Difficulty in cooling down. Ended up pitching at around 70degrees. The near frozen bottles of spring, froze and split so I had to buy new and freeze.
Decent bubble just not vigorous. ON racking after 8-9 days, FG was closer to 1.020. Incredibly cloudy and full of shit (tangerine rind and hops and yeasties. Difficulty siphoning. Had to clear hose and valve several times. Tried to sterilize at every point but difficult.
Racked again after another week. Added 1 tsp gelatin to 2/3 cup water. Valve was open and I lost about a beer's worth. Crap. Added another tsp to 1/2 cup and siphoned remainder. Clarity was better, no chunks but still hazy. We'll see how gelatin works. FG is now 1.015.Taste was decent with that hint of orange but I was tainted by the thought of all that went wrong...
Learnings - Freeze water bottles but watch for over freezing. Use ice bags for the cooling of the wort still in the kettle. Quick chill at all costs (or not sterilization).

Notes: Briess Golden Light LME listed for calculations sake but actually used Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract - unable to find in the list
Unable to get London Ale III 1318 - supplier had White Labs Dry English Ale Yeast instead - Suggest using the London Ale III 1318 if you can get it, should contribute to the fruity esters more than the Dry English Ale
First dry hop after 2 days of active fermentation
Second dry hop 72 hours after first dry hop
*Also start diacetyl rest
Tried using my tap water in lieu of bottled water
*PH straight from the tap of 8.6 - managed to get it down to 7.2, hopefully this doesn't affect the final product
OG: 1.062
FG: 1.014
ABV 6.3%
*Update: Fermentation was delayed probably due to the high Gravity of the beer and not using a starter with the liquid yeast, pitched on Saturday afternoon but showed no signs of active fermentation until Monday Afternoon - suggest making a yeast starter or doubling the pitched yeast
**Notes during keg transfer: Colour is very dark compared to traditional NEIPA and far from Biggie Juice. Tastes of a tropical mix of Grapefruit, Passionfruit, Pineapple, Spice and Citrus. Very fruity and pungent on the nose. Subtle alcohol notes in the background reflecting the 6.3% ABV - could be a placebo having measured the ABV prior to tasting.
Cold crashed for 24 hrs prior to kegging and will carbonate @ serving pressure (10psi) for 2 weeks.
I used 250g of Vienna in my first attempt at this brew and I'm assuming the Vienna and possibly the choice of extracts have attributed to the darker colour - I'd suggest excluding the Vienna.
21/04/2020 - Beer tastes amazing. It has a beautiful creamy head, hazy and amber in colour with a vastly tropical flavour. Starts off semi sweet but finishes bitter with a marginal alcoholic profile. Missed the mark of a Biggie Juice clone but all in all a great drop of beer. Turned out more like a Pirate Life Tropical IPA. Will rename this recipe and try again with a different recipe for a biggie juice clone. |

Pitch yeast starter at 65° F (18°C) and ferment at 7 days.
Dry hop at 65° F (18° C) and lower the fermentation temperature slowly, about 2° F (1° C) each day, over the next 14 days until it reaches 34° F (1° C). Cold condition 10 days at 34° F (1° C), then carbonate and package. |

Notes: Kit recipe called for 2 lb of DME — I only used 1 lb. I also increased the batch size to 6 gallons to hit desired (lower) ABV.
Yeast starter — Initially thought I was going to brew this in mid-February, so I made this 500ml starter on 2/8/19. Realized on 2/10/19 that I would not be brewing that weekend, so I put it in the fridge. Pulled it back out on 3/26 and pitched it into another 500ml of starter wort. Cold crashed morning of 3/2/19. Decanted morning of 3/3/19 and allowed to sit at room temp for several hours before pitching into 6 gallons of wort.
Secondary fermentation — 3 gallons will stay in 6 gallon fermenter. 1.5 gallons will go into 3 gallon carboy with (INSERT AMOUNT) boiled kumquat puree. 1.5 gallons will go into 3 gallon carboy with (INSERT AMOUNT) boiled kumquat puree and (INSERT AMOUNT) szechuan peppercorns. |
