Notes: ==============================
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: Mash Schedule:
*Dough in to start the mash at 52°C
*Leave for 10 minutes
*Remove approximately 30% of the mash and put in a large saucepan
*Add 30g of Styrian Golding hops
*Heat to 60°C and hold for 1-2 minutes
*Bring to a boil and leave for 20 minutes
*Return the boiled decoction to the main mash and stir
*Mash temp should now be 63°C (approx)
*Leave for 45 minutes
*Sparge with near boiling water (95°C)to collect 27lts in the boiler
*Adjust wort pH in the boiler using 80% Lactic Acid, before heating, to a pH of 4.4
*Heat until bubbles appear
*Chill to 20°C
*Pitch yeast and house culture
Extra Cultures Being Added:
*Vicaris - Triple/Geuze
*Odell - 5 Barrel Pale Ale
*Siren Craft Brewery - Gouttière Saison
*Wild Beer - Solera Aged Beer
The idea of brewing this again is due to the fact I won second place with the previous incarnation. I now need to see if I can produce the same or a very similar beer.
The house blend has been added to so I am pretty sure that the profile of the final beer will change even though I am doing everything to do with malt, hops and brewing yeast the same as before.
Wish me luck! |

Notes: Just brewed this today (7/6/14) at the request of my wife who just had a baby and can now enjoy a beer or two a bit more freely. We hit all the gravity, temperature, volume, etc targets that I wanted. The wort smelled and tasted great, seems like it is going to turn out really good. I will update in a few weeks once I get a taste.
The brew turned out good. It was judged as 32 points out of 50 in a local home brew contest. I think a mediocre fermentation was the culprit. I will brew this again, especially since I have now improved my fermentations by dialing in my fermentation chamber and adding an oxygenation system to my brew gear.
Based on contest comments I will: improve fermentation, beware of oxidizing the grain, mash, or wort, increase the % of oats, and edit the dark grains to achieve more roastiness. |

Notes: Step by Step
Mill the grains and mix with 3.5 gallons (13.25 L) of 163 °F (73 °C) strike water to reach an infusion mash temperature of 152 °F (67 °C). Hold at this temperature for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until your runnings are clear. Sparge the grains with 4 gallons (15 L) of 170 °F (72 °C) water until 7 gallons (26.5 L) of 1.035 SG wort is collected in your boil kettle. Boil for 60 minutes adding hops, yeast nutrient, and kettle finings according to the ingredients list. After the boil, turn off the heat and add the final hop addition and honey. Whirlpool the kettle by gently stirring with a mash paddle for 2 minutes and then let rest for an addition 13 minutes to achieve a 15-minute flameout steep. Chill the wort to 60 °F (16 °C), aerate, and pitch yeast. Ferment at 60 °F (16 °C) for the first 48 hours and then free rise up to 64 °F (18 °C) and hold at that temperature until you reach terminal gravity. Crash cool at 33 °F (1 °C) for the better part of a week and then package. Carbonate to between 2.4 and 2.6 volumes of Co2 then enjoy! |
