Notes: Hopefully this will be a good New England style hazy double IPA. If not, we just suck at making hoppy things and should probably give up forever and focus on devastatingly strong wheatwines, barrel-aged sours and smoked quads. Not really a bad fate, I guess, but I'd really like to make just one good strong IPA with some amount of bottle-to-bottle consistency. Christ, it's depressing how little luck we've had with pale hoppy style stuff. So here we go again.
Zythos/Mosaic in the boil, Galaxy in the whirlpool, then double dry-hopped with Summer/Nelson. Hoping (against hope) for intense tropical fruit, bright berry and juicy citrus aromas and flavors with a soft mouthfeel brought on by flaked barley and oats. Just as a note we fermented this with Imperial Yeast's A38 Juice strain, not A18 Joystick as listed here, but Juice isn't added yet, so yea.
5/27/17: Got better efficiency than expected by about 7 points... awesome! Ended up being able to collect a half-gallon extra with that BHE; perfect for our newly-purchased 6 gallon fermenter! Everything went off without a hitch, to be honest. We got a bit stuck halfway through our mash re-circulation, but it was corrected quickly and probably had to do with the flaked oats + barley. Looking forward to dry-hopping this one with Summer and Nelson Sauvin!
6/4/17: Pat added an ounce each of Nelson and Summer last Tuesday night, and we took the sample last night. Hit terminal perfectly, and the sample tasted pretty great and really unique. We actually made a bitter and flavorful IPA if the sample was any indication, so that's good. Added another ounce of each of those hops. Probably won't bottle it for a couple weeks, but it isn't getting racked to secondary (we're bottling it most likely on 6/17 with a portion of its own yeast). |

Notes: Made a 2.2 L starter w/ 8 oz. DME (pale/pilsner mix). Put starter in the fridge after 12 hours to decant, but noticed globs of yeast jumping from the bottom cake 3 hours later (still in fridge). Took starter out of the fridge as i chilled the wort to 72 degrees. Decanted about a liter of liquid and pitched the rest. Would have liked to decant all of the liquid, but I figured there might be a fair amount of yeast still in suspension. I hope it doesn't screw the batch. Kreuzen forming activity w/ in 4 hours of pitching yeast. Still at 72 degrees in a room that is significantly cooler than that. I've got a fermwrap on it that will kick on at 69 and turn off at 70. Planning to ferment at 70.
Edit: I screwed up the hop schedule b/c when I originally was formulating the recipe it was as a 3 gallon boil. I did a 6.5 gallon boil, so I got more utilization. Still w/in the style, but will likely be more bitter than Fuller's. Time will tell.
After 3 days the beer was down to FG of 1.013. I was getting some jumping globs of yeast at the bottom of the carboy, which I suspect was off gassing giving some flocs a ride. This was still apparent, but minimal, when I racked on to .33 oz of EKG in secondary on day 8. Tasted ok. A bit fruity and perhaps a tad too bitter (see above). Based on some reading, I probably fermented too warm which upped the fruitiness. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. |

Notes: Almost opaque, dark brown when held up to the light.
Smells like chocolate, cold-brewed coffee, and dark bread crust. Not roasty.
Tastes malty, mostly dry, and cocoa-y. Slight hop spiciness.

Finished a little high, but it's probably mostly dextrins from the decoction. Just slightly off dry.
I like this better than Köstritzer, but not as much as Krombacher Dark. |
