Notes: This hazy double IPA was formulated to showcase the tropical and juicy aromas from BSG Hops’ Zamba™ blend and the minty and green-apple aroma notes from German Polaris hops. The grist is typical for the style, with a little boost from sucrose to increase wort gravity without adding non-fermentables or additional malt flavor. The hopping schedule and yeast strain are intended to set the stage for aroma retention and biotransformation while keeping hop bitterness in check.

Recipe creator Ashton Lewis says, “The name is also a bit odd and was inspired by the recent Great Conjunction and the use of North Star Pils ™ malt and Polaris (a.k.a. the North Star) hops.”

Ingredients:
MALTS & ADJUNCTS
6.5 lb. (2.95 kg) Rahr North Star Pils ™ Malt
3.25 lb. (1.47 kg) Rahr Red Wheat Malt
1.5 lb. (680 g) flaked oats
6 oz. (170 g) Weyermann® Acidulated Malt
1 lb. (454 g) sucrose @ 60 min
HOPS
0.5 oz. (14 g) Polaris, 20% a.a. @ 60 min (10 AAU)
0.5 oz. (14 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a. @ 60 min (5 AAU)
1 oz. (28 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., whirlpool/steep at 158˚F (70˚C) (20 AAU)
1 oz. (28 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., whirlpool/steep at 158˚F (70˚C) (10 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., dry hop at day 2 (30 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., dry hop at day 2 (15 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., dry hop at day 4 (30 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., dry hop at day 4 (15 AAU)
YEAST
Fermentis SafAle K-97, Omega OYL-044 Kolsch II, or Lallemand LalBrew Köln yeast.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
1 cup (190 g) corn sugar (if priming in bottles)
Specifications:
Original Gravity: 1.064 (15.7°P)

Final Gravity: 1.012 (3.1°P)

ABV: 7%

IBU: 35

Directions:
This recipe uses reverse osmosis (RO) water. Add 2 tsp. calcium chloride, ½ tsp. calcium sulfate (gypsum), and ¼ tsp. sodium chloride (non-iodized) to the mash water before mashing-in. Note that acidulated malt is included in the grist bill; mash pH following mashing-in should be about 5.4.

Mash the malts at 154°F (68°C) for 60 minutes. Start recirculating wort. Sparge slowly and collect 6.5 gallons (24.5 L) of wort. Heat to boiling and boil the wort 70 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Adjust original gravity post-boil with RO water as required.

Chill the wort to 158°F (70°C), add third kettle hop addition, let steep for 10 minutes, and continue cooling wort to approximately 68˚F (20˚C). Pitch yeast, and ferment between 60 ˚F and 68˚F (15.5–20˚C) until complete.

Dry hops should be added on day 2 and day 4 of fermentation. If using hop bags for dry hopping, remove bags on day 7; if not, rack to secondary fermenter or keg equipped with spunding valve. Complete fermentation and any hop creep following dry hopping should be finished by about day 21.

Prime and bottle condition, or serve from keg if naturally conditioned during aging.

PARTIAL-MASH VERSION
4.4 lb. (2 kg) Briess Light Pilsen Dried Malt Extract
3.25 lb. (1.47 kg) Rahr Red Wheat Malt
1.5 lb. (680 g) flaked oats
1.25 lb. (567 g) sucrose @ 60 min
Perform a mini-mash with the wheat malt and flaked oats at 154°F (68°C) for 45 minutes. The steep method is suggested using a grain bag and 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) steep water. Remove the grain bag from the steep after 45 minutes, gently pour hot water over the steep bag to improve yield, add dried malt extract, and adjust kettle volume to 6.5 gallons (25 liters). Bring to a boil and follow the remaining recipe as above.

Notes: 11/17/18: Originally created this recipe like five years ago and we never got around to it. Well, we sucked at IPAs for a while but we have slightly more confidence with them now.

This has been adapted for compatibility with our crazy amount of grains from Valley Malt's Community Supported Brewing program, hence the inclusion of local 2-row, honey malt and Warthog Wheat.

It's also not intended to be a modern NE style IPA. In fact, the hope is that we can make this one a bit more "old-school" with a modern flavor. We'll be using Whirlfloc and a clean yeast to try to achieve this goal. *crosses fingers*

Update: About 10% lower efficiency than we wanted, but okay. Ended up collection 4.75-4.8 gallons. Slightly different IBU due to messing around with hops to get things back on track, but not a huge deal. Threw a bunch of Super Pride in at whirlpool temp to make up some of those lost IBUs. Everything else seems to have gone well. Added one Whirlfloc tab and 4 tsp of yeast nutrient at 15 min.

Notes: This was a crazy-tasty beer. Simple and quick for the beginner but a truly delicious beer. I found that my friends and family all loved it from the beer-snobs to the light beer drinkers. A real crowd pleaser!

Basic Guidelines:
Steep the crushed grains in 1.5 gallons of 160°F water for 30 minutes. Remove and sparge into the boil kettle. With the heat off, add all extracts and sugars to the kettle and stir to dissolve completely. Carefully bring to a boil, stirring to avoid scorching and watching for boil-overs. Once a rolling boil has been achieved, add hops according to the schedule and any other additives when listed. After the boil is complete, remove from heat and begin to cool; an ice bath or a wort chiller help to bring the temperature down quickly. When the wort is cool, add it to a clean and sanitized fermentor. Add water until the volume is 5 gallons if necessary. Once the wort has dropped to below 80°F, aerate well (don't forget to take a hydrometer reading) and pitch the yeast. (also consider Wyeast 1056 American Ale, 1450 Denny's Favorite Ale Yeast or Dry Fermentis Safale US 05) ***Add 1 oz Dry Hop Mosaic*** Attach a blow-off tube and ferment at desired temperature for the yeast strain. Rack to a secondary fermentor when krausen has receded and beer begins to clear. After fermentation and conditioning are complete, bottle or keg your beer. Allow to condition again and enjoy!

Notes: Note the malt is NZ Gladfield Lager malt, not UK.

Actual OG: 1045; final 1008 and primed with 5g maltodextrin/500ml bottle so actual ABV close to 5%. Fermentation lasted 4 days. Went over 17C a bit but no more than 20C.

Result: Not bad. A bit unbalanced (too hoppy) for such a light body but the flavour of the (superb local) malt still manages to come through. Did bottle 2 x 500ml before the dry hop and thought it tasted better than the main batch.

Notes: From Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine, Aug-Sep 2020

This homebrew-size recipe is based on the fast-selling triple IPA from Reuben’s Brews. Emphasize yeast health with a big starter, generously dry hop, then give it enough time to cold condition.

Batch size: 5.5 gallons (21 liters)
Brewhouse efficiency: 75%
OG: 1.092
FG: 1.016
IBUs: 50 ABV: 10%

Adjust your water profile to ensure a mash pH of 5.3 and a chloride-to-sulfate ratio of 3:1. Mash the grains at 148°F (64°C) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to obtain 6 gallons (22.7 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the corn sugar and hops according to the schedule. Whirlpool for 10 minutes.
After the boil, chill the wort to about 67°F (19°C). Aerate the wort and pitch a big, healthy yeast starter. Ferment at 69°F (21°C). After primary fermentation is complete, add the dry hops for three days. Ensure a full diacetyl rest in case of refermentation—if possible, test for VDK levels (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com). Crash to 38°F (3°C) or lower for at least a week, then package and carbonate.
