beer came out really dry and really insanely bitter. still drinkable but mor ebitter than any beer ive brewed or tasted. i want to blame the amarillo and an di cant remembe rif i also added el dorado? anyway i think the evergreen is ok, maybe dial down the ibu a little. also this beer i adjusted the water on brew day after mixing up my waters for two diff beers.
next time i think add some crystal malt. if using lutra, mash higher, or otherwise use us05. go with the evergreen base and dry hop with something safe and fruity like citra.
=========================================
11/22/22
did not yet take FG but guessing (high balling) 1009 it is really dry.
the beer is extremely bitter the first couple days. the beer is kegged and carbed a few days ago although even today its still been only 10 days since brew day. its starting to mellow out a little bit but its def on the bitter side. really nice pine though. wondering if i should dry hop in the keg with citra or mosaic to round it out. also wouldnt mind trying it side by side with stone ipa to see how truly bitter it is.
anyway, next time def try the crystal malt and maybe skip or reduce the sugar. its really nice light bright yellow color but too dry. also re-examine your water, either go back to the standard light colored and hoppy profile or maybe try 1:2 chloride to sulfate ratio.
=========================================
11/10/22
i messed up on brew night and used my ideal water i setup for this beer on the porter. so had to make an impromptu water adjustments to the tap to come out with ~1:3 chloride to sulfate ratio plus some calcium and stuff. hopefully it will still come out sharp bitter crisp ....aye smh
also updating recipe - brewed this on igloo/digiboil setup, 1065 OG for 66% efficiency (i think that stop and wait batch sparge really helps) and used 1 pack dried lutra. added high krausen hops at pitch
=========================================
11/5/22
next gen of wcipa. thinking more body, posibly c15. mix of magnum and something else piney for bittering. reworked the water for 1:3 chloride to sulfate (hoppy profile). need to figure out hops though. would like to dry hop with something dank and piney plus something fruity like citra to really have an in your face hoppy west coast...
=========================================
6/28/2022
pretty sure FG was 1.002 or 1.004. need to stop prolonged mash and instead mash out after an hour.
this beer was good but came out really dry and thin, watery. it is indeed 7% tho, bitterness is there but prob could be increased. the beer is good on its own and could be rebrewed just like this except with a mashout.
however for attempting to achieve some of the more mindblowing west coast ipas, i think needs a little more bitterness and a bit more dry hop. this batch had 12oz i would like to retry with 16-20 total oz, a little more in the frontend (maybe first wort) or 60 minute and then several more ounces in dry hop.
=========================================
5/26/2022
brew day last night. frustratingly low on efficiency despite 2 hour mash. did full biab style / no sparge with about 9.75 gallons strike water so lower efficiency should be expected but i didnt think that much. need to get a pH meter, possibly my pH is off and i dont know it. i keep adding acid malt to every brew maybe its effing something up. i hit 8 gallons pre boil which usually boils down to 6 in an hour but possibly next time could plan to boil for 90 or 120 mins.
starter i made last week sat in chest freezer for a week and smelled a little suspect. tossed that and just pitched a single pack of us05.
updating recipe to reflect actual brew day stats
was originally targeting
preboil 8 / 1051
postboil 6 / 1068
fermenter 5.5 / 1068
FG 1011
ABV 7.4%
eff 68%
actual
preboil 8 / 1045 (without sugar)
postboil 6.75-7 / 1055
fermenter 6 / 1055
FG 1011
ABV 6.1%
eff 58%
=========================================
5/16/2022
initial recipe creation. pretty straightforward malt bill and hop schedule to highlight these evergreens.
need to figure out ideal water profile. none of my west coasts have come out all that bitter. would like to start with tap water. not sure how much i trust the BF light colored and hoppy anymore....
as of now im going with the BF version its 3:1 cl to so4 which i think is the important part. this requires diluting tap water with half RO. |

