Notes: 4/1/2011
Kegged last week, tasted great already, the hops were present and pairing well with the blueberry but slightly subdued so I added another 3oz mosaic dry hop to the keg to even it out at 1lb total mosaic. Having a full pint tonight, its money.
==============================
3/22/2021
opened today for gravity reading and to add dry hop. 1.018. smells great. tastes great. not as darkly colored as previous blueberry beer but its like a hazy pink on its way to purple. tastes great, a little harsh bitter note, could be the mosaic? there is no bittering hops in this brew.

should be good! should be ready soon! will leave it to dry hop for 3 days then take out the bag, take another gravity reading to make sure the fruit has fermented out / no further activity. after that will need to cold crash for a day or two then keg. possibly add another 2nd dry hop to the keg. i have a few oz left of the bag.
==============================

initial recipe formulation

copying base recipe from mango maya. keeping basically the entire grain bill, adjusting efficiency to 60, removing DME and adjusting base malt to get to 8%. im hoping to cook the oats and get better efficiency than in the past. if we end up with 6% it should still be tasty.

axing the 1lb honey malt - i dont think it plays as well with blueberry as it does with mango. also its heavy on lovibond making th ebase beer more orange colored which goes ok with mango but for blueberry im hoping more toward yellow hazy ipa base beer as a bright backdrop for the purple blueberries.

making up a new hop schedule, 100% mosaic. not sure how much to use. starting with 13oz - about the same as mango maya. will probably buy a bag so if it needs 3oz more in a 2nd dry hop, that will be available.

decided on only 3lb blueberry - last time i used blueberry i did 6lbs and it was way too much. i think it will not be lacking in blueberry color and flavor, especially accented by the mosaic.

could maybe do without the vanilla bean? and lactose? prob not.

Notes: Hoppy Belgian Strong Pale Ale focused on brewing with Golden Promise malt, the new El Dorado (Spanish for "The Golden One") hops and the more traditional Brewer's Gold hops. First Gold, a UK dual-purpose hop, was chosen as a late addition/knockout hop for its spicy and slightly floral notes, matching well with the esters produced during primary fermentation.

Aiming for a resinous, fruity and dry profile with some of the traditional Belgian character; a soft yet fairly-full mouthfeel should result from the use of oats and wheat in conjunction with a traditional Belgian yeast blend. This is kind of influenced by Idle Hands' "hopification" of traditionally non-hoppy styles (hoppy hefe and hoppy tripel were both amazing and intense, keeping the best, traditionalist qualities of the original styles and adding some new world flair).

4/16/16: This one's been a long time coming. I switched the hop additions around a lot to focus on El Dorado as an aroma hop instead of a bittering hop. Doing our sacch rest now.

4/23/16: racked onto 1oz El Dorado

4/30/16: sample was great with 1wk dry hop. Forgot yeast, so did not bottle. Heavy phenols up front, great belgian character, soft, medium body. Hints of tropical hops in the finish which become more noticeable after repeated sips, and phenols calm down a bit.

5/25/16: So this ended up with 1 week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary w/ dry-hop (El Dorado). Has been conditioning in bottles for about 2 and a half more weeks at this point. Just opened my first bottle to enjoy at home (had a bottle this past weekend while at Pat's place and posted about it on FB but needed to update here).

Pours a beautiful deep orange/golden color with an absolutely massive head with spectacular retention. With a head this milky, frothy and bone white, this reminds me a lot of a classic Duvel pour, which makes me proud. Lacing is mild but appears tiered when it does come about. Body is opaque, though effervescent carbonation can be seen around the edges of the glass if you look hard enough.

Nose is bright tropical fruit (pineapple/papaya/guava, mostly), mild grassy notes, solid amounts of Belgian funk, a bit of vanilla and honeyed malt. Not a trace of alcohol to be found, and at almost 9%, that's dangerous. In other words, this smells like a perfect Belgian strong pale ale to me.

The palate is mostly rich phenolic Belgian yeast, chewy honey-leaning malt notes and juicy, bright hops. Lots of clove-y aspects intertwined with pineapple and papaya, structured on top of an almost-doughy malt/yeast combo. Very big body on this beer. Definitely not a light tasting one, but it was never really meant to be. That said, the playful hop notes and intense tropical fruit flavors make this an enjoyable warm weather beer if you don't mind the high ABV. Carbonation is medium-high.

If we brew this again, I'm suggesting several changes. The hop bill seems pretty spot-on, other than the fact that we should probably double the dry-hop quantity. It probably would've been better to just do one knockout addition of 1 oz and then do 2 oz in the dry-hop. I feel the aromatic elements of El Dorado could be pushed even more, though they do come out here for sure. I would also say we could play with the malt bill a bit, perhaps utilizing Golden Promise as the whole base malt instead of splitting with 2-row and pilsner. Oats and wheat helped provide structure here, for sure, but I'd also like to see what this is like with a bit more of each. That's more of a weird desire for experimentation than a necessity, but regardless... glad we have so many bottles of this creamy, rich, Belgian yeast-influenced tropical-fruit-cocktail in a bottle!

Notes: I would recommend this yeast because it leaves a bit of residual malt behind. Extract can tend to leave a bit of residual sugar behind (sometimes too much) which is why I subbed in some corn sugar, if you use it put it in a 10min. If you don't want to use it the beer will end up around 6% with an estimated OG of 1.060. It's really up to you. I would recommend using 2 vials of yeast for this brew because the OG is a bit higher. If you don't want it spicy hop flavor sub out the Willamette addition for cascade. You could also use centennial instead of cascade. Let me know if you want to dry hop but I would do it with a couple ounces of cascade or centennial. I looked at the rise up red and it said it's pretty much all cascade and centennial. If the AA% is way off let me know and I can update it and send you a correction. If you can keep fermentation temps below 70F that would be ideal too, especially if it has been hot in the "Hood". Happy Brewing!

Notes: One of the few beers I make with DME. Easy, minimum ingredients and quick, (except for the lagering). 4 weeks at cold temps will give you an easy drinking beer that wont last long in the summer heat.
-Light body, pale and fizzy.
