Home Hops Beer

Thanks for checking this recipe.

So this is a completely custom recipe I made for my home grown hops plants. The essence behind it is that young plants have a significantly lower AA content, thus the malt profile should be interesting on its own as well.
Some might say this malt profile is of an Irish Red Ale, while the hops profile is of an American IPA, hence the marking of Amber Hybrid Beer.

The hop additions are from straight the plant, so they weren’t dried. In case you are brewing it from dried hops or from pellets, you’ll need to adjust the hop amounts accordingly.
Also from an older (5yrs) plant the hop amounts (especially the Comet) can be decreased.

The end result is a smooth, easy to drink, refreshing all-year amber ale. The hop profile is not really matching what you expect first on the sight, therefore I believe it makes it interesting enough worth brewing.

Brewing tips:
Not much surprise apart from following the recipe, but:

• Make sure not to use 67 C, but 65 C for mashing temperature.
  
• During boiling it makes sense to prepare and weigh the aroma hop additions
  
• use a large hop spider as the volume can be quite substantial when using fresh (having natural humid content) hops, after action filtering can be quite tedious with fresh hops
  
• Your carbonation should be halfway between an Irish Ale and an American IPA (around 2.0-2.2 CO2 Vol.) I made the mistake of overcarbonation (abt 2.6), this style likes the 2.0-2.2
