Dry hopped my now named El Duderino IPA last night. First round of dry hops was 1 oz. El Dorado, 1 oz. Motueka, and .5 oz. Azacca. The 2nd round of dry hopping was 1 oz. El Dorado and .5 oz. of Azacca. The taste before the first dry hop was pretty outstanding considering there were no dry hops added yet. I used Gigayeast Vermont IPA. As of right now, it sitting at 1.012. I used a starter with this also.

Just picked up a ton of yeast and thinking about brewing an American Barleywine on Monday. Never brewed one before so this should be fun.

I think this is the recipe I'm going with...

OG: 1.100
Mash Temp: 149
Boil Time: 120 min
Est ABV: 10.75%

Malt
57% 2-row
32% Maris Otter
5% Cane Sugar
2% Caravienne
1% Crystal 120
1% Crystal 60
1% Crystal 40
1% Caramunich

Hops
1.0oz Magnum FWH
1.0oz Columbus 60min
0.5oz Chinook 60min
1.0oz Centennial 15min
1.0oz Cascade 0min
1.0oz Centennial 0min
1.0oz Simcoe 0min
1.0oz Amarillo DryHop
1.0oz Centennial DryHop
1.0oz Simcoe DryHop

If it turns out well I may end up barrel aging this one.

Simcoe @ FWH, flameout, 180F, and dry hop

Mash 152

Agree with LST. What's up with the 120 min boil too?

Working on our new brewing setup. Plan to swap out old turkey fryer pot for 8 gallon kettle as our HLT and switch to keggle in the near future. Both have been sand blasted recently and are so fresh and so clean.



Note how well you can take the top off a keg with a 8" grinder.

I ended up going with an ounce FWH, then 1.5 oz at flameout and 1.5 oz at 180F

Measure out 3 oz to dry hop with

I went with the 149 mash temp bc I prefer my American barleywines in the dry side. I've had a few barleywines that were mashed in the low 150s and they tend to be a little sweet for my taste.

Allegedly the longer boil in bigger beers allows more time for malliard formation adding some malt complexity with a ton of specialty grains. A lot of the commercial barleywine clones I looked at boiled for 90 minutes or more so I figured what the hell.

I am attempting my first batch of home brew. Wife got me a 1 gal kit from brooklyn brew house.

Trying it out on the stove, its an american pale ale.

Already broke the thermometer from the kit, luckily we had a couple spares.

That's awesome Zappas. If you want to get rid of one of those tanks around the time of the jamboree let me know.

Brewed the partial mash bottomland saison yesterday evening and already have bubbling this morning. Thanks for the help.

I did not add the French oak chips because I was not sure how to make sure they would not contaminate the beer. Thinking about that brought up the question of how do you add fruits and other flavors at boilout without any contamination?
