Anybody ever tried it? good results? shooting for about 90 IBUS

Yummy.

This is my schedual:

2 oz cascade 60 minutes

.5 oz @ 50, 40, 30, 20, 10

1 oz DH

i;ve done it and its one of my best IPA's.

I do 2 oz at 60
1 @ 20
1 @ 15
1 @ 10
1@ 5
1 @ 0

I've also done it with 3/4 oz magum at the 60 and the rest cascades and that turns out real smooth and nice.

how many IBUS is that? you do mostly aromatic.. i figure the best way to get to know my american hops is to hop every ten minutes so i can get a good feel of all three aspects.

My Highest IBU was around 60, and boy was it "HOPPY", but that's just fine with me, Maybe I'll shoot higher on the next batch. Let me know how that turned out.

can do. i'm also gonna work a 150 IBU one just for the hell of it.

Wow.....!!!! The Highest one I had was real hoppy, used Amarillo pellet hops for d/hopping. But I had hops floating in my bottles, very, very small particulars that I just couldn't filter out, not really a big deal, because it tasted SO good, I didn't give a ______.! That's the only problem I've experience is filtering out that dry hops .....???? I love "Clear" beer. But I agree with you, love that hoppy taste.

mabye before bottling you could use bentonite to take everything out of solution?

You really need Whole Hops for Dry Hopping.

I use Plugs when I can for Dry Hopping, After all there Whole Hops Compressed.

Or you can buy a Hop Ball.
I have one and have used it a few times.

Yeah shawn i figured i would so my mom let me order a pound from hopsdirect. eleven bucks, cant go wrong.

A well played out brew that was very tasty.. especially with the cl-50

i just tasted it. man you guys are right. tasty as hell.

I'm on a single hop brewing kick lately, as in each beer I'm making, I'm only using one variety.

I'm doing this so I can isolate the effects on the palate and know what contributions they make to the brew. I think that long term this will help my recipe formulations more than reading someone else's description of the flavors/aromas etc.

Been an interesting little experiment.

All Chinook is brewing this weekend. The all Cascade was not bad. I'd do it again.

Try all Columbus! I'm hooked on it myself.

+1000 on the all Columbus IPA. It's one of my house beers.

That is in the plan. Got a pound of Columbus, Chinook, and Goldings in this week.

I did a Columbus/Chinook IPA not long ago and it was nice.

i did one in jan with nothing but Cyrstal. It turned out pretty good. probably won't do it again iwth that hop. While it was a good beer it wasn't a great hop

I did an all Mt Hood Helles and an all Mt Hood Dortmunder.

The Dort turned out very tasty.
The Helles needs some-more Lagering...

Mt hood is an awesome hop. I don't use for IPA but its really nice in lagers. Just killed a keg of pils that was finished with mt hood.

Isn't that the American Hallertau?

BB, yes (it comes form hallur)

But not the same

I wanna do a haller+ Pilsner smash dortmunder.

Drinking my all Cascade dry hopped IPA right now, but I boiled with Columbus and Chinook, it's awesome!! Cascades are great for dry hopping.

i know! they didnt absorb very much of the beer, either. for me, atleast. I ordered a pound from hopsdirect and they smell absolutely beautiful.

"Isn't that the American Hallertau? "

I think there better ,BB

what makes them better other than price, shawn?

There a touch spicier and have more forest to them I think...

hmmm all columbus eh.... hadn't done that one yet... Thanks for the idea....

im also gonna try all amarillo. ive heard nothing but good things about that hop.

I agree, if you like an all Cascade IPA, try it with Amarillo. Incredible!!

what kind of flavour does it give it?

Goto Beerdujour.com and look in Fred's Recipes. Look at Fred's Amarillo Pale Ale. All late aditions and I get complete Grapefruit flavor... Very young it's like grapefruit juice.

+1.060 to Freds amarillo pale ale.....great stuff.... That recipe is a good base recipe for all sorts of single hop beers.

BB- what's your base for your all Columbus house beer?

Damn that looks good BB. Is it gonna be on tap in a few weeks?

Robert,

I believe that is one of BB's Signature Recipes

Well, probably not. I'm burning through kegs like crazy. Not sure how much if left in this one. If I can remember to do it, I'll pull off a liter and put it in a PET bottle.

Thanks BB

Make that 2 PET bottles that need to be filled....

I found 24 Oz shasta sodas at the local 98 cent store.... @ 69 cents with soda.... they seem like a good find so far... clear bottles so if your shipping them, warn the receiver about keeping them from being light struck......

My favorite are the 1 liter Canada Dry, Dr. Pepper, etc. with the smooth sides. I hate the Coke shaped ones.

I'd like to see some nice .5 liter ones.

You get Canada Dry in texas?

We get Canada Dry all over the USA....

I didn't know that. I figured it was just a Canada thing.

You get Canada Dry in Canada? crap I thought it was an American product... lol

Just wrapped up an all cascade IPA for the day. I used this for my hop schedule
Cascades at 7.2%AA

1.5oz 60 min
0.5oz 30 min
0.5oz 20 min
0.5oz 15min
0.5oz 10 min
0.5oz 5 min
1.0oz 0 min

2-3oz of dry hopping yet to come. Smells good so far!

Let us know how it taste's when it's done

Bwwwhahahah I entered 70 Oz and 30 Oz for BB's recipe into beer smith as place holders until I convert the numbers.....Beer Smith calculated it as 2236.7 IBU's

BB Couple questions... Have you used C-40 in any amount as opposed to the C-60 (I have it bulk is all)?
Again same question... Vienna for munich (again I have it in bulk)?

Luckily I have a club meeting next weekend so I can get some grain if needed....

thats what i did exept i put 2 oz for 60.

I find the numbers in Beer Smith to be calculated slightly different. Very interesting. The main thing was the correction for the FWH settings. BB's set for -50% in promash and BeerSmith has 10% for it's default.

Crap now I have to go trolling the other forums....


BTW my sCider is fricken wonderful... feeling it already... This is the November '09 edition...

I want to taste that Cider John....

Is it nice and sweet brother and English?

I'll be shipping it out next week.... unless I bust a nut shortly and finally weld the BK up....

You got my Addy Bro

Love ya John..

Give The Pooper a call

I'm up having a good time

I did an all grain Cascade PA, 3 oz in boil. Added a lil molasses to the wort. Was amazing. My first brew too.

" B Couple questions... Have you used C-40 in any amount as opposed to the C-60 (I have it bulk is all)?
Again same question... Vienna for munich (again I have it in bulk)?"

I've only used C-60, C20 and some C-120 once. Nothing in between, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, if you don't mind it being a little lighter. For that I say, who cares? I wouldn't recommend trying to add more C-40 to achieve a darker SRM. As for Vienna instead on Munich, that should work well, in fact that sounds good. It's a simple recipe. I've messed around with the ingredients a lot and while some attempts are better than others, it always produces a nice beer. Maybe it's just my love for Columbus hops.

If I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one variety of hops, Columbus would be it.

ok ok ok ok I will buy it...it's in Beersmith converted to ounces(cause i aint as fancy with dem der Euro met'rick system) and on deck for the next session!!

LOL
