DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 147°F (64°C) for 45 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops, yeast nutrient, and finings according to the schedule. After the boil, add dextrose and mix in well, then do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, chilling the wort to 180°F (82°C) or topping up with cold water to reach temperature. Add the whirlpool hops and allow 60 minutes to steep. Chill to 60°F (15.5°C), oxygenate thoroughly, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 62°F (16.7°C) until the gravity has dropped to about 1.020, then allow free rise to 68°F (20°C). When fermentation is complete and the beer has been at terminal gravity for 3 days—usually by Day 8—add dry hops and ALDC (an enzyme that inhibits the production of diacetyl). Drop/remove hops 2 days after dry hopping. After 2 more days, drop hops again or rack and test for diacetyl (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com). Crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.65 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Mash: You can easily hold the mash for an hour to help ensure full conversion. Don’t raise the temperature for a mash-out step, and sparge with 168°F (76°C) water, not higher.
Oxygenate: Use plenty of oxygen—I target 16 ppm of dissolved oxygen (DO). That takes about 3 liters per minute (LPM) on our system.
Efficiency: This beer is not designed to be a high yielder, and those hops will soak up some wort. If volume is your concern, try to get 6.5 gallons (25 liters) into your fermentor. Using a foam inhibitor such as Foam Blast, FermCap, or HopAid can help keep your yeast in the fermentor, to help ensure a healthy fermentation.
pH: I target a wort pH of 5.1 at knockout. So, depending on what the pre-boil pH is, I’ll adjust at whirlpool after adding hops.

Notes: Motueka + Amarillo Rye IPA

Had some mashing problems with new equip on the first run. Efficiency was way off, but so was water ammount, so I still got to the target OG. Measured to 1010 FG after fermenting 12 days.

Very tasty, think I'll make this my regular "hop-fix" :)

Notes: A super juicy DIPA inspired by Tree House Brewing Co. Generously dry hopped with Citra and Idaho-7, it's a fruit bomb!

Brewer's note: watch your efficiencies and scale accordingly, we have a fairly low brew house efficiency so you may end up over shooting OG if left untouched!

Notes: Mashing Instructions:
Saccharification Rest @ 155 60.0 min

In reality I mashed in, drank too much and mashed out four hours later... I meant to do a second runnings beer but ended up collecting all the runnings in one pot and had to boil down for four hours to get my five gallons! Not recommended - it turns into a 22 hour brew day.

Hops:
1.5 oz Centennial (8.7%) - added during boil, boiled 90 min
1 oz Amarillo (8.6%) - added during boil, boiled 30 min
1 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added during boil, boiled 10 min

Extra Ingredients:
Love!

Yeast:
1 pack of Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04
1 pack of Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05

Direct pitch, no starter, no re-hydration - fermented out in 4-5 days!!!

Special Instructions / Notes:
Try a Belgian Yeast or English Hops!

I ran out of Two-row malt and substitute in Pilsner malt; try domestic Two Row or Marris Otter!?!

Notes: My 1st beer brewed. While this is a hop thief 8, you can substitute different hops for the different numbers. While the beer was good, it didn't pack as much punch as I was hoping. I'm going to try grain additions & these amounts in a 23L batch to see what happens. Cheers.
