Notes

I'm trying to clone "RAGE" which is a very enjoyable and refreshing campfire side beer by BlackFlag Brewing, QLD, Australia. The original RAGE is a 6% ABV, low bitterness, slightly sweet, quite full-bodied, slightly hazy IPA with a light amber colour and pronounced citrus /stonefruit/herbal aroma. When it was first released, the brewery publicised their use of Azacca, ElDorado and Citra hops in this beer.

This is my planned "second attempt" learning from today's brew day (24/11/2025). The wort was darker than expected so I've removed the 50g BedBack malt. (RedBack always makes my beer darker than desired). Also I'm now convinced that the aroma that I associate with RAGE is the ElDorado so here I've used the Azacca hops for the Bittering and the ElDorado for the late addition aroma hop. I feel that more bittering is required (currently 32 IBU). CAUTION: My English palate favours more bitter beer than most Australians enjoy.

I'm very surprised that the OG was only 1.043. (expected 1.050) I'm rarely under target. This does suit me though since I want this batch as my summer Christmas camping drink where drinking high ABV in the Australian heat is often a bad decision.
Here I've adjusted my BrewHouse efficiency accordingly.

Notes on the recipe: I've left out the citra because I cant detect it in the original RAGE beer anymore. I like Pomona yeast as it does give a stable haziness and does enhance tropical hop flavours. The malts... well some thought went into the first attempt and now I've revised it a bit.
Taste testing of the finished beer is required to inform further revisions.
