Notes: Based on Norther Brewer's Hefeweizen recipe.
Added dried elderberry at the end of the boil and dry to the fermenter in a ball with a magnet.
Started with too much water, so I boiled hard and added about 10 minutes to the end. Added sugar to boost the ABV to compensate for water. . .
The got a surprisingly high 1.055 OG.
Fermentation is roaring in 12 hours. Bubbling like crazy in airlock and visible in trub catch.
8 days: 1.015
11 days: 1.011 / Dropped second dry elderflower infusion
Occasional bubbles still visible in trub catch
Planning to bottle at 14 days, but surprised to still see bubbling.

This is a small batch to test the recipe for using extract. |

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: Pale ale is the Briess 2-Row Pale Ale. (difficult to find)
Can't call this beer a true American Strong Ale. It is a hybrid using a DIPA grain/extract bill and swapping the HOPS to a Hallertau (a German Noble Hop) and cutting the amount considerably. I am not a hop head.
3 weeks primary (temp 68 degrees)
4 weeks secondary (temp 64 degrees)
3 weeks bottle (took extra time to carbonate since most of the fermentables are gone by this time)
Ages incredibly well!
Qualities: Very smooth, round and soft mouth feel, not thick, lightly carbonated. Fairly sweet. Doesn't have a boozy smell, but there is a definite alcohol character to it in the nose when you drink. Similar to a good bourbon ale.
Update: This one really needs to age! I bottle aged 12 of these for 8 months and it is night and day different. |
