The Homebrew Hammer

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Well, I got some good news this morning!
Two years ago I used a DFH 90m IPA clone recipe to brew a beer that came out more like DFH Burton Baton. After two years in the bottle, it was probably more like a barleywine than a DIPA but I thought the ABV was a bit off. I decided to enter it in this year's Dominion Cup (a pretty sizeable homebrew competition in Virginia that draws entries from all over.) The results came out today and Asylum Imperial IPA placed second in the "IIPA, Barleywines, Old Ales" category! http://dominioncup.jrhb.org/DomCupWinners2010.php   Should be getting the score sheets back this week, will be interested to see the judges' notes!

 Brewed 10 gallons of Oktoberfest on Sunday, 5 gal regular and 5 gal with pumpkin (canned and baked) and spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg) for a fall/halloween/thanksgiving Pumpkin Beer. This is my second batch of Oktoberfest this year for our Oktoberfest party at the end of October (figure this batch will be done at the end of the month, and then two months of lagering will be fine). The first one I brewed towards the end of April is awesome, and still a lot left for the party.

 The principle judge on the panel for my beer was BJCP Master qualified and a professional brewer--which makes me  his comments.He loved it, scoring 46/50! On flavor he said: "Great hop character, suspect burst hopping (which I did ) nice 'juicy' hop flavor. Good malt backbone, tail is hop flavor but not overly bitter, slight smoke note." His overall impression was "Awesome IPA, great hop profile, commercial quality brew, similar to Hopslam!" I'd be happy to share the recipe (partial mash) if anyone wants to try it out. Gerard

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Love to hear the recipe Gerard
going to be brewing a pale ale twice tomorrow. One batch with the chinook another with the magnums. Have some Mt. Hoods from a pal I will use at the end of the boil. Trying to get a feel for what the different hop types add to the brew. |

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Just ordered 4.5 lbs of hops last week, not all for one batch (obviously?
 ), but I'm definitely brewing an IPA and a IIPA. I like mostly late hop additions, more of the aroma and flavor versus bitterness. I also like seeing/tasting the evolution of the beer as the hop flavor/aroma fade over the weeks.
