Double IPA All-Grain Recipe

[@Chad20109]

thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

[@MeanBrews]

My pleasure! Making the video is easy. The research and analyzing the data takes forever...

[@andrewbarker1190]

Timing on this video is perfect for me, this is the style I'm scheduling to brew next. If ever there's been a case for the metric system it's hopping rates in grams per litre. This percentages of ounces per gallon...it's amusing and more complicated than it needs to be. Makes me chuckle.

[@andrewbarker1190]

Oh...I commented before watching to the end! Metric showed up!

[@chriscarey2504]

I learn a lot from your videos - thanks!

[@MeanBrews]

Thanks! I learn a lot by making them!

[@davidbartal7494]

Great videos! I've seen that the website is down unfortunately. Are the PDF's available anywhere else?

[@MeanBrews]

just the brewfather recipe! sorry!

[@Bullsbrew551]

Really like your videos they are very informative. What are your thoughts on using Cryo hops? With the large amount of plant material and possible “grassy flavors”. Thank you.

[@MeanBrews]

I've actually been disappointed with them but have not tried it enough to have a firm position on them. I'd rather explore the pH impact on hop flavor and aroma vs dive into cryo full steam.

Interesting to choose Chico yeast. I personally don’t like the esters thrown by this yeast when fermented around 70F. Instead, a London strain has more fruity pleasant esters that hold up well as the beer ages. If Ft.George brewing uses London ESB in their West Coast IPAs, then I believe it should be used in these styles. Else in your recipe looks great!

[@MeanBrews]

It wasn't me that chose it, it was the winners! I think its more about attenuation than flavor. Esters hidden behind massive hops.

@meanbrews Thank you for all the great videos! 13:56 With the shorter and shorter DH times do you have any advice or preferred techniques for avoiding hop creep/possible diacetyl formation after kegging or bottling? I typically do a DH a few points from FG for 3-4 days then cold crash 2 days (total 5-6 days). Haven’t noticed any diacetyl but I’m also not so experienced to be able to pick up on that flavor specifically. I have been kegging but sometimes bottle straight from the keg.

[@MeanBrews]

I've heard that if you dry hop shorter and at colder temps you can avoid hop creep. I've experienced creep before and it absolutely will destroy you in competition. I either wait it out or risk it personally.

[@davidbeiler6364]

can you do a west coast IPA recipe?

[@MeanBrews]

I've done one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTHq2WGa7qFjJI

[@nozzde]

do you cold crash after that 2-3 days hold with the dry hops? that would increase the hops contact time and bring some level of harshness maybe? thank you for your content

[@TeeCee_DF]

Three of the recipes are mine. I chill after the last day of dry hop, over the next two days, with the hops still in the fermentor. I do the same with NEIPAs. It doesn't throw harshness like I get if I dry hop in a keg at say 40F. I have no idea why, but it doesn't happen. But one day of hops in a keg and insta-harsh. Takes weeks to mellow.

[@nolanrosen7823]

What was the pH on this brew?

[@nolanrosen7823]

Nevermind

[@JPch108]

Very good... Portugal Aveiro

Thank you!
