joolbag Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 2 brews in 5 days... must be NSW state competition time! Will be fermenting these shortly, both on US-05, both in the temp controlled fermentation fridge. I am entering an IPA. Haven't brewed one in a while, but I do love my IPAs when I go out for a beer at the local craft beer bars. Total malt bill is 6.04kg, hop bill is 300g. This is a big beer. I don't think I'll get down to 1.011 as per beer smith. Probably 1.013-4. 60g of the hops are in the cube. This is my first attempt at double-dry hopping. Will dry hop with 75g of Cascade/Centennial/Simcoe/Amarillo as it approaches the end of fermentation. This will stay in for 3 days, then fished out. 2nd lot of dry hops in for another 3 days. Looking forward to this one. Had that strong backbone of bitterness from a good amount of long boiled hops in the kettle sample.

Hairy Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am brewing tomorrow but still haven't settled on the hops yet. I am planning on making a few pale ales with my standard pale ale grain bill of: 85% Maris Otter 10% Munich I 5% Caramunich I The freshest hops I have are: Wai-ti Mandarina Bavaria El Dorado Riwaka Cascade I am thinking of saving the Mandarina Bavaria for an American Wheat Beer and perhaps using El Dorado & Riwaka tomorrow with Wyeast 1450 Denny's Favourite 50. Does anyone on here have any experience with Wai-ti that they could share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love their funky pale ale. Actually most of their beers are sensational. Give it a go mate. Just build it up slowly from a low gravity starter stepping it up. Active cell numbers are always hard to know though. The brew I used mine on didn't ferment out likely due to not enough cells, so I used some commercial stuff to finish it off. It had certainly done enough that I could still taste it's influence. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice choice & use of hops there Hairy. There is hope for you yet. You'll notice the improved flavour subbing out the Magnum for bittering. Lusty is proud.
