Excellent details in video. I just completed this one as my first IPA and have a feeling I will be making another batch soon. That DIY hop spider was a hit for sure. Thanks for sharing your talent !!
The Verdant IPA yeast is supposed to originally be London Ale 3 together with wild yeasts that have been added when Verdant reused the yeast for several batches...
Man I bet it’s humid there too!!! It’s 108 where I’m at but no humidity and I brewed a….stout 😂 just sounded good I guess, I’ll have to give this recipe a try, sounds great, cheers 🍻
Great video, the beer looks lovely. Verdant yeast is from one of the best breweries in the UK, Verdant in Cornwall England, their beers are always top quality if you ever get the chance to try one :)
Yes! Verdant Yeast is a Beast of a Yeast, also it is one of the best Lallemand Yeasts for Bio Transformation as they described in their website, so it supposed to work amazing with thiols coming from Mash Hopping
It will be in there for about two full weeks. The first week when fermentation is actively happening in the second week to condition and cold crash before I keg. For Whirlpool, I start cooling my beer with the immersion chiller and then stop it at 180°, Add the Whirlpool hops and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then I resume cooling as normal down to pitching temps. That's my version of a Whirlpool without a pump.
Thanks for this recipe and related video. Just made it today and so bummed. Dry hops pulled away from the exterior magnets and fell in some time within the first two hours of being in the fermentation chamber. Any suggestions? Figure I just ride it out and see what we get....
Don't worry about it at all. Because of the temperatures.. and the yeast doing its thing shortly... I bet you won't see much of a difference ! Relax and have a homebrew! Let me know how it turns out! 🍻
I suppose this had turned out to be less bittery to no ? I'm sorry I am new to home brewing, and what I've learned so far is that 60 mins additions cause bitterness and 5 minutes addition gives hops aromas and flavour. Please explain. Thanks.
That is correct. Hops have alpha acids, usually listed on the label. The more alpha acids, the more bitterness they can give to the beer. The earlier you put in the hops the more bitterness you will get, which is called IBU's. New England IPAs (hazy IPAs) Have a very low IBU because most of the hops are added very late or even at flame out during the boil process. Then they are usually heavily dry hopped during fermentation. The dry hops are what give it the juicy citrus/mango flavors. 🍻
