First recipe creation. Mosaic Hell IIPA

Post #1 made 10 years ago
by Lumpy5oh
I typically like to create recipes with the Brewr app on my phone and translate them into the Biabacus. This time around the numbers were so far off(probably because of the gravities?);I decided to scrap the app and only use the Biabacus.
I hope to brew this over the holidays :pray:
I am feeling pretty adventurous with this beer and want to hold back 1L of wort to prime with in the keg. I am also considering a partigyle brew with galaxy hops and maybe a couple of pounds of 2 row added back to the mash.
Anyways I wanted to get some eyes on the file just to be sure everything is aiming the right way.
Thanks Folks

Some people are like slinkies. Not good for much, but bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

Thanks Yeasty.
Looking at it again I do have a question about the IBU's. I entered the 100 IBU'S as a quess expecting the what I will use section to change. It stayed the same. I'm not overly concerned with it but it would be nice to know if something was off.
Thanks

Top of section C. is your issue, Lumpy. You have the OG entered on the wrong side.

The side you entered the OG, that is only for scaling a recipe to a different gravity ... the original needs to be on the left side.

Also, I'm not sure why you have the same exact information on the right side of the hop information ... that area is for substitutions.

That's a huge amount of crystal malt, too. If you have experience using that much for this style, disregard my concern ... but that is quite a bit. 20% crystal malt is the upper end for IPA style, I've pushed up to 10% myself and ended up backing it off a bit. Nearing 30%, I'd be very curious as to what that tastes like.

Thanks Rick!
I put the duplicate hops in hoping the values would change. Your suggestions did the trick.
As for the grain bill I ha just finished reading an article telling me that my grains would not be very good just before you posted. I have deleted the carahell and red and replaced them with a pound of victory bringing the crystal under 10%. I had put in the original malts thinking of balance when really I don't want balance; I want a punch in the face of hops.
Thanks Again. :clap:

That looks much better. Victory isn't a crystal malt, btw ... but it's a pretty welcome addition to the style. I believe Victory is most similar to biscuit and aromatic malt, if you are familiar.

I'm a big fan of CaraVienne in pale ales. I've used Briess Crystal 30, 40, 80, 120 and they all seem to provide more sweetness than I like. CaraVienne, though ... it just gives a caramel flavor with very little residual sweetness.

I only mention that, because CaraRed is said to be a close substitution for CaraVienne. I hear the British crystal malts are similar in the way [malty > sweetness], but I haven't gotten around to trying them yet.

I use anywhere from 3.5% to 7% caravienne with excellent results in my IPA recipe. I may even sub carared into my next IPA brew day, just to experience how similar it might be to caravienne.

Crystal malt is just optional in IPA's, so you really don't even need it.

Unfortunately I never got around to brewing this. A number of things came up and got in the way. I haven't even brewed in 6 months. I am moving May 1st and hope to get something fermenting shortly after.
