Notes: =========================================
12/24/22
beer came out really dry and really insanely bitter. still drinkable but mor ebitter than any beer ive brewed or tasted. i want to blame the amarillo and an di cant remembe rif i also added el dorado? anyway i think the evergreen is ok, maybe dial down the ibu a little. also this beer i adjusted the water on brew day after mixing up my waters for two diff beers.
next time i think add some crystal malt. if using lutra, mash higher, or otherwise use us05. go with the evergreen base and dry hop with something safe and fruity like citra.
=========================================
11/22/22
did not yet take FG but guessing (high balling) 1009 it is really dry.
the beer is extremely bitter the first couple days. the beer is kegged and carbed a few days ago although even today its still been only 10 days since brew day. its starting to mellow out a little bit but its def on the bitter side. really nice pine though. wondering if i should dry hop in the keg with citra or mosaic to round it out. also wouldnt mind trying it side by side with stone ipa to see how truly bitter it is.
anyway, next time def try the crystal malt and maybe skip or reduce the sugar. its really nice light bright yellow color but too dry. also re-examine your water, either go back to the standard light colored and hoppy profile or maybe try 1:2 chloride to sulfate ratio.
=========================================
11/10/22
i messed up on brew night and used my ideal water i setup for this beer on the porter. so had to make an impromptu water adjustments to the tap to come out with ~1:3 chloride to sulfate ratio plus some calcium and stuff. hopefully it will still come out sharp bitter crisp ....aye smh
also updating recipe - brewed this on igloo/digiboil setup, 1065 OG for 66% efficiency (i think that stop and wait batch sparge really helps) and used 1 pack dried lutra. added high krausen hops at pitch
=========================================
11/5/22
next gen of wcipa. thinking more body, posibly c15. mix of magnum and something else piney for bittering. reworked the water for 1:3 chloride to sulfate (hoppy profile). need to figure out hops though. would like to dry hop with something dank and piney plus something fruity like citra to really have an in your face hoppy west coast...
=========================================
6/28/2022
pretty sure FG was 1.002 or 1.004. need to stop prolonged mash and instead mash out after an hour.
this beer was good but came out really dry and thin, watery. it is indeed 7% tho, bitterness is there but prob could be increased. the beer is good on its own and could be rebrewed just like this except with a mashout.
however for attempting to achieve some of the more mindblowing west coast ipas, i think needs a little more bitterness and a bit more dry hop. this batch had 12oz i would like to retry with 16-20 total oz, a little more in the frontend (maybe first wort) or 60 minute and then several more ounces in dry hop.
=========================================
5/26/2022
brew day last night. frustratingly low on efficiency despite 2 hour mash. did full biab style / no sparge with about 9.75 gallons strike water so lower efficiency should be expected but i didnt think that much. need to get a pH meter, possibly my pH is off and i dont know it. i keep adding acid malt to every brew maybe its effing something up. i hit 8 gallons pre boil which usually boils down to 6 in an hour but possibly next time could plan to boil for 90 or 120 mins.
starter i made last week sat in chest freezer for a week and smelled a little suspect. tossed that and just pitched a single pack of us05.
updating recipe to reflect actual brew day stats
was originally targeting
preboil 8 / 1051
postboil 6 / 1068
fermenter 5.5 / 1068
FG 1011
ABV 7.4%
eff 68%
actual
preboil 8 / 1045 (without sugar)
postboil 6.75-7 / 1055
fermenter 6 / 1055
FG 1011
ABV 6.1%
eff 58%
=========================================
5/16/2022
initial recipe creation. pretty straightforward malt bill and hop schedule to highlight these evergreens.
need to figure out ideal water profile. none of my west coasts have come out all that bitter. would like to start with tap water. not sure how much i trust the BF light colored and hoppy anymore....
as of now im going with the BF version its 3:1 cl to so4 which i think is the important part. this requires diluting tap water with half RO. |

| Notes: The idea behind this recipe is to put some extra hop character to balance the sweetness of the Weyernmann Smoked malt. I call it "Oter smoked" because it is out of style of Classic Rauch Beer in several parameters (mainly too light and too many IBUs). |

Notes: Prepare a yeast starter a day or two before you start your brewing. Mix the crushed grains well in a clean, dry bucket. Heat 11 qts. of water to 174° F. Mash in slowly in stages, as described below. The temperature of the mash should be between 150° and 158° F. Within this range, higher levels give a less fermentable wort and a more full-bodied beer. Lower temperatures give a more fermentable wort. Acidify 5 gals. of sparge water to a pH of 5.7 using lactic acid. Homebrewing shops sell solutions of 88 percent lactic acid concentration. A stock solution of the acid may be prepared by mixing 2 tsp. into 3 cups of water. This stock solution can be stored, and using about 1/2 cup will reduce the pH of 5 gals. of tap water to nearly 5.7. Be sure to verify this using pH papers or some other means. Acidification prevents excessive extraction of husk tannins. Heat the acidified sparge water to a temperature at or just below 170° F. Maintain the mash vessel at temperature for at least 1 hour. Mash out, raising the temperature of the mash to 168° F. To begin the sparge, slowly drain and collect 1/2 gal. wort from the lauter tun, then gently pour this back on top of the grain bed. Repeat twice more; this establishes the grain bed and produces relatively clear initial runnings of wort by filtering out any fine grain particles within the bed. Begin the sparge, maintaining the sparge water at or just below 170° F. Typically sparging for this recipes takes 45 min. to 1 hour. More time is needed if the oat content is increased. Collect 6.5 gals. of wort.
Boil the wort vigorously for 15 min. Add hops and boil 30 more min. Add Irish moss and boil 15 more minutes. Total boil is 60 min. Cool the wort to room temperature within 30 min. of the end of the boil. Siphon the wort off the trub into a sanitized fermenter. Aerate the wort for 15 min. Pitch the yeast starter. Seal the fermenter with an air lock, and let the fermentation proceed until complete. |
