keen to hear your feedback, mate. I was looking at getting a pound of this as the description sounds great.

Used it recently, gotta say, impressed, will be going again for sure, I did a side by side with Amarillo and the similarities are certainly there, will find the link. I think it was in the ahtanum thread, may have been in cube hops thread also

Hi brads brew,

Why only 40ibu? At 1064 I'd would have thought that 55-65ibu would have been better balanced?

 

[timmi9191]

40 ibu ipa?? Hmmmm isn't that like having half a pull??

 

[bradsbrew]

Yep 40 IBU is on the low side but I thought i would try for low IBU to match with the drier finish. My thinking is that an Aussie IPA would be more malt driven and along the lines of something between a tooheys old and a coopers sparkling with the addition of body and alc%.

The oats and high % of carared and choc should add the sweetness and creaminess that I would expect from an AuIPA.
