Name Description Step Temperature Step Time
Saccharification Add 35.4 l of water at 70.2 C 66.1 C 60 min

Sparge: If steeping, remove grains, and prepare to boil wort

Notes:
------
It could use more hops of the same kind. Not dank like my previous few IPAs that used some Collumbus.
I wanted the yeast to shine, so mission accomplished.

I pitched about 330 billion cells. I pitched at 20C and let rise to 22C over a couple of days and held it there. 2-3 weeks in the fermenter. Cold crash, keg to about 2.1 volumes CO2.

It certainly doesn't taste like 120+ IPU. FWH and smooth. I hope you all enjoy it!

Edit: Note the bottling volume above, 17L. I was short due to hop loss so it might make sense to scale the recipe up a few litres if you have room in your fermenter.

Sounds delicious! Citrus/orange aroma?

[RubberToe]

Lots of grapefruit citrus. I really love Citra and Amarillo together and this yeast sets them off.

Yep!

Well today's the day for this one. I cracked one last weekend, purly for quality control... The keg I filled these from had lower pressure than my others which was part on purpose and part accident, I thought I had reconnected it. However my fill method is pretty decent so the carb held. You'll notice my bottles are filled very high so there won't be much of a sound when you open it.

There will be a lot of hop sludge settled to the bottom of the bottle, looking bottle conditioned but it's not. I hope all the bottles are decent and enjoyable.

I drank it last night. Tasted great.

[jeffsmith]

Really looking forward to this one.

What's the story about "Hyborian" Rob?

Is it because of the Conan?

[RubberToe]

Exactly. I'm not the best at naming suff, was poking around, found the term and went with it. Maybe not as cool sounding as Thulsa Doom.

[NASH]

That's right.

[Woody]

Rob I really enjoyed this beer. The yeast worked really well with the citrusy hops.

[GuingesRock]

Excellent (very), lovely, short on words today because I need to get on and spend some time with this beer.

Thanks Rob

Thanks!

[jacinthebox]

Im cracking this bad boy after neptune. ..cant wait

[Broob]

Lots of fruit flavour in this one. Wish I had a few more. Thanks

[mumblecrunch]

That's some delicious stuff right there. Wish I had another (but at 8.6% it's probably better that I don't).

[LiverDance]

Great beer Rob, nice and dry and you are right, I wouldn't have guessed 120 IBU's. FWH really smooths that out.

[jeffsmith]

Just what I was hoping for, an amped up version of the IPA I had from you quite a few months back. Nice and dry, great hop flavour, great aroma. You can tell it's a big beer but the bitterness is smooth and alcohol hidden well.

[dexter]

I wish cobalt hadn't got this one!

[gm-]

Great beer, can't believe it was 8%+, very smooth

[RubberToe]

Thanks a lot, everyone! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Nice and dry, great hop flavour, great aroma. You can tell it's a big beer but the bitterness is smooth and alcohol hidden well.

Well put.

Where does one get Conan yeast around these parts?
