Notes: The first place winner in the 2017 AHA National Homebrew Competition in American IPA. Chase's IPA is a bit of a hybrid with a look back at the West Coast with some "new" New England flair.

Notes: Add fresh ground coffee and vanilla beans sliced lengthwise to secondary for 24-72 hours, depending on preference.

I've found adding coffee grounds to secondary makes for a less bitter brew than boiling. the difference between vanilla bean tincture vs added to secondary seems to be unnoticable.

Let this beer condition for at least 2-3 months in bottle

Notes: Treads the fine line between a hoppy Classic Amercian Pilsner (minus the maize) and California Common. Don't skip the 6Row malt as it gives a nice grainy bite which complements the 15 and 0 min hops additions. Primary 21 days at room temp (the last 14 or so w/ dry hops), then 30-45 days in the keg at fridge temps.

Yes, it is a little light in terms of SRM for the style. No, it's not an Anchor Steam clone. Keg it with a few ounces of dissolved DME for natural priming, chill for a month or so, then push it with CO2. On my house tap, it's just called "beer" because it's nothing more or less. Serve in a frosty mug w/ wings or pizza. Bronze Medal the the 2013 CO State Fair.

Notes: Fell for the hype on Northern Brewer's website about "rare" South African hops. So I bought an 8oz bag of the best sounding one, African Queen.

Use 2nd gen 2017 WY1272 culture. Typical IPA water chemistry and mash schedule.

Brewed 6/11/17, stats as noted. Tweaked hop schedule to include FWH. Overshot mash temp to 156F. Discovered thermometer on pot is reading 4deg lower than old thermometer. Made "vitality starter" with 1L of wort taken after boiling batch for 10min, after FWH charge, before 60m charge. Used small mason jar of 2nd gen 1272; starter was krausening by the time I pitched it.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the aroma of the AQ hops. They are very similar in earthy, danky aroma to CTZ, so they should play well. There was a faint fruitiness in the aroma which must be the gooseberry as the descriptors indicate. Hydro sample didn't have much of hop flavor, and I can already tell the bitterness will come across as half or less of what the calc'd IBUs indicate. We'll see how well the hops carry through after dry hopping.

Update: kegged carbed and on tap as of 7/6/17. Its not bad. Ended up as a kind of generic IPA/PA. There is a firm, danky bitterness that balances the malt bill really well. If I concentrate, I can pick up a very subtle fruitiness that must be those gooseberries the packaging indicated. I really like the malt backbone on this one. The 1/2lb of crystal wheat was a very nice addition that brings a creamy subtle sweetness and some character and color to an otherwise generic malt bill. For whatever reason, this beer pairs exceptionally well with a fine cigar, particularly Macanudo Cafe series.

Overall this wasn't a bad beer. I think I just had higher expectations over the hyped up hops. I believe it would grade out well as a typical copper colored American IPA. I'll continue to enjoy it with the occasional cigar, and try to do a better job coaxing the flavors out of the remaining 3oz of African Queen hops I have in another IPA recipe with a few other varieties. I'm thinking Pac. Jade and Simcoe would be a good start.

Notes: Step mashed to give alpha and beta amylase their own comfort ranges. May reduce final maltiness of beer. First real experiment in water chemistry. May experience higher efficiencies. Know your source water chemistry before adding any brewing salts. Very soft water in this local.Add honey at flame-out.

WARNING: Brewing this beer has been known to start fights with spouse when she asks "what ya makin'or "what you drinkin' "!

Note: The use of Fuggles hops would be more close to style for this type of beer. I used cascade, but not next time. If you have a choice use the hop that reflects the style.Goldings and Bullion hops also fill the bill.
