We hit around 50 IBU's on our double IPA   You figure we are maintaining 205-210 degrees for the 20 minutes of whirlpool, plus the 45 minutes it takes to cool the beer in to the fermenter   its quite a bit to be honest, you still get quite a lot of isomerization even without being at a full boil

tasting it   we maintain the sample at 140-160 degrees for 4 hours, then let it naturally cool down and then taste it    

for a 7bbl batch I use 18 pounds of hops total

here is the recipe for one of our NE IPAs on our 1bbl pilot system, this was the original Animorphus recipe before I tweaked it into what it is now, Changeling 2   https://untappd.com/b/collusion-tap-works-animorphus-changling-2/1741853   70% Pilsner, 15% oats, 15% torrified wheat   zero boil...

that is going to be a full on caramel malt bomb with the color of a dark brown ale   in a 1bbl, 31 gallon batch that we do on our pilot system, I use 1lb of special B in a 65 pound recipe to add serious raisin character, and you did it in 5 gallons   its more similar to a weizenbock than a hefe

judge them as they come in, try to ship them before the end of the month

I am surprised no one used Vermont Ale, but it is the same stuff as London III and the british ale yeast is pretty close as well     yeast bay makes a vermont strain as well

like less than 10% sugar typically    

where are you getting 18 pounds of sugar for 5 gallons from? i see 2.5lbs of syrup, but not 18

of course

free amino nitrogen    and Yeastex is my favorite

FAN, oxygen, minerals, zinc, DAP, all that stuff is needed for a proper fermentation   candi syrup is basically a mixture of different types of sugar and water reduced into a thick sludge        

if I can find it

that would be super gross  

got ya

I will judge them the day that they show up, its only fair for this type of beer and there should be no condition time   it should be dry hop for 3-5 days, then a single day of crash and into the bottles/kegs to either bottle condition or carb and ship   I turn around my Animorphus IPA in 10...

remember   the hops used for NE IPAs are super fruity and juicy   mosaic, citra, galaxy, azacca, simcoe, amarillo, el dorado, rakau, that kind of jazz

works for me

10 cents yo!

bottles go out this week
