Notes: My try at an IIPA with CaraAroma. The Chinook hops are from home vines.

Mashing at 158 - want a higher FG with this beer to provide backbone for all the hops.

Objective - bitter as hell, but makes you want more. Smells like beer heaven. Best drank from a snifter. Coats the teeth with hops resin. Pairs well with a cigar. A universe of complexity and enjoyment.

First try with the new BRY-97 yeast. Should be fun to see how this new Chico strain performs. Could only get one 11g pack, so I will make a starter.

Expecting lower than normal efficiency due to the relatively high OG for me, and my thin walled mash tun. Going to mash for 90 minutes to try to mitigate this, stir well, and keep the temp as consistent as I can.

1/7/2013 - Results! This is a very respectable and drinkable IIPA, a lot better than many that I've had at the popular Green Dragon bar here in town!

The flavor is very caramel and malt like, bit of a roasty herbal hop finish. It does coat my tongue, mostly with sweetness. It does give a very slight bitter burn at times. The back of my tongue is 'coated', but not my entire mouth, which I think makes this IIPA easier to drink than many which are too overpowering. I still want to find that delicate balance point. The extra gypsum paid off, and I do get a mineral flavor in the aftertaste, which fits nicely with the sweetness.

The Amarillo dry hop really completes it, do not skip that step! (this is based on the sample I tasted before dry hopping)

The aroma is sweet caramel, mild tropical fruit, and herbal hops. The original pineapple I was getting from the BRY-97 is mostly gone, and amazingly this beer tastes great after only a few days in the bottle.

Honestly, I was shooting for something more bitter, so I would go ahead and up it to 140 IBUs next time, even though that is technically outside the IIPA style guidelines - it is malty and it can handle more hops. In fact, I might shoot for 50% more hops at every step next time to really amp it up. Since I was using home grown Chinook hops, all bets are off in terms of the actual AA value - ymmv.

Honey will be late addition, added to primary after 3-4 days of fermentation.

BU/GU ratio 0.6 Final gravity 1.012, ABV 10.25%! Renaming to "Quetzalcoatl" This is out of the park good.

24 hours is long enough for the peppers to steep - 48 is the outside, as a slight bitter flavor begins to develop.

Notes: Yeast is Brewer's Best Cider House Select (1/2 package).

Boil Pumpkin, Honey and any additional sugars with spice and fining for 30 minutes. Cool to 70 degrees and mix with room temperature sweet cider.

Note: Sugar content includes the sweet cider and pumpkin. I added about 1/2 pound of cane sugar to hit OG 1.055.

Notes: If you are paranoid about oxygen, you can also add an antioxidant to the dilution water. A quarter teaspoon of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) added to 5 gallons (19 L) of just-blended beer will do the trick.

lactic acid to bring down the pH.

Notes: Adaptation of this recipe by Seymore:

HARVEY'S SUSSEX BEST BITTER/BB
…being Seymour's all-grain, research-based clone recipe of Harvey's/Harvey & Son/The Bridge Wharf Brewery - Lewes, East Sussex, UK

6 US Gallons = 5 Imperial Gallons = 22.7 Litres

FERMENTABLES:
88.1% = 7.75 lb = 3.5 kg, Maris Otter Pale Malt
6.8% = .6 lb = 272 g, Dark Crystal Malt (≈90-115°L)
5.1% = .45 lb = 204 g, Flaked Maize (don't skip this essential adjunct, trust me)

MASH ≈ 152.6°F/67°C 60 minutes or until converted.

SPARGE ≈ 171°F/77°C, collect 7 US gal/5.8 Imperial gal pre-boil, to allow for evaporation

BOIL 60-90 minutes

HOPS:
.9 oz = 26 g, Progress, ≈6.3% AA, 60 minutes
.9 oz = 26 g, Bramling Cross, ≈6.5% AA, 30 minutes
.5 oz = 15 g, Fuggles, ≈5% AA, at flame-out, steep until cooled
.5 oz = 15 g, Goldings, ≈5% AA, at flame-out, steep until cooled

afterwards, STEEP all hops awhile before chilling, transfer to fermentor, aerate, then pitch.

YEAST:
Harvey's proprietary dual-strain, top-cropped and repitched for over 50 years, possibly available as BrewLab Sussex 1, also used by nearby micros such as Rectory

STATS: (assuming ≈75% mash efficiency and 76% yeast attenuation)
OG: 1041
FG: 1010
ABV: 4.0%
IBU: 35
COLOUR: 9°SRM/18°EBC, light amber

Notes: This is a really balanced, slightly malty amber beer with a touch of roasted flavor.

The IBUs are so high on this, it is out of style for an Okto, but that doesn't matter to me.

*** NOTE: Not as good as using lager yeast. Won't be trying a 'mocktoberfest' again.

The flavor profile reminds me of a porter or stout. I think this yeast would do much better in a brown ale. The complex notes the hops are supposed to impart are being overridden too much by a harsh roasted maltiness. I don't think that is coming from the grain bill. Drinkable, powerful tasting beer, but not what I was hoping for.

In summary, screw Mocktoberfest, stick with Oktoberfest and larger it.

Notes: the original recipe called for 6 oz of pale chocolate but substituted 3oz carafe 1 instead of the chocolate and it turned into a brown instead of red but was good nun the less, smokey flavor was there and after getting used to it, turned into a great evening sipper

I had to use a 5 micron filter with this beer because of syrupy sediment but this beer turned out very high alcohol and a very good flavor, I can't believe how quick this gets to you
