Notes: Added a hop tea to the bottling bucket of 1oz Centennial, 1oz Idaho 7, and 1.5oz Mosaic. ~1lt of water @155F then left to cool with hops for about an hour. Strained and added to bottling bucket with priming sugar prior to syphoning fermenter.

Tasting notes -
OH wow that's way more bitter than I had intended. The hop tea tastes weird at first, but after ageing in the bottle for 2 weeks or so it tastes like brewery quality dry hopped beer. Huge hop punch. Doesn't taste as "freshly opened pellet bag" as just dry hopping though. The Idaho 7 completely overwhelms the other hop additions (which is good because I did want that for THIS batch) I'd stick with Centennial + Mosaic + Cascade/Citra/mandarina combo for the fruity kick this one is very piney and pithy, and I'd rank the IBU at more like 45-60.

Things I'd change-
Grain bill is perfect, but I think I'd keep all hop additions to no longer than 20min because the IBU is incredibly deceiving when using this many hops. I'd also probably back off of the Idaho 7 additions and swap it out for something more fruity like Citra or Galaxy.

Notes: Use large grain muslin bags for hops since they are whole cone. Remove at end of boil so whirlpool works correctly. This is why post boil pre-chill time is listed as 0 minutes even though we will whirlpool for 10 and rest for 10.

Starter: pour 0.5 L water to flask, add 11.4 oz of DME and yeast nutrient, stir until dissolved. Add water to 1.25 L, heat until pasteurized. When liquid temperature has come to room temperature pour 2 vials of yeast into flask. Cover and spin at room temperature for as long as possible.

Add honey and molasses 48 hours after pitch, when full kreusen will have been established. The lag phase will have ended and there will have been a day and a half of the exponential phase. We are starting with enough yeast for 1.071 OG, which is what the wort will be at pitch. This will ensure that the yeast present during lag get the full benefit of lag and are healthy (if we added the amount of yeast we need for the full 1.079. beer we are making to wort that is only 1.071 there won't be enough nutrient for each cell and they will be less healthy, this is what over-pitching refers to). After the beginning of the exponential phase there will be enough yeast cells to handle the addition of the honey and molasses; they will have gotten a good start on the complex malt sugars, especially maltose, and will not selectively ferment the simple sugars from the honey and molasses. This protects the fermentation from the problems that can arise from adding a significant amount of sugar adjuncts to the malt and will get the beer to the right FG (not too sweet) while maintaining the honey and molasses notes.

Add an oz of bitter dried orange peel and an oz of sweet dried orange peel to a muslin bag to secondary. Make a tea with 3 cloves and add it to secondary as well, with the hops in a muslin bag. Taste frequently and pull when desired clove flavor has been achieved. Cloves are very strong and can easily overwhelm and even ruin a beer.

Notes: Have not brewed this beer yet and this is just a vaguely guessed recipe. the Spice mixture is a mixture taken from an award winning Pumpkin spice beer and the grains used is taken from Crown valley website. The exact grain ratio is a guesstimate.

website reads:
Our Imperial Pumpkin Smash is deliciously roasted with dark chocolate and toffee notes with a hint of smoke and a little spice from the hops that give it a pine note. The pumpkin adds body and character for a great beer.

Style- Imperial Pumpkin Stout
Alcohol- 10.6% ABV
Hops - Chinook, Magnum & Sazz
Malts - Pilsner, Goldpils, Chocolate, Flaked & Roasted Barley
IBU - 48

Notes: This brew won gold in the Sangre de Cristo Craft Brewers SMaSH Competition. (Single Malt and Single Hops) Very hop forward but the Citra kept it from going over the top.

Inspiration came from reading of a Hungarian brewery that came up with a "hoplager" as their answer to the American IPA. Not sure what their IBU's came in at but I know I exceeded it. Never planned on it winning and was striving for outlandish. I thought I hit my mark but everyone who's tried it, liked it. (I'll try more hops next time ;) )

If you choose to make this beer make sure you do a good diacetyl rest and give it plenty of time to lager. Mine came out crystal clean with no off flavors. (that's what saved it with the judges)
