Foreside NEIPA

I ended up being pretty happy with the base of The Substance clone I brewed earlier this year and decided to try and make it again with different hops and yeast.  For this one, I picked up a packet of A38 Imperial Organics "The Juice" and loaded it up with my favorite hops (Citra, Mosaic, and Vic Secret).



I generally tend to use dry yeast, so was interested to see how the A38 would differ from the English Ale yeast I used previously.


I mashed in and was very close to my target temperature.



The preboil gravity was where I wanted it.


I whirlpooled, chilled and pitched the hops and stuck it in the fermentation chamber.


A week later, the krausen had not yet fallen.  I dry hopped and waited. I took some gravity readings over the next couple days and the FG was right where it was supposed to be, but that krausen was just hanging around.  


I decided at this point (being impatient) that I was just going to keg it.

Here's the recipe:

Brewing A Bissell Bothers Substance Clone - The Product

Image
Bissell Brothers "The Substance" is the first IPA that really made me taste hops (more then just the bitterness in a West Coast style IPA) and is still one of my favorite beers of all time.  Luckily, the fact that I live near Portland,  Maine means that it is pretty easy for me to get a hold of. A couple weeks ago, I saw a reddit post on /r/homebrewing about beer recipes from each state and The Substance was one of the recipes .  While I couldn't get every ingredient, I made some substitutions and brewed up a batch during our most recent snowstorm. Here is the Beersmith BeerXML file if you are interested.  You'll note that this is not 100% dead on, but I think it should be close. I ended up buying most of the ingredients from MoreBeer. I ground all my grain using my Corona style mill pretty fine.  Since I BIAB (brew in a bag), I tend to crush things a bit finer since I feel it helps with my efficiency. Per Beer Smith, I heated the water to 158...

Broad Cove Irish Red

Image
Earlier this week, I picked up a mixed pack of beer from Harpoon.  One of the beers in it was the Craic, an Irish Red style IPA.  I really liked this beer and thought I would brew something similar since I had most of the ingredients on hand. The Craic is definitely not a traditional Irish Red and I was looking to brew something a little less hoppy, since I've already got an IPA on tap (My Bissell Brothers Clone, which I will be following up on shortly).  I wanted to make a more traditional red, so I set to work in BeerSmith and gave it a shot. This one was definitely easier then my last brew, with less ingredients. I chose East Kent Goldings, since I had a couple ounces on hand, but limited my hop additions to a First Wort Hop, a Whirlpool, and eventually a dry hop. I mashed in at 150 for 75 minutes. Weirdly enough, my preboil gravity was WAY higher then it should have been at 10 Brix (1.040 SG) even after I topped up the water preboil. I added the F...

Tasting : Broad Cove Irish Red

Image
Well, you win some, you lose some.  This beer came out OK.  It's drinkable, but feels thin.  Also, I think getting the color from the roasted barley was a mistake (or at least I used to much).  There is a distinct burnt taste.  Also, the hops don't really come through as I hoped they would. The color is not, bad, but it is not as clear as I would like for this one. On the plus side, it is an easy drinking beer.  It feels light and clean. I may or may not brew this again in the future.
