Mash Hop IPA with INCOGNITO | Brewtools B40 | EP53 | Hops & Gnarly Home Brewery

[@AllianceOfCalgon]

The problem I found with mash hopping is extraction efficiency due to the grains even with a full volume mash. Looking forward to trying incognito in a no boil.

[@TheBruSho]

Loving the innovation coming from new hop products and yeasts, more tools for us to play with!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

God bless YVH 🫡

[@moedogger21]

Great video as always. I just did my first mash hop a couple weeks ago. I'll be kegging the beer tonight and trying a sample. Can't wait

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Hell yea! Here’s hoping it turns out well 🍻

[@Jango1989]

Killing it as always! That looks like a great technique. Definitely going to give it a go on my next IPA!

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I've been really wanting to explore this topic more. Glad you helped answer some questions on what to expect! I think if you're worried about mash hopping introducing too much bitterness, I've heard that using whole cone hops instead keeps that from happening.

[@nsmith1388]

I'm working through all your videos! Great work and easily the best produced homebrewing content on the internet. Not that my opinion matters, but I hope you continue to produce content for years to come!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks for your support! I hope so too 🤘🏼🍻

Doing a heavy thiol hazy next weekend on the 7th to bring the new year in. Hitting it with 5 ounces in the mash hop. 3 cascade 2 saaz. Full incognito Citra and mosaic in whirlpool 20g each with 1 ounce of cryo Amarillo. 5 ounces of phantasm powder in whirlpool. Cryo hops in the two stage dry hopping as well with the cosmic punch yeast. Covering all the bases to see what happens lol 😂

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Damn! I want to try some phantasm soon!

[@cschendt2368]

How did it turn out? I’m wanting to do a beer like that soon after reading about it in Scott Janish’s blog

[@ItsReck1]

@@cschendt2368 honestly it turned out crazy good. The hop flavor off incognito is insane! The guava scent from the thiols being released came through very heavy. Heavy tropical flavors, pineapple, passion fruit. With retrained floral notes from the Amarillo and mosaic. Really helped round out the hazy ipa hop profile.

[@cschendt2368]

@@ItsReck1 Glad to hear that! Once it warms up enough for me here to start brewing again it's probably going to be the first one I brew up. Cheers, brother!

[@jaredyoung5340]

I've got a pack of cosmic punch that I'm planning to use this week for an ipa. Planning a mash hop additionnof cascade... will use ahtanum and a little citra for kettle and dry additions... should be fruity! I didnt catch what you used for your mash addition.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Cascade 👌🏼 sounds great have fun

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

Killer video as always!!! Just picked up some Citra Incognito that I’m excited to try!!!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks man! Stoked to see how yours turns out!

[@timharstead4190]

So from what I've read the biggest advantage of kettle hopping is going to be when you use a thiolized yeast as it releases precursors that those yeasts can turn into thiols

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Yep thiolized yeast has enhanced IRC7 enzyme activity that converts precursors to thiols and there are some strains that naturally are capable of the same thing but usually small amounts. There are also free thiols in some hop varieties

[@vruychev]

Excellent experiment... as always. Cheers

[@justincutajar7424]

Continue to enjoy your content brother ! Keep up the good work. Cheers from down under

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Cheers!

[@lmomontezzo]

just found out your channel. great content, amazing production, dream gear. all awesome, congrats!!! if i can give my two cents, got a bit disappointed when you added the incognito with the mash hops. i'd definitely rather seeing your impression on the mash hops and incognito on two different batches. with both variables introduced together, it’s probably hard to distinguish what each of them brought up. keep up with the great channel, you just got a subscriber who will for sure go through all you videos! cheers from brazil.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Stoked you’re enjoying! In the previous video I used the incognito so the change for this one was basically just the mash hop 🤘🏼🍻

[@lmomontezzo]

@@HopsANDgnarly cool! haven't seen the other one yet, I'll check it out.

[@jonthebeau4653]

I want to try Incognito but $15 for the equivalent of 4oz of t-90 pellets is kind of steep. I will probably give it a try but if it doesn't change my life I can't see using it on the regular

[@HopsANDgnarly]

That’s a fair argument

[@geradgiles9244]

Awesome vids man!

[@Mikkogram]

Are those yeast strains b-lyase producers? Without a fairly high enzymatic activity there is no need for thiol precursors

[@Mikkogram]

I am going to experiment with thiols in the next weeks. But i LL approach it differently. I just do mash hopping and try out different beer yeast strains as well as thiol wine yeast strains. Unfortunately i cannot get the irc7 crispr yeasts from omega since GMO is banned for consumables in Europe

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Let me know how it goes! There are plenty of non gmo yeasts capable of bio transformation

[@chrisinestes]

Hey @Hops & Gnarly... Will Incognito add a TON of bitterness to my beer (like BeerSmith says) if I add the recommended 1 gram/liter to my whirlpool for 20 minutes at 170F? I'm going to brew my first NEIPA this Saturday, and would like to use Incognito, but don't want a 100+ IBU NEIPA, like BeerSmith says I'll have.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Negative. If I remember right you have to adjust BeerSmith manually to get the whirlpool calculations to actually work. I think it’s a checkbox in the equipment profile. When you’re actually using them I would suggest dip hopping so you don’t gunk up your kettle. Drop to 180/190 transfer about 1/3 to your fermenter add the incognito then chill the rest of the wort in your kettle. When it’s chilled transfer the rest on top and continue chilling on the cold side to pitching temp

[@jmsnystrom]

Why do warlauf step?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Helps maximize your efficiency

[@rivrivrivera2916]

Dan, What hops do you use for the mash hops ?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Sorry I didn't mention that! Lupomax Cascade

[@AreYouFor86]

Awesome video. What mash hops did you use?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Lupomax cascade! Should have mentioned that!

[@stinthecitycity8597]

Awesome batch 👍🏼👍🏼 what was the total amount of hops added?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks! 270 grams of hops plus 30 grams of incognito

[@sk8nchill52]

Grams 🥴 ounces 😵‍💫

[@Hellbrews]

Awesome video I really enjoyed the road trip! And the beer flawless as always. P.s Is that fly at the beginning an omen of what’s coming ? Cheers 🍻🍻🤙🏼

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Hahaha thanks man! Cheers 🤘🏼🍻

[@EricVandenAkker]

just a 20 min boil?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Yessir. A lot of people skip the boil all together for beers like this

[@MasteringHomebrew]

Nice. Looks like fire rosin 😂

[@HopsANDgnarly]

You know that’s gonna end up in someone’s rig

[@MasteringHomebrew]

@@HopsANDgnarly time to press some hops for my next IPA👀

@@MasteringHomebrew video coming soon 🤘🏼

[@williammatson9238]

Someday I wish to brew my own IPA but I live in a sober house😓😥 and in my opinion dry drunks are worse than someone who drinks

[@HopsANDgnarly]

If there’s a homebrew club in your area you might be able to get in on a group brew! Lots of fun