update 3-10-2020
This weekend i returned from vacation to discover the heater on the chamber was not on. It was fermenting at ambient garage temperature, which at the time we returned was about 58F. oops. its been like that since brew day, so 12 or 13 days.
Last night I prepared 1lb lactose and 0.5 lbs DME to a boil with minimal water. blended the cold thawed mango and mixed the two together (skipped ice bath) added it all to the fermentor along with the coconut. the entire mixture was a little under a gallon. it appears to be refermenting. decided to add DME because of the low initial efficiency and hopefully if there was any issue fermenting the original wort because of the temperature, the new DME and mango will get it going again.
just now added the DME to the recipe and bumped the volume up from 5.25 to 6. should prob remeasure the entire volume in the fermentor.
==============================
Mango Maya 4
2-22-2020
adding a couple pounds base malt and increasing the volume to 5.5. remembering that i have a lot of loss from the mango. would like to end up with 5.5 or 6 gallons in fermentor. i am also going to have to add the lactose later on which will water it down a little bit
==============================
Mango Maya 3
March 2019
pre brew notes : removing the DME and increasing efficiency, adding some more 2row and wheat to boost gravity. everything else should be hunky dory.
post brew notes : this one came out sweeter and thicker and fruiter than i remember. the fruit sweetness covers up the dry hops. i think it could use a boost in dry hops. maybe some more bittering too but also maybe not since it kinda goes against the concept
==============================
Mango Maya (version 2) Oct/Nov 2018 :
Won 1st place at 2018 Stone Homebrew Competition and American Homebrew Association Rally!
Efficiency came out really low so I had to add DME a couple days into fermentation. I intended to add more but it was all I had on hand at the time.
I put all the dry hops and the coconut all in one giant muslin bag, it was pretty stuffed. Probably did not get max extraction. Considered racking to secondary to free up some head space but it was still actively fermenting I didnt want to mess with it too much.
Side note : because of other ongoing batches, this batch did not have an airtight seal on the fermentation bucket. I just used my brew pot lid.
==============================
MANGO MAYA VERSION 1
March 2018
bumping warrior from .5 to .75 - RR was not bitter at all but all sweet and smooth. When dry hop wears pff its missing some bitter balance. Should prolly do 1 whole oz. But non ipa guests might like it more if less bitter.
unclear on how much coconut. this guy used 0.5 lb for 1-3 days in dry hop (but he also used another 1lb during boil and another 0.5 lb in keg). seems like not a lot but he insists not to overdo it. he says it imparts flavor fast.
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/coconut-ipa.586566/
some other recipes im seeing are using a pound or more total. a lot of people have been adding some to boil, which as of this writing it is too late to consider. cant decide if i want to add 1/2 or a whole pound...
Went with 8oz flaked unsweetend coconut for 3 days and it is really coconutty! But not too much.
==============================
STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE
January 2018
original notes from strawberry milkshake research :
did not finish my recipe before getting to the brewstore so its a little improvised but i think it will work.
one worry is that the original recipe was only 1073 OG. when i beefed up the malt bill i did not add any additional bittering hops so it will be pretty low IBU and Bu/GU but we'll see...
strawberry is strawberry puree. or maybe frozen and thawed fruit. add the fruit after high krausen. add dry hops after that, approx 4 days before keggings.
based off
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/437443/milkshake-style-ipa-clone
some people say add green apples to boil to get the pectin which makes the body and haze - no apple flavor in the end. guy said he added 5 apples. for this version i will omit though. https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/milkshake-ipa-help.497852/
some say to add wheat flour too but im not so worried about the appearance, it should be hazy enough with the oats wheat and manchester yeast...
heres another recipe reference supposedly closer to the tired hands version :
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/392896/ipa-tired-hands-milkshake
thinking about breaking off a couple gallons before the strawberry addition and adding toasted coconut :
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/coconut-ipa.445732/
1.5 lb coconut toast at 190 for 15 min constantly turning. Some add to mash or boil or keg but I think I'll just secondary
update 01242018 : some homebrew stores have kits now, check out the grain bill for those (more or less the same, they dont use any puree necessarily : http://www.greatfermentations.com/downloads/instructions/beerkits/ShakeitGoodMIPAAG.pdf

Notes: Maybe going to use no chill for Hopback - empty boil kettle into cube add hops, remove air and seal - sit in fermenting fridge until pitching temp is reached (2-3 days). Strain out hops and empty into FV, pitch yeast.
Ferment at 18.5 for 5 days then raise to 22 to finish fermentation |

Mash keeping the tempature as close to 157 degrees as possible.
Add the Cascade hops 1/2 oz when it reaches a boil and another 1/2 oz one hour later. Use pellet hops. If you use whole leaf, you will need to use more. Add 1 tsp Irish Moss 15 minutes before the end of the boil. Drop to 69 degrees as quickly as possible after the boil and pitch the yeast
