What are you brewing II ?

[animal_man]

Just finished up after a big day in the Brewery, brewed my mark I version of a LCPA. Kegged two AAAs, racked an american brown and a cascade pale ale. Looking for some advice on dryhopping the LCPA.

cheers

Browndog

As said above the brew itself is cascade/chinook, a couple of recipes ive seen people mostly dry hopping chinook. But then my local reckons that this will make it a bit too grassy. I chucked my chinook in at flame out.
I reckon a couple of cascade flower plugs to dry hop will do nicely!

 

[browndog]

I looked at the LCPA recipes on the site, some going back quite a way and wasn't really impressed with them, so concocted my own. I was figuring on a mix od cascade and chinook for dry hopping and it seems to be in agreeance, chinook to the fore, so I say 10g cascade, 20g chinook for 5 days.

cheers

[animal_man]

sounds good mate, i havent racked yet so might give it a try! It tastes fantastic, but its lacking a little aroma.
cheers.

Just finished my tweaked version of my SkunkFart Ale, I call it SkunFart II probably fairly tame compared to some of the recipes you fellas concoct up and call apa's.


23 lt into the fermentor.

2.75kg IMC pale malt
2.75kg Weyermann Munich I
0.5 kg Weyermann Carafoam
0.25 kg Weyermann Carared
0.10 kg Bairds Pale Chocolate
----------------------------------------------------------------
90min boil

10gm Simcoe (12%aa) 60min
10gm Chinook (12%aa) 60min
15gm Amarillo (8.9%aa) 30 min
15gm Cascade (5.9%aa) 30 min
15gm Amarillo (8.9%aa) 15min
15gm Cascade (5.9%aa) 15min

Will dry hop with 30gm of Cascade flower hops (8.6%aa)

Slightly tweaked from my first version, which was very nice but needed a little more malt flavour to come through.

Cheers

[Batz]

AFAIK LCPA is bittered/flavoured with Goldings and Cascade and run through Cascade and Chinook flowers in the hopback. If you wanted to replicate that effect, just chuck in about 10g each of Cascade and Chinook as a dry hop.

LCBA is bittered/flavoured with Cascade and finished with B Saaz in the hopback.

I don't agree

They use Cascade in their hopback

I well remember those inside spy photos Batz(and i agree with you).
And for the unlearned Jasony had a few posts long long ago on another forum and the lads from LCPA in a round about way telling him his recipe was pretty spot on.

Ended up with lower efficiency than normal for some reason. The only thing that stands out from a standard batch was I was fairly rushed with the sparge and didn't a fairly lackadaisical stir. It really seems to make a bit of a difference - more than 5% less efficiency than normal.

 

[neonmeate]

TD, tangent and Stuster - looks like some really good brews being made today!
at least in this sort of weather i don't feel guilty using the immersion chiller.

GO CHILL! no to DMS!

Hey NM. Opened a pack of Columbus pellets myself today... Geez they'z stinky buggers. Reminded me of Gum Trees. :blink:

Interesting stuff. :beerbang:

Warren -

 

[neonmeate]

speaking of gumtrees, the IPA i had at the wignpen recently served through a randall of victorian superpride tasted like a koala's favourite beer...
i dunno i think columbus smells more like oranges growing on pinetrees personally. great aroma considering the AA level.
