Brewing in Anvil 5.5 gal kettle.
-Hops & spices added to a hops bag to lessen the trub.
-Add 4 oz maltodextrin during last 10 minutes of boil with remaining hops & spices.
-Add Flavorings (Vanilla extract) prior to adding yeast for primary fermentation.
-Primary fermentation in the kettle or 3 Gallon BrewDemon for 14 days.
Optional: Rack to secondary fermenter for 14 days to add spices and to clear a bit. Racking should stir up those lazy yeasties.
For this batch I will use Mangrove Jack - Belgian Ale Yeast M41 (This yeast emulates the intensity and complexity of some of the best monastic breweries in Belgium, with spicy and phenolic tones. The high attenuation and alcohol tolerance of this strain allows you to brew a huge range of Belgian beers. Suitable for Belgian Strong Golden and Belgian Strong Dark Ales.)

Notes: 1. Steep grains at 153 for 25 minutes in 2.25 gallons of water. I used kettle that's not my brew kettle for this step.
2. After the 25 minutes is up, I poured the warm grain water back over the grains into my brew kettle.
3. Fill the brew kettle to 3.75 gallons of water.
4. Pour all DME into the cool water and stir in.
5. Start boil and follow the hop schedule. I use a hop bag.
6. Cooled wort. When wort cooled to 180°F, added the HS hops; 1.25oz Centennial, 2oz Mosaic, 1oz Citra. Let sit for 25 minutes as the wort cools.
7. Dropped temp to 69-70, filled carboy, topped off to 5 gallon mark, pitched yeast.
8. Nine days into fermentation, I added the dry hops.
9. (14 days from brew day) Measure out your priming sugar solution. Bottle.
10. Wait two weeks. Enjoy. |

24 hours is long enough for the peppers to steep - 48 is the outside, as a slight bitter flavor begins to develop. |

Notes: My try at an IIPA with CaraAroma. The Chinook hops are from home vines.
Mashing at 158 - want a higher FG with this beer to provide backbone for all the hops.
Objective - bitter as hell, but makes you want more. Smells like beer heaven. Best drank from a snifter. Coats the teeth with hops resin. Pairs well with a cigar. A universe of complexity and enjoyment.
First try with the new BRY-97 yeast. Should be fun to see how this new Chico strain performs. Could only get one 11g pack, so I will make a starter.
Expecting lower than normal efficiency due to the relatively high OG for me, and my thin walled mash tun. Going to mash for 90 minutes to try to mitigate this, stir well, and keep the temp as consistent as I can.
1/7/2013 - Results! This is a very respectable and drinkable IIPA, a lot better than many that I've had at the popular Green Dragon bar here in town!
The flavor is very caramel and malt like, bit of a roasty herbal hop finish. It does coat my tongue, mostly with sweetness. It does give a very slight bitter burn at times. The back of my tongue is 'coated', but not my entire mouth, which I think makes this IIPA easier to drink than many which are too overpowering. I still want to find that delicate balance point. The extra gypsum paid off, and I do get a mineral flavor in the aftertaste, which fits nicely with the sweetness.
The Amarillo dry hop really completes it, do not skip that step! (this is based on the sample I tasted before dry hopping)
The aroma is sweet caramel, mild tropical fruit, and herbal hops. The original pineapple I was getting from the BRY-97 is mostly gone, and amazingly this beer tastes great after only a few days in the bottle.
Honestly, I was shooting for something more bitter, so I would go ahead and up it to 140 IBUs next time, even though that is technically outside the IIPA style guidelines - it is malty and it can handle more hops. In fact, I might shoot for 50% more hops at every step next time to really amp it up. Since I was using home grown Chinook hops, all bets are off in terms of the actual AA value - ymmv. |
