therealthing691 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I have been experimenting with idaho 7 and calypso and i must say i like both Idaho 7 is a complex flavour . Calypso is mostly pear i think and a very clean dank tasting bitterness i have done many raspberry and some raspberry pear in the past AG and Extract so hear we go for a IPA 3.7kg Barret pilsner .3 kg Carafoam/pils 1kg Corn sugar Us-05 + dry enzyme 100g of calypso at flame out whirlpool average of 95 c @20mins at around 1020 ish 1.5kg raspberry puree and .8kg pear puree to FG then CC for 3 to 5 days i am hoping for a clear dry tasting fruity ipa .In the future i am going to try the same but milkshake style which i have done extract but not AG nor Kegged 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealthing691 Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 i really think the calypso and pear raspberry and dryness will work .Also on the other hand i think as a milkshake the sweetness balanced taste will work as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just started using calypso and i think it will really mesh with raspberry and pear . As a IPA but really will be a hoppy fruit beer cheers lol i love trying different i think this is on the money but we will see anybody local is welcome to try cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with calypso i think it will allow me to get it into the lower IPA range we will see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealthing691 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 well tasting its dry the dry enzyme seems to have taken some of the fruit taste ..... After thought of course as it eats more sugar . All in all for a fruity dry ipa it is balanced tasty a bit less fruit then i expected but i havent used dry enzyme before after thoughts ..... If i do this again i would up the fruit. All in all tasty fruity but in my opinion i like more fruit ... but is there but i like more. I would add 25% more. as for hops it meshs well i wouldnt go more and would even start at 25% less but i like it as it is i hope this makes sense cheers enjoy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealthing691 Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Well after a few i rather think it would be great on a hot summers day. It isn't halve bad in winter either LOL .Out of curiosity i took a PH of the the drinking beer is about 3.96 which is a tad lower than average beer. To be expected as Raspberry's have a low PH of around 3,2 to 3.6 so will lower the beer a little over all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealthing691 Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 after sharing half of the keg most for me hahahha .
