Last weekend I set out to make a sessionable West Coast IPA, 90% American Ale, 5% Wheat and 5% Medium Crystal. Using Mosaic, Galaxy and Citra as part of the hop schedule.
Had a sample yesterday, tasting super fruity (as one would expect with 380g in the boil ) nice golden colour... but my god I overshot the bitterness by a factor of about 100:1 during my hop stand.
After one sip it dried out my entire mouth, I couldnt taste anything for about 30mins afterwards lol
One might say my hop stand experiment went horribly wrong haha. Hopefully Some over the top dry hopping will help... but I dont think the alcohol weight will carry it. Current sitting at 5.25% at 1.014 (might get down to 1.012)
ah 350g sorry, I remember I changed the recipe on brew day to swap out Simcoe for Citra. Im pretty sure this was it:
BOIL ADDITIONS
10g Citra60mins ~15IBU
20g Mosaic10mins ~ 9.5 IBU
20g Galaxy 10mins ~ 12 IBU
20g Citra10mins ~ 12 IBU
FLAMEOUT ADDITIONS
130g Mosaic - Hopstand 20mins
80g Galaxy - Hopstand 20mins
70g Citra - Hopstand 20mins
DRY HOPS
50g Mosaic- 4Days
50g Galaxy - 4Days
25g Citra- 4Days
Using Liquid yeast for the first time too WYeast American Ale II. So interesting times ahead
OverKill much?
Haha. I bet it'd be bitter.
Even in my imperial red IPA I only got to 140g flameout.
Haha yeah, I like to think of it as "experimenting" :rockin:
I guess i just keep drinking things from Epic brewing etc and get jealous i can never get that much flavour... forever chasing that dragon lol
Find the Epic Pale Ale clone on the forum here, you'll be surprised how little hops go into it
Yeah I've made that before actually and it was really good! I'm more thinking along the lines of Armageddon IPA & Luppilungis which has the ability to strip the enamel from your teeth because of the amount of hops in it
I've got a recipe I think is close to Lupulingus if you want it, Citra, Centennial and Cascade, 376g of hops all up in a 23 litre batch. Planning to make it again this summer. Who says 8% IIPA aren't sessionable

I'd certainly love to see that recipe
hell yeah definitely keen!!:rockin:
I've heard hilarious things about how aggressive this yeast strain is
This yeast did not disappoint boys. I mashed in at 69C (with 2C drop over 75mins) and my O.G went from 1.051 to 1.000... pfft what unfermentable sugars? So my 'Sessionable Saison' just turned 'Super Saison' with an abv of 6.7% lol. It's tasting really good in the samples so keen to get it into the keg this weekend :rockin:
Also my IPA smells like a commercial beer which makes me happy, and while it is more bitter than i would like, its not so bad you cant taste the beer, just lingers for a wee while. beer stocks are looking good again! :rockin:
I have 5.5mm brewshop line, 2.7m w picnic tap, serving @ 1 bar (14psi) at 7°.
All of my foaming issues were due to over carbonation I'm pretty sure.
I was rolling with some 6.5mm ID (from memory) from Bunnings, serves great with 7m of line but that much line was a colossal PITA.
Hey sorry to spam this thread, but i am having foaming issues with my keggerator (currently 3meters of 6mm ID tubing (could be 6.5mm)). I figure i just need to change this tubing as have tired everything under the sun to fix the issue...
What mm tubing is everyone here using? I have the option for 4.5mm or 5.5mm from my local brew store; everything on the forum talks about 3/16inch internal diameter which is 4.8mm in metric.
Yeh i need to try this one again, i really enjoyed it.
Will def go with the the dry hop additions, and where i put whirlpool additions a i mean flameout, i use the terms interchangably.
So how many here have entered any beers in the SOBA NHC? How many beers, and what did you enter?
Thanks I do like Epic! Also looking at doing a Tuatara APA so will consider both options
If you want the Tuatara APA clone, Brewtopia has a good one, comes with instructions etc also: http://shop.brewtopia.net.nz/produc...cts_id=1097&osCsid=0ogdgeotma7k3hggo47vdgdp81
