OG 1.101
FG 1.004
Unplanned experimental recipe. Goal, to achieve a brew somewhere on the spectrum of saison-mead-ale
22 navel oranges juiced through Breville juicer. Est. 23grams sugar per orange (1.11 lbs), 46oz in volume.
Juice added at 10min to pasteurize
--------------------
7days: transfer to secondary
2lbs raw unprocessed honey added
Champagne yeast added
-------------------
14days:
1lb raw unprocessed honey added
(bubble 5sec intervals within 24hrs, so yeast still firing)
------------------------
1month:
Bottled using 1/2cup of raw cane sugar
Tastes pretty good. Fairly sour beer, but not funky at all. Fair amount of residual flavor and tongue tingling from the orange peel and ginger.
As original gravity was not taken due to multiple additions of honey, the estimate above is 1.101
Final gravity 1.004, and it certainly feels boozy after a few drinks.
-----------------------
April 3 2016 update
very nice head, very nice flavor other than being a little harsh. Cant wait to drink this in several more months and years.
------------------------
12/26/16 opened a bottle at Christmas, all the flavor still there..maybe a little dryer...really drinks like a hopped champaign |

Notes: Fell for the hype on Northern Brewer's website about "rare" South African hops. So I bought an 8oz bag of the best sounding one, African Queen.
Use 2nd gen 2017 WY1272 culture. Typical IPA water chemistry and mash schedule.
Brewed 6/11/17, stats as noted. Tweaked hop schedule to include FWH. Overshot mash temp to 156F. Discovered thermometer on pot is reading 4deg lower than old thermometer. Made "vitality starter" with 1L of wort taken after boiling batch for 10min, after FWH charge, before 60m charge. Used small mason jar of 2nd gen 1272; starter was krausening by the time I pitched it.
I was a bit underwhelmed by the aroma of the AQ hops. They are very similar in earthy, danky aroma to CTZ, so they should play well. There was a faint fruitiness in the aroma which must be the gooseberry as the descriptors indicate. Hydro sample didn't have much of hop flavor, and I can already tell the bitterness will come across as half or less of what the calc'd IBUs indicate. We'll see how well the hops carry through after dry hopping.
Update: kegged carbed and on tap as of 7/6/17. Its not bad. Ended up as a kind of generic IPA/PA. There is a firm, danky bitterness that balances the malt bill really well. If I concentrate, I can pick up a very subtle fruitiness that must be those gooseberries the packaging indicated. I really like the malt backbone on this one. The 1/2lb of crystal wheat was a very nice addition that brings a creamy subtle sweetness and some character and color to an otherwise generic malt bill. For whatever reason, this beer pairs exceptionally well with a fine cigar, particularly Macanudo Cafe series.
Overall this wasn't a bad beer. I think I just had higher expectations over the hyped up hops. I believe it would grade out well as a typical copper colored American IPA. I'll continue to enjoy it with the occasional cigar, and try to do a better job coaxing the flavors out of the remaining 3oz of African Queen hops I have in another IPA recipe with a few other varieties. I'm thinking Pac. Jade and Simcoe would be a good start. |
