King Ruddager Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 So now I'm trying to get the numbers right for their "Punk IPA", and this time it's the IBUs giving me trouble. As noted earlier they use whole flowers and not pellets, so I've been decreasing the hop amounts by 10% for additions that contribute a significant amount of bitterness Also, I hope these guys save some hops for the rest of the world! This 20L recipe has over 300g of hops, almost 200g of which is dry-hopped!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 They've updated DIY Dog and it's now 234 recipes strong, including all their latest stuff https://www.brewdog.com/lowdown/diydog?v2 Still can't seem to see the exact Red Ale I was looking for earlier, but meh - I think when the time comes I'll make a Punk IPA, which is one of their staples.

BeerEngineer Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi all, So I've been looking at these recipes for ages now and recken im gonna have a crack at an extract version of 5AM Saint or Dead Pony Club. On the hop scheduling of each recipe it says to make additions at 'start, middle and end' with the attributes being 'bitter, flavour and aroma' respectively. Clearly the bittering addition is 60 minutes, but for the flavor and aroma, what do you think? 15 and 5 mins? 10 mins and flameout? Cheers!

headmaster Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Would depend on what style of beer these two are supposed to be. Just had a look at the 5AM Saint, wow it looks really tasty. I'd be keen to give this a crack myself. I'd vote for 60 15 5, but if no chill 60 10 flameout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headmaster Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Actually the IBU of the saint is listed as 30 from the PDF, so you could bias the middle and end additions to hit that number. I use the brewcipher XLS, free and highly recommended for all grain brewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerEngineer Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks for the reply headmaster! I think 10 and 0 is what I'll go with (as I'm a no-chiller) :) After putting the recipes into both IanH's spreadsheet and a free trial version of beersmith, I found it impossible to hit 30 IBU's with the hop additions they gave (2X2.5 g bittering and 2.5 g flavour, definitely not enough for a 20L batch), but after searching the net I came across a redditor who noticed the same thing and upped the additions to 12.5g each. Doing this puts the numbers pretty much spot-on and makes much more sense in my mind, so I can only assume that they were typo's in the recipe. I'm gonna try and have a go at this sometime over the weekend (maybe next) and will post results up here when it's finished! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headmaster Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well that makes sense beer engineer. I thought those numbers were ridiculously small, well done for spotting the problem. When I first opened the brewdog PDF, the first recipe I flicked to had a typo as well, they had 0.9kg of a dark roasted grain for a porter I think it was which I knew should be closer to 0.09kg or 90 grams, ten times less. The pounds number was correct however. If you had made it with the 900 grams, it would have been bloody awful.. Unlikely that they meant to put these errors in there. I guess it probably means they have given a badly written notebook to someone to type up, and they have made some screw-ups and no-one has checked it before publication. The error is still in there after releasing the second version. So use the recipes with caution and use your experience or the guidance of the software regarding getting in the ball park of the colour and IBU units I’d say.

BeerEngineer Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yeah my guess would be the same as yours that someone has written it up without having it thoroughly checked. There seems to be quite a few mistakes that I've noticed but with the aid of software and some brewing experience, they're fairly easy to pick up for the most part. Haha, 900 grams of dark roasted grain certainly would be interesting! but I'd only ever be game enough to try it in a super high ABV Imperial Stout I think XD I'd also be interested to know if anyone has made any recipes from the book yet and if so what you thought of it? :D Cheers!

BeerEngineer Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Got around to brewing an adjusted version of the BrewDog 5AM Saint recipe a couple of weeks ago, it was my first partial mash and aside from getting a fair amount of trub in the fermenter, it went pretty well! I made a few changes here and there converting the recipe from all-grain to a partial and adjusting the hop schedule to the correct IBU's. Also, replaced the nelson sauvin additions with citra and dropped the simcoe and ahtanum dry hops (as they were comparatively minor additions to the dry hop and 125g in a 20L batch is already more than Ive ever used): Here's what I put into it: To 20 L: 1.5 kg Coopers LME 1 kg Pale Malt 0.88 kg Caramalt 0.63 kg Munich 2 0.38 kg Crystal 150 0.13 kg Crystal 240 12.5 g Amarillo @ 60 12.5 g Cascade @ 60 12.5 g Citra @ 10 12.5 g Amarillo @ 0 12.5 g Citra @ 0 50 g Cascade Dry 50 g Centennial Dry 25 g Citra Dry US-05 Yeast OG = 1.050 FG = 1.013 IBU = 32.6 EBC = 31.1 Approx 5% ABV I'll do a side-by-side taste test in a couple of weeks after it's suitably carbed up and post the results! Would be very interested to hear if anyone else has brewed up any of the BrewDog recipes too? Cheers all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazznotwazz Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hey there, Thanks for sharing this Lusty. Spent most of my lunch break downloading, printing and putting in a folder. So what would be the best way to convert some of these recipes to extract/partial mash? Would BeerSmith do a decent job of that? Anyone used the mobile app from the App Store?

BeerEngineer Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 For the recipe above, I just took the base pale malt and used a conversion of 1kg of pale malt (grain) = 0.75 kg pale LME = 0.6 kg pale DME (got this from beersmith website: http://beersmith.com/blog/2008/06/03/converting-all-grain-recipes-to-malt-extract/) From there I used IanH's spreadsheet and put the base ale malt in as its LME equivalent. Hope that helps a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazznotwazz Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks BeerEngineer. That does help. FWIW BeerSmith does have an All Grain to Extract or Partial Mash conversion tool. Just need to work it out. Some great recipes here to experiment with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Ooh! I think I've found one I can recreate "Jet Black Heart" Oatmeal Milk Stout. Eight grain types plus lactose in the fermentables, and magnum and sorachi hops - all available at the LHBS https://www.brewdog.com/lowdown/blog/jet-black-heart Now to try it out and see if it's any good ...

BeerEngineer Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 That's the next brew on my list! just bottled the dead pony club last week and had a cheeky taste today, it was awesome! Tried the commercial jet black heart and it's definitely worth having a crack at, I'll be doing it in the next couple of weeks too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpaca Brew Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I really love the Dead Pony Club. A close second is Vedett IPA (Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat). It is full of hops but after 15 seconds it is all gone and your ready for another sip:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
