Notes: Cant remember which day I added blueberry and DME. Tonight is 5/23 I get FG 1016. Noticing from notes last time I used london 3 not rva.
5/11/2021
brew day
making a copy for indigo. came out to 6 gallons and 1067 which is 7.6%. was considering adding .5 lb dme to boost it to 8...nah. also just realizing this rva manchester is estimating 85% attenuation to 1010 FG but first batch was actually wy1318 london iii which came out to 83% attenuation and 1018 final gravity... i think i might just run it as is and take this all as learning experience.
it appears i did get almost the exact same 60% efficiency as i did last time, but last time i ended up at 1072 OG vs 1067 this time. the difference is i have approximately 6 gallons of wort. even with all the hops i was over on wort. after the boil it still appeared to be around 7 gallons in the kettle. i guess i should just start accounting for .5 gallons boil loss and .5 trub loss. so 6.5 pre boil, 6 post boil, and 5.5 in fermentor.
also just to note, for yeast i made a double starter for the rva jar and will split the yeast half for this batch and half for a raspberry wheat later this week.
4/1/2011
Kegged last week, tasted great already, the hops were present and pairing well with the blueberry but slightly subdued so I added another 3oz mosaic dry hop to the keg to even it out at 1lb total mosaic. Having a full pint tonight, its money.
==============================
3/22/2021
opened today for gravity reading and to add dry hop. 1.018. smells great. tastes great. not as darkly colored as previous blueberry beer but its like a hazy pink on its way to purple. tastes great, a little harsh bitter note, could be the mosaic? there is no bittering hops in this brew.
should be good! should be ready soon! will leave it to dry hop for 3 days then take out the bag, take another gravity reading to make sure the fruit has fermented out / no further activity. after that will need to cold crash for a day or two then keg. possibly add another 2nd dry hop to the keg. i have a few oz left of the bag.
==============================
3/3/2021
initial recipe formulation
copying base recipe from mango maya. keeping basically the entire grain bill, adjusting efficiency to 60, removing DME and adjusting base malt to get to 8%. im hoping to cook the oats and get better efficiency than in the past. if we end up with 6% it should still be tasty.
axing the 1lb honey malt - i dont think it plays as well with blueberry as it does with mango. also its heavy on lovibond making th ebase beer more orange colored which goes ok with mango but for blueberry im hoping more toward yellow hazy ipa base beer as a bright backdrop for the purple blueberries.
making up a new hop schedule, 100% mosaic. not sure how much to use. starting with 13oz - about the same as mango maya. will probably buy a bag so if it needs 3oz more in a 2nd dry hop, that will be available.
decided on only 3lb blueberry - last time i used blueberry i did 6lbs and it was way too much. i think it will not be lacking in blueberry color and flavor, especially accented by the mosaic.
could maybe do without the vanilla bean? and lactose? prob not. |

Notes: Briess Golden Light LME listed for calculations sake but actually used Thomas Coopers Light Malt Extract - unable to find in the list
Unable to get London Ale III 1318 - supplier had White Labs Dry English Ale Yeast instead - Suggest using the London Ale III 1318 if you can get it, should contribute to the fruity esters more than the Dry English Ale
First dry hop after 2 days of active fermentation
Second dry hop 72 hours after first dry hop
*Also start diacetyl rest
Tried using my tap water in lieu of bottled water
*PH straight from the tap of 8.6 - managed to get it down to 7.2, hopefully this doesn't affect the final product
OG: 1.062
FG: 1.014
ABV 6.3%
*Update: Fermentation was delayed probably due to the high Gravity of the beer and not using a starter with the liquid yeast, pitched on Saturday afternoon but showed no signs of active fermentation until Monday Afternoon - suggest making a yeast starter or doubling the pitched yeast
**Notes during keg transfer: Colour is very dark compared to traditional NEIPA and far from Biggie Juice. Tastes of a tropical mix of Grapefruit, Passionfruit, Pineapple, Spice and Citrus. Very fruity and pungent on the nose. Subtle alcohol notes in the background reflecting the 6.3% ABV - could be a placebo having measured the ABV prior to tasting.
Cold crashed for 24 hrs prior to kegging and will carbonate @ serving pressure (10psi) for 2 weeks.
I used 250g of Vienna in my first attempt at this brew and I'm assuming the Vienna and possibly the choice of extracts have attributed to the darker colour - I'd suggest excluding the Vienna.
21/04/2020 - Beer tastes amazing. It has a beautiful creamy head, hazy and amber in colour with a vastly tropical flavour. Starts off semi sweet but finishes bitter with a marginal alcoholic profile. Missed the mark of a Biggie Juice clone but all in all a great drop of beer. Turned out more like a Pirate Life Tropical IPA. Will rename this recipe and try again with a different recipe for a biggie juice clone. |
