Zeus summer ipa

This recipe is fermenting right now and is based off a classic strong double ipa i do every year, (07-05-2024)... Remove the mango part and you still have a decent beer...

Alternative Yeast in order: Fermentis W34/70 (great) / Lallemand Verdant IPA / Lallemand Belle Season/ Fermentis W68 or BE-138/ fermentis T-58/ any wheat beer or german lager yeast strains -> would not use US-05 or any other very high floculating yeast with neutral taste notes (Usually english strains), the beer must remain hazy, otherwise most of the oat milkyness will be lost. This beer will not survive the summer anyway who cares if it goes bad in 12 months because of the haze... if you are in a hurry in the middle of summer go for a kveik strain but not US-05

Hops: You can replace Styrian Kolibri with Callista and styrian Wolf with Idaho7/ el dorado ( any tropical forward hop).

• i do not recommend DRY HOPPING -> make some hop tea instead for better results. A coffee french press and a mason jar will be required.
  
  
• The passion fruit syrup can be made either with the priming sugar before bottling or simply added during the secondary fermentation (just replace the 200gr of cane sugar in the recipe with the syrup)
  
  ->store bought passion passion fruit syrup is fine but adding real fruit to it will make it more vibrant and will help to prevent the hop oxydisation during the dry hoping->passion fruit is rich in vitamin C which is great preservative/antioxydant -> the beer will keep longer and with a crisper taste.
  
  Sorbitol is a non fermentable sugar, it is present to balance the sweetness of the end beer.
