Omnipollo Double Raspberry Vanilla Smoothie IPA Clone

We're big fans of Omnipollo and this milkshake IPA all grain recipe from Euan Ferguson's Craft Brew home brewing recipe book really hit the spot. If we brew it again there are a couple of changes we'd make but all in all, it's a great recipe and we highly recommend it (and the book in general).

Damn, it sucks being lactose intolerant, looks great. That’s a cool book, I have that too. Cheers 🍻

[@BrewBrosUK]

Haha, it really does. I had this chat with a vegan in Brewdog Bath at the weekend. I suggested she take a flask of sugar syrup around with her to sweeten to taste!

A timely vid - Have just bought 2kg of that Funkin' puree and wondered when would be best to add. Raspberry Porter. Great vids, lads. Nice set up.

[@BrewBrosUK]

Nice! The puree gets a bit expensive....that's the only negative. Cheers!

[@TankardBrewing]

Another cracking video lads 👌 looks spot on!

[@BrewBrosUK]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@twolittletanks]

Why add the dry hop separately to the fruit piure?

[@BrewBrosUK]

Just followed the recipe

[@twolittletanks]

@@BrewBrosUK I get that, but in your professional opinion what is the point? Just trying to make sense of it.

[@BrewBrosUK]

@@twolittletanks we aren’t professional brewers so our opinion won’t be professional but we’ll do our best! It could be a number of reasons: interplay between hops and yeast (bio transformation), the addition of sugar via fruit could kick off a second active fermentation it’s best to avoid dry hopping in, perhaps the brewery (or writer) wants to benefit from certain hop characteristics by dry hopping later rather than earlier (Cloudwater did an interesting experiment on dry hopping after active fermentation as opposed to the more traditional ‘last 4-5 days’). Brewdog dry hop for the last 4-5 days at 14 degrees. Usually with fruit you get more benefits in terms of flavour and colour the longer you leave it in there. Probably a combination of all the above tbh…

Hi Lads I have done 3 clones from your so far and they taste amazing, I just wondering if you would be interested to adding another clone recipe to your offer? I have done some research and can’t find anyone in UK sealing Foster’s clone , will be this possible please? Thanks Andrzej

[@BrewBrosUK]

Thanks for the support! 🍺 Fosters is a difficult one because the hop it uses (Pride of Ringwood) isn’t really available here. We have our Simple Lager which is quite close but slightly stronger at 5% but we could do a 4% version too?

You sell good amount to make few bucks or just for fun?

[@BrewBrosUK]

A few beer tokens and some fun tbh
