beer Official Brewdown Thread!!!

[Ozzy2001]

When are we planning to judge these? I'm probably bottle conditioning too. Brew this weekend.
1 week ferm
3-5 day dry hop
2 week condition

Need about a month?
Wheebz you want to make seperate thread?

 

[wheebz]

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 days from start to glass
 
 

 

[Ozzy2001]

I meant 2 weeks bottle condition to carb. I don't have room to keg it right now.

 

[wheebz]

got ya

So hey, can a west coast guy get in on the NE IPA brewdown?  I'm cooking one up tomorrow and wouldn't mind throwing a bottle into the mix.

 

[Ozzy2001]

Hell yeah man.

 

[wheebz]

of course

Fermentation is slowing down a bit on my NE IPA, so I hit it with a dry hop charge. 1.5 ounces of Azacca and Equinox mixed. I'll be hitting it with another hop charge tomorrow depending on where the gravity is at. The brew smells fantastic right now.

Good deal!  Got this one tucked away in primary now.  First time brewing this style for me. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Nice! It's my first NE IPA as well. What kind of yeast did you pitch? I went with WLP005, hoping some of the fruity esters will compliment the hops and style.

 

[Ozzy2001]

Hey Wheebz probably want to make a new thread for the NEIPA.

Either way I'm in




I like the color


I pitched WLP 008. We'll see how it turns out.
Hit my numbers pretty close too. I'm hopeful for a good one.

I know this will come off shitty without entering myself, but if nobody posts a beer with GY054 or WY1318 - is even a NE IPA contest? ...
 
/runs

 

[wheebz]

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

 

[grantmichaels]

When is this due?

 

[tctenten]

When is this due?

There we go. Brew one up.

 

[grantmichaels]

What's the deal - has to ship by Wed 11/30? ...
 

 

[tctenten]

Not sure. I have not been paying attention because I knew I could not enter. I think Wheebz said he woukd judge them as they came in.

 

[wheebz]

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

 

[grantmichaels]

To be in, I think I'd have to ship on the 1st or 2nd, but if I can make it happen towards the end of the week, I'll get started ...
 
I wasn't planning to enter, but I find myself oddly motivated now ...
