Notes: 11/17/18: Originally created this recipe like five years ago and we never got around to it. Well, we sucked at IPAs for a while but we have slightly more confidence with them now.
This has been adapted for compatibility with our crazy amount of grains from Valley Malt's Community Supported Brewing program, hence the inclusion of local 2-row, honey malt and Warthog Wheat.
It's also not intended to be a modern NE style IPA. In fact, the hope is that we can make this one a bit more "old-school" with a modern flavor. We'll be using Whirlfloc and a clean yeast to try to achieve this goal. *crosses fingers*
Update: About 10% lower efficiency than we wanted, but okay. Ended up collection 4.75-4.8 gallons. Slightly different IBU due to messing around with hops to get things back on track, but not a huge deal. Threw a bunch of Super Pride in at whirlpool temp to make up some of those lost IBUs. Everything else seems to have gone well. Added one Whirlfloc tab and 4 tsp of yeast nutrient at 15 min. |

Notes: the addition of the cocoa powder may have made the beer too bitter. i tried it on day 2 of fermentation and didnt like it, its like bitter dark chocolate. I would add less cocoa powder next time. As a solution, I may add lactose to the finished beer to increase the sweetness. I will keep tasting it and see what happens. Over all however, I think its a good flavor for a mexican chocolate stout.
bitterness faded, but I still think the cocoa added an unwanted edge. I'm adding 1/4 lb of lactose disolved in 2 cups water to the secondary for each 5 gallon.
On 11/22/16 day 11 i racked the beer into the secondary. To one i added 16grams ancho chilies includign seeds, broken apart
6 grams chili de arbol pods, cut open and wit hseeds
1 vailla bean cut open
8g cinnamon sticks broken up
2.2g (1 tbs) nutmeg
and 1/4th lb of lactose dissolved in 2 cups water and boiled |

Notes: This hazy double IPA was formulated to showcase the tropical and juicy aromas from BSG Hops’ Zamba™ blend and the minty and green-apple aroma notes from German Polaris hops. The grist is typical for the style, with a little boost from sucrose to increase wort gravity without adding non-fermentables or additional malt flavor. The hopping schedule and yeast strain are intended to set the stage for aroma retention and biotransformation while keeping hop bitterness in check.
Recipe creator Ashton Lewis says, “The name is also a bit odd and was inspired by the recent Great Conjunction and the use of North Star Pils ™ malt and Polaris (a.k.a. the North Star) hops.”
Ingredients:
MALTS & ADJUNCTS
6.5 lb. (2.95 kg) Rahr North Star Pils ™ Malt
3.25 lb. (1.47 kg) Rahr Red Wheat Malt
1.5 lb. (680 g) flaked oats
6 oz. (170 g) Weyermann® Acidulated Malt
1 lb. (454 g) sucrose @ 60 min
HOPS
0.5 oz. (14 g) Polaris, 20% a.a. @ 60 min (10 AAU)
0.5 oz. (14 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a. @ 60 min (5 AAU)
1 oz. (28 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., whirlpool/steep at 158˚F (70˚C) (20 AAU)
1 oz. (28 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., whirlpool/steep at 158˚F (70˚C) (10 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., dry hop at day 2 (30 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., dry hop at day 2 (15 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., dry hop at day 4 (30 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., dry hop at day 4 (15 AAU)
YEAST
Fermentis SafAle K-97, Omega OYL-044 Kolsch II, or Lallemand LalBrew Köln yeast.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
1 cup (190 g) corn sugar (if priming in bottles)
Specifications:
Original Gravity: 1.064 (15.7°P)
Final Gravity: 1.012 (3.1°P)
ABV: 7%
IBU: 35
Directions:
This recipe uses reverse osmosis (RO) water. Add 2 tsp. calcium chloride, ½ tsp. calcium sulfate (gypsum), and ¼ tsp. sodium chloride (non-iodized) to the mash water before mashing-in. Note that acidulated malt is included in the grist bill; mash pH following mashing-in should be about 5.4.
Mash the malts at 154°F (68°C) for 60 minutes. Start recirculating wort. Sparge slowly and collect 6.5 gallons (24.5 L) of wort. Heat to boiling and boil the wort 70 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Adjust original gravity post-boil with RO water as required.
Chill the wort to 158°F (70°C), add third kettle hop addition, let steep for 10 minutes, and continue cooling wort to approximately 68˚F (20˚C). Pitch yeast, and ferment between 60 ˚F and 68˚F (15.5–20˚C) until complete.
Dry hops should be added on day 2 and day 4 of fermentation. If using hop bags for dry hopping, remove bags on day 7; if not, rack to secondary fermenter or keg equipped with spunding valve. Complete fermentation and any hop creep following dry hopping should be finished by about day 21.
Prime and bottle condition, or serve from keg if naturally conditioned during aging.
PARTIAL-MASH VERSION
4.4 lb. (2 kg) Briess Light Pilsen Dried Malt Extract
3.25 lb. (1.47 kg) Rahr Red Wheat Malt
1.5 lb. (680 g) flaked oats
1.25 lb. (567 g) sucrose @ 60 min
Perform a mini-mash with the wheat malt and flaked oats at 154°F (68°C) for 45 minutes. The steep method is suggested using a grain bag and 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) steep water. Remove the grain bag from the steep after 45 minutes, gently pour hot water over the steep bag to improve yield, add dried malt extract, and adjust kettle volume to 6.5 gallons (25 liters). Bring to a boil and follow the remaining recipe as above. |
