Notes: Brewed in honor of the true light of my life, my incredible bride. Thank you for supporting my brewing obsession! I love ya baby!
Tasting notes:
Ok, so the beer is all carbed up and Chilled. I ended up using the zest and juice of 6 limes after reading this - > https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/1589-what-is-the-best-way-to-add-a-citrus-fruit-flavor-to-your-beer the BYO article that said to use 10 limes for a 5 gallon batch. This was a mistake.
First of all the beer is WAY too limey. I was hoping for "*beer with a hint of lime*" and ended up with "*lime flavor with a hint of beer*."
If I did it again, I'd go with the zest and juice of 3 *MAYBE* 4 limes if they're small.
Second of all the 1/2 lb of crystal 20 in the recipe is too much. I was going for just a slight hint of Malt character to balance the lime but it ended up being close to the color of an IPA! Not to mention that it's not as crisp as I was hoping for.
Using the WLP001 was one thing that definitely was the right choice. Because of the crazy active fermentation, it finished with 6.69%ABV and the higher alcohol at least helps cut at least a little of the residual Malt character, without tasting hot or phenolic. Such a great yeast.
If I were to brew this again, I'd probably just leave out all the crystal and go with a straight 50/50 - two row/wheat malt grain bill and only add the juice and zest of 3 limes at kegging.

Notes: 2L starter x 2days. Decanted off starter beer. Added 1 pack US-05 (and included extra mash step at 148) to account for 1084's poor attenuation. Next time, will decrease lactose to 1.5 lbs. Too milky for my taste, but folks love it. Super creamy! Also will slightly decrease Magnum hops to around 22 IBUs.

Notes: *Voted America's #1 Beer by the AHA* Drink Fresh as per Vinnie! IPA's will loose their aroma over time!
Mash in at 152 to get most fermentables and keeps the beer lighter bodied. More body mash in at 154 -160 F for 75 min.
Sparge at 170F remaining water to yield 8 gals wort.
Stir in Corn sugar and boil.
Chill to 65 and pitch 2 yeasts or a starter. Blow off tube is recommended. Could go very vigorously! Follow dry hop schedule.
Seehttps://www.homebrewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/6351/doubleIPA.pdf for any questions.
Seems very hoppy to me based on ingredients.
Will try this month March 2014! |

Notes: Kept 2 pounds of LME back until 15 minutes left in boil. Also used one ounce of Cascades and made a hop tea with my french press before adding to secondary fermenter.
Ends up with a nice head, good aroma and not overpowering. Grapefruit definitely lingers on the back of the tongue in a citrusy finish. Was the first beer I got to put in my new keg system. Totally worthy! |

Notes:
This recipe is essentially a Belgian Wit, but fermented with Saison yeast. A really simple, tasty summery wheat beer.
Steep the oats at 150-155 for 30 minutes. These oats can be left out of the recipe for a crisper/lighter flavor, but I really like the recipe as-is.
3711 is a beast of a yeast. It takes even extract recipes REALLY dry. |
