Paul84 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yeah should work out . The hop profile of the Punk IPA on Shems was extensive . But the hops were similar profile to what I have. Couldnt go all the way to 100gr , maybe next time haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Sorry @Paul84, I missed this as well, I'd have advised you to just put all the hops you had in.

Live dangerously, reap the rewards Yeah i just used what I had which i dont think was a bad combo . Both Cascade and Galaxy have the fruit hoppy notes and the challenger has the slight spicyness behind them ( hopefully 🤣🤣🤣) . Gonna do a hop order shortly though for a few new hops to try 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I got some from Brewart , still as per recipes. But i might buy some hope equivalents and add to suit . See how I feel haha, might also work out what i actually ordered and do as Rob did make a few different combos with what i have on hand, even if Inhave to sort a few new yeasts as well 🙂 , gotta do the Cricketers Arms you put together @Barrelboy too 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. Just look up “hop pellets“ on eBay, despatch from Melb, good supplier and price. I order ingredients to match my top 10 and what I’ve brewed if I want to do again then add some extra E’s, X’s, Y’s so I can experiment and/or do other recipes. By just ordering a couple of each I’ve actually built up a small stock of goodies. oh yes the Cricketers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Yeah i need to go through and see what I wanna hop . I have kegged the PHunk IPA today . Even the brew on Primary Fermentation has got some kick . Will leave it 4 weeks until a sample , has a hop kick at this stage and will see how that goes 😁 , was always going to be a punchy beer. Now @Barrelboy , what was your rule of thumb for ingredients to alcohol content . Really need to buy a Hydrometer( but i dont drink and drive so doesnt fuss me if all my beers are high ABV lol ) P.S. - loving the profile pic mate . Ill add one 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 @Paul84 how did this one turn out? The Punk IPA is a great beer. My wife is from the region of Scotland where Brewdog started out and I've been lucky enough to visit their original brewpub there and work my way through their lineup. I'm still yet to visit their new brewery in here in Brisbane but it's on the list once the COVID stuff settles down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 To be honest mate it was wicked. I didnt follow the hop profile on the shemsheet ( as i didnt have those hops) but i did add what i wanted and a decent amount so it was punchy to say the best. Still have a couple and now they are a few weeks older keen to try another 🙂 . Given me the confidence to push the dry hopping atm. And i have given the Brewdog stuff a good run when i go over there as well . I&G is a good brew company too 🤘 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I bought some Gage Road Loop the Lupe and i would say they had some similarities to them which filled me full on confidence in brewing 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I&G is a good brew company too 🤘 Here’s a pleasant shock for you:- Dan Murphy’s is selling a slab of 24 x 330ml for $81.99 ($3.41 a can). Now converting that to 375ml = 21 cans therefore = $3.90 a can. As you get the equivalent of 26 x 375ml from the droid 10l = $101.40 of value. Deduct the recipe costs and your so far in front it’s not funny.👍👍👍👌 Edited June 16, 2020 by Barrelboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely try to get hold of all the hops as per the spreadsheet. I agree, Innis & Gunn are a great Scottish brewery too and easily found at pubs in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Not so much up in Aberdeen where the wife is from. We're big fans of Tempest from Scotland too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Yeah i will do this again and follow the shemsheet closer. However the fact it wasnt really a true "clone" and a very much custom hop profile to me i couldnt be disappointed with it tasting different to the original brew. I head to Perth next week so will be heading to one of these fabled brewshop you city slickers talk about 😂 . Glad i have 20kg luggage allowance lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad i have 20kg luggage allowance lol Work out what hops you want, buy bulk with those you’d use most. See if you can set up a reliable courier service with the shop and inform others up your way may be interested in a bulk order as well if the service was good? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Yeah i will have a yarn to them when i go in . There are a few guys i know who do grain brewing so was gonna word them up to make a coalition and just buy sacks of the popular grain lol ( thats the costly stuff) . Hops are cheap and easy to get . And to your comment above you 100% correct with the cost vs reward. Punk IPA is a great beer and very sessionable , but the PHunk IPA was just as enjoyable and sessionable and cost maybe 30 dollars once i had hops and everything in to it . And that generous in assumption. I spent 93 dollars on 12 beers last weekend which is 5 brewprints of the 17 dollar brews and i think i can make equvilent beers ( the laced RIS and the PHunk IPA to compare with those below) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
