Averagely Perfect NorthEast IPA - Poll #35 - Change Hop Schedule?

I think it would be awesome/informative if people explain their reasoning behind their vote.

 

It seems to me people who want this change want to make the beer more galaxy focused. I personally think it will could also lead to more perceived bitterness -- even though ibus can be measured from late hop additions, the beers that I have made that skip a 60 min addition seem less bitter to me, despite high calculated ibus from the late additions and whirlpool.

Anyhow, I don't care how folks vote, but I will be brewing something like this this coming weekend. I don't have magnum on hand, so may need to make an adjustment -- either Citra or Challenger at the 60 min mark -- if the vote goes this way.

 

I voted for the change because I believe it will lead to a more balanced contribution among the thee types of finishing hops. Cheers!

 

I have a snarky comment about voting for change but I will leave it alone since I would most likely get banned.

Miss me yet?

 

I'm fine with the beer being Citra forward, so I voted "no." I'm also not too worried about the price either, as PortLargo mentioned in that thread (or somebody else who agreed with him), since I have most all of those hops in my freezer at the moment just waiting to go into a beer haha.

 

Same
Yakima Valley is having a sale on 2015 hops. Worth placing an order. Just got the email today.

 

I voted yes, but not for the sake of change..

I like a bit more bitterness in my IPA's so the 60min add suits my taste and I'm curious about the galaxy. This is my first time using this hop. (actually my second but that batch is still conditioning)

I also plan to brew this this weekend, so now I'm torn... do I brew the crowd recipe or the adjusted one? I have until Saturday to figure it out.

Anyone else planning on brewing this soon? And perhaps a trade when finished?

 

You should start a poll. I say the crowd one, as I like Citra.
I'm on batch 3 of at least a portion of this recipe. Mostly the grain, but I did change the 2 row to Golden Promise 1 time and added accidulated malt to adjust the PH.
Currently drinking the same grain with Columbus, Citra, Galaxy. I'll probably brew this exact beer to end the summer. Then I'll put the keg next my lawn chair at the pool and crush it...

 

Well, at least in theory, the different recipes should have the same bitterness since they're targeting the same IBUs. But I'd also like to try this with a big 60 min addition, maybe a hopshot as in some Heady Topper recipes I've seen.

I'm hoping to brew this as is in a couple weeks. Just picked up the hops, hopefully the LHBS will have the yeast in stock by then.

 

@VikeMan Thanks for doing another one of these. I can't wait to see how this turns out

 

I have this on the brew schedule 8-7-16. I've been stock piling ingredients as they have been voted on.

 

Yeah, garlands for the man from the Land of Norse . . . and also to @wspscott, for forwarding to the next link (34 times) . . .

 

Edit: have to move brew day. I'll be brewing this next weekend now.

 

I'm brewing this on Monday...let me know if you, or anyone, want to trade a couple of bottles!

 

just curious I have no experience with 1318 how many packets are you pitching?

 

Depends if you use a starter. I'd look up a yeast pitch rate calculator. Usually 1 packet contains only 100B cells and you need around 220B. This can be done by creating a starter a few days prior.
I'm using 1 packet with a starter.
