Doing a quick little IPA Experiment to boost my supply for July, and to help myself (still a novice brewer) taste the specific difference between some finishing hops. Used a simply base (9# light LME, 1#Crystal 40, 1/2# Carapils), and then the following hop schedule. 3oz Sterling 60mins 1oz Cascade/Hallertau 15mins 1oz Cascade/Hallertau 5mins 1oz Cascade/Hallertau Dryhopped in secondary used Coopers Ale Yeast, rehydrated. All Temperatures and length of time in primary and secondary were kept the same. Should be a marked difference in tastes! Will be bottling in another week, so I'll have results in early July on the taste! Using the yeast cake from these two to drive 2 batches of a simple (and cheap) summer cider (10cans of concentrate, 2# dark turbinado sugar). Cheap, refreshing, quick to make, and my drunk friends will think it's amazing. Doesn't hurt that the ladies always like it too  Happy Brewing! Nick |
