Notes: Goal is to make a wheat ale with moderate fruit aroma and taste, not just background flavor. Decided on wheat and sweet extracts to entice family members who are not too fond of beer. Planning on splitting the batch in half, and making 3 gal a tropical fruit, and the other 2 gal leaving as a plain wheat beer.

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. |

Notes: Added Irish moss 10 min prior to flameout.
Pitched yeast directly into primary and then aerated.
I added the oats to the steep and moved them over to the boil kettle. Next time would just add them to the kettle and not bother to steep them.
Active fermentation in 6 hours. Moved to secondary on day 2 and dry hopped. SG was 1.017.Almost didn't catch it in time. Very aggressive fermentation. Tasted fairly bland at day 2. Above calculations show IBU will be too high but does not seem to be the case. |

Notes: Originallythe hopping was 100% E.K. Goldings, but from the second batch on thebittering hops were changed to Centennial, which were later blendedinto the finish. When Goldings weren’t available Storm switched toWillamette, and when he switched to Zeus (AKA Columbus) he wouldblend in either Centennial or Cascade into the finish. At one pointdry hopping was abandoned and after Shaftebury (the bottomless sourceof 1187) moved to Richmond, Storm started culturing their own 1968.When Storm went to a silo (vs. 25 kg bag) system ESB was replaced bya more generic base malt with constantly changing specialties to tryto “get that flavour back”. I know, it’s a little long-winded,but Hurricane is a classic Vancouver IPA with a cloudy past that canbe difficult to pin down.

Notes: To commemorate Todd's visit to North Adams, we sampled Heady Topper, Focal Banger, and Pliny the Elder. We opted to try to replicate the Pliny recipe. WE actually used Pale Ale DME which is 6 L but is not in the selection dropdown. We also used a double packet of Safale 05. The yeast was rocking after less than 24 hours. The OG was around 1.084, much higher than above. I have a feeling that the IBU's are higher too. The process was pretty much standard - we boiled 3 gal, added almost 3 gal of near frozen water to get to the 5.5 marker. Got to chill the wort in the snow due to the recent storm that brought 10".
Tasted after 2 weeks in bottle and fiery and clean with a different bitterness than I am used to. Definitely taste the high ABV as even the high IBU's don't mask it. But still balanced and quality. Wish I had a Pliny for direct comparison. |
