Notes: This Milkshake IPA is loaded with flavor! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-g5BIxlMHE
The Tangerine Cream Dream offers creamy texture supplied by wheat extract, oat flour, and lactose. The lactose also adds sweet, sweet sugar that is mostly un-fermented by the yeast yielding that sweetness into the final product. The Hornindal Kveik yeast strain in this beer produces an intense tropical flavor and aroma with notes of fresh pineapple, mango, and tangerine. It complements the fruit-forward Comet hops added late in the boil and into the whirlpool for a heavy aroma boost. The big and brilliant tangerine aroma is the star of these Comet hops, grown in Central Minnesota The skin and juice of 2 tangarines add an additional citrus boost. The head on this beer is HUUUUGE (insert Donald Trum meme here). Overall this beer is a big bold statement... also like Donald's skin. LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING!
Extract brewing can be simple and rewarding! Note that while the equipment costs far less than the equivalent all-grain systems, the cost to let someone else create your extract over extracting the sugars from grains yourself is more expensive by about 20-50%. The cost per 20oz (one bottle) of beer for this Milkshake IPA is $2.42.
You may use tap water and/or modify the water profile.
The 2 tangerines or mandarin should be juiced and the leftover pulp/seeds should be removed from the rind. The juice and the rinds are added into the last ten minutes of the boil.
It is highly recommended that a blow-off tube is used instead of an airlock for this extremely active fermentation.
Higher fermenting temperatures benefit this beer as the yeast will produce more characteristic flavors. It is advised to ferment between 85-90f. To achieve a warmer fermentation, use a brew belt, heat mat, or similar equipment in conjunction with a temperature controller.
For a fermentation blow-off tube, run a section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose from the grommet on the lid to the bottom of one of the gallon jugs filled with sanitizer solution in tap water, and place the gallon jug and the fermentation bucket at the same height. It is best to elevate the beer at the beginning of the fermentation cycle with the spigot facing the area where you will be bottling so that the trub is not disturbed during the bottling process. In other words, try not to move the bucket just before bottling.
To bottle your beer, precondition each sanitized bottle with 2 Northern Brewer Fizz Drops. Attach a 5-8 foot section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose to the Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot and the other end of the hose to the Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler. Slowly open the spigot until it is fully open. Place the spring tip filler into the bottle and press the tip in on the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle until the liquid reaches the top. Remove the filler and the bottle will be filled to the optimal height.
Secondary fermentation in bottles takes between 9 and 13 days. 11 days is usually a safe amount of time to allow carbonation to build with the Kviek yeast used in this recipe.
Let the beer age for just about a week if kegged. It may very well be overly bitter and not well balanced the first day in the keg. If bottled, the beer should be ready after the 9+ days of secondary fermentation.
Don't forget to sanitize everything including the outside rims of the brew equipment and even the outside of the yeast packet. |

Notes: 6lbs Pilsen LME is a late addition at 15 minutes remaining in the boil.
IBUs being calculated here is wildly incorrect for some reason. This beer wasn't on the bitter side at all.
Note one of the few brews I have had a blowout start on, recommend adjusting the volume to 5gal instead of 5.5 to give more headroom in the primary. |

Notes: Belgian Candi Sugar is Demerara Sugar.
Steep grains UNDER 170F.
Preboil for 5 minutes before first hop addition.
Add yeast nutrient before pitching yeast.
First yeast should be a strong ale yeast. Aerate very well after pitching (aquarium pump for 1 hour).
After vigorous fermentation slows down (8-10 days), alternate between 1oz pure cane sugar and 1oz Demerara sugar additions every day for 5 days straight.
A few days after primary fermentation slows down, transfer into secondary carboy that has the Cascade hop addition and add the super high gravity yeast . Aerate very well (aquarium pump for 1 hour).
Continue to add sugar additions each day for the next 5 days (including this day you transfered). Secondary fermentation should last 1-3 weeks.
2 weeks after all fermentation activity subsides, beer is ready to package. Add champagne yeast at bottling. While transferring beer into bottling bucket, us a cup of beer to dissolve champagne yeast and add to bottling bucket with priming sugar in 1 cup water.
Beer ready to drinnk after 3 weeks. Age well, over a year. |

Notes: TROIS PISTOLES CLONE
Steep at 65-71C for 45 minutes in a grain bag then rinse thoroughly as you fill up the brew pot.
Don't use too much star anise spice.
Wait at least 2 months before drinking this bad boy (consider racking to secondary fermentation). You could even let it sit 6-12 months to ensure whatever bits of star anise that made it into the fermenter have mellowed out.
Instructions for making inverted sugar (scale as necessary):
1 lb sugar (better to use pure cane sugar - I used the brown variant)
1 tsp lemon juice
1.5 cups water
Place all ingredients in a pan
Bring to a boil
Boil for approximately 20 minutes
Original inspiration was from QUAD PISTOLES recipe below. I scaled and tweaked it a little to reduced the alcohol content, and to bring up the IBU a little (as usual!). I don't have access inverted sugar or liquid malt extract. I crushed whole star anise seeds instead of using powder.
Due to the homebrew shop limitation, I made the following swap:
Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L --> Caramunich III
Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) --> Melanoidin Malt
Yeast strain
etc...

Secondary with blueberries on August 27th 2016 (gravity was 1.013)
...
...
...
Bottled 10 months later on May 13th 2017. Lots of lost volume to the blueberries (about 2 gal was bottled).
FG is 1.004!
To be tasted from a ballon glass, th flavors were the best :
Medium blueberries presence upfront.
Low to medium brett taste and flavor late in the sip. .
Nice acidity, not as much as a gose/berliner but much more that a regular beer.
Color was dark red/bleu |
