Notes: AHA's Big Brew Day 2020 Recipe:
This year’s Big Brew recipe comes from Jackalope Brewing Co, which will brew Pangaea Proxima Polar IPA as the official commemorative beer for Homebrew Con, to be held June 18–20, 2020, in Nashville, Tenn. Given that homebrewers from all over the globe will be brewing a version of this beer on May 2, the recipe features ingredients that truly fit the theme of Big Brew.
“We want to use ingredients from all over the world to brew this beer. We decided to use the kveik yeast because what a dream that is for a homebrewer,” said Bailey Spaulding, who is a cofounder of Jackalope and will deliver the Keynote Address at Homebrew Con. “Then we landed on using New Zealand hops for the beer,” she continued, “so the yeast is from an area of the world near the North Pole, and the hops are from an area near the South Pole.”
The beer is named after Pangaea Proxima, which is a theorized future supercontinent that would form 300 million years in the future. “We thought it fit the idea well. Also, we really like the idea of bringing people from around the world together in a time when we are all so separate.”

Notes: Buckwheat honey is a placeholder for bocheted wildflower honey, and the regular honey addition will be a half pound of pecan smoked wildflower honey as well as a pound of regular wildflower honey.

Brew Day and Fermentation Notes:
- Mashed in a bit high, @156f
- Mash tun was not large enough to hold grain bill and full water volume at once, so 1 gal was reserved to rinse the grains in bag after the mash (the listed sparge) Ended up with a much lower than expected pre-boil gravity (reflected by the efficiency number), so will change this next time.
- Had trouble keeping a boil on the stovetop, but this was expected and part of the reason for the extended (90 min) boil. This is reflected in the lower than expected evaporation rate as well.
- Used a thick nylon bag as the hop bag, but the material may have been too thick, and the total volume of hops was too large for the bag; by the end of the boil the bag was very much overfull. Will use a spider or several smaller, thinner, bags next time.
- Started the Bochet at around the 60 min mark during the boil, and carmelized until very dark and the first wisps of smoke began to rise. Dissolved the bochet (outside, with safety goggles - seriously, be safe) with the remaining gallon of water, brought the mixture to a boil, and then added it to the boiling wort around the 15 min mark.
- Also, managed to overflow the bochet pot when the honey first reached a boil; it nearly killed the range and made for one hell of a cleanup job. Keep in mind you need at least 6x the volume of honey as headspace during a bochet.
- Wildflower and Pecan (cold) smoked honeys were added to the carboy just prior to the yeast pitch; the relatively warm wort made dissolving the honeys quick and painless.
- The Fermaid O was added in one batch just before the pitch as, based on my reading, I feared the gravity would drop too quickly to time additions. This worked out just fine, but based on this batch timing additions probably wouldn't be that difficult.
- Significantly underpitched the yeast (perhaps 25-30 ml), and pitched at slightly above 90f. Fermentation was carried out in a glass carboy, with insulated wrapping, placed above a heating pad connected to an inkbird; temperatures were consistent (88f-92f) throughout fermentation. After 6 days activity had ceased, and on the seventh day the carboy was cold crashed for ~6hours and then kegged that evening. While this fermentation was quick, it was also clean - without the esters the strain is noted for or any off flavors. In the future I will probably pitch the entire pack though, just to ensure I don't end up with the off-flavor horror stories I've read about (of course I ran across those stories after the pitch).
- Very important: scream at the spirits as you pitch your yeast, as is traditional, to ensure a good fermentation and un-possessed batch.
------------------------------
Tasting Notes:
This stuff turned out way better than it had any right to be - especially since it was a shot in the dark using pretty much exclusively ingredients I'd never touched before. Toasty caramel, lightly burnt (in a good way) sugar, and sweet round nuttiness dominate, with touches of raisin and prune in the background, before finishing with a Guinness-like tang (presumably from the honey). The hops are very much in a supporting role here; pleasant, but barely noticeable and serving mainly to balance the dominant sweet flavors. Body is medium/medium-light, and the alcohol is noticeable only by a mild warmth and slight perceptibility on the nose, despite the significant proof.
Everyone who has tried this without knowing the abv beforehand has guessed in the ~4% range. Score one for Hornindal, I guess.
Will make this again, and see how improvements in process change the character of the final product; still not sure what changes to the actual recipe I'll make.

Notes: This version is scaled down to 5 gallons and down from 73% efficiency to 60. Malt and hop additions were adjusted slightly to make for more round numbers. This calculator has the beer finishing a couple points higher than the posted recipe. Added a little more honey to put it at 6.3% abv.

Taken from AHA website, Clifton Ellis's "Just Rye'te" pale ale which won gold at GABF ProAm 2016. Inspired by 3 floyds zombie dust. This recipe swaps out citra for vic's secret. Brewed in honor of the late Virgil "Vic" Bodrey.

Notes: My second attempt at a cloudy, juicy, ridiculously over-hopped NEIPA.
5 liter yeast starter: two smack-packs of Wyeast 1318, for 48 hours, then cold crashed for 12 hours. Decanted and pitched.
Also this is my first use of my Blichmann HopRocket, with 3 ounces of whole leaf Mosaic, after the hopstand and directly from the boil kettle, through a counter flow chiller to the fermentor.
I think this brew has finally pushed the limits of hop additions! |
