dcm Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I'd like to try the Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA clone on Shem's cheat sheet: Seirra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA 2 x E1, 2 x E2, 3 x E5, 2 x H2, Y1, DH 9-12 Days Ale $118.00 $35.50 $82.50 DH: Magnum 15gm, Crystal 15gm, Citra 15gm I've got the Brewart bits but yet to source the dry hops. Does anybody have any idea about temperatures & dry hopping timing for this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could wait to EOF and leave 24/48hrs. Be prepared for strong fermentation activity therefore probable overflow. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcm Posted April 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Sweet... Cold crash it at EOF? It's a lot of hops but I've got a nice stainless steel hop cage just made for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers No, don’t cold crash at EOF as this will minimise the effect of the hops, leave in the storage mode, you will have up to 48hrs before it automatically goes to cold storage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Nobili Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Gday gents, Is there a way i can buy these ingredients from a brew shop in larger quantities for multiple brews? If so could someone give me an idea of what the inredients could be in other brands. Like to see if i could go to Daves Homebrew and elimenate shipping and see if price could be cheaper. 2 sets of ingredients with shipping $90 not including dry hops. Thanks.

Hi Lenny and welcome to your first post. You can certainly by ingredients in both kit form or as an all grain brew. Recipes vary so to be honest you would be best going to your local brew shop (Dave’s Homebrew) and discuss the recipe with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Keen to hear your thoughts on this one Dustin. How much are you hopping this with. Bottling the Birra today and replacing with the Lighthouse Pacific Ale which I'm hopping with 25g of Ella and Engima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spreadsheet says 15g each of Magnum, Crystal and Citra and then 2 x H2 at bottling or kegging. It doesn't seem enough really. Perhaps 25g of each pellet hop and then the hop oils. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree I’m regularly adding total hops of 50-150g and have only been disappointed once when I overdid it with 200g of a mad mix of hops. haven’t yet tried both extract and DH. Curious to know peoples results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All permutations possible. honestly I really like the BrewArt dry ingredients in terms of ease and convenience and swappability (word?). I find the syrups a bit tricky to split and more of a hassle. i do buy locally sourced hops as I like to mix and match varieties and find I’m adding double and sometimes 4x the hops provided in the brew prints. The results have been akin to Some of the premium craft beers on the market. I have also concluded that the prints are very carefully designed and really hard to beat. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Dry hopped this one yesterday. 25g each of Citra, Magnum and Crystal. I think Crystal could be a new favourite. If it tastes as good as it smells then I'll be ordering some from my "dealer". 😍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Kegged this one today after 19 days total. Smelled great. I'm looking forward to this. As per the recipe I added 1 x H1 pouch to each of the kegs. The Dry Hop program was complete in just over 10 days. I added the my usual 48 hours at 18 degrees for foam mitigation but got busy with work and a few things other things so left it to sit in storage for a while. I also tried the Bouncer insert for the first time in the Brewart Dry Hop Filter assembly. I chose the second finest grade filter (blue colour) which is a slightly finer gauge to the supplied insert. It worked perfectly and didn't clog at all. Of course the extra time in storage would've helped to clear up the beer too. I'll report back after this has completed 6 weeks in secondary. I'm not ready to put another brew on tonight so decided to give the Droid a good soak with a Brewart Droid Cleanse tablet that I had amongst my supplies. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Taster bottle at 25 days secondary. The bottles don’t have the H2 liquid hops in them but this is still exceptional. 10/10 Edited October 9, 2021 by Dustin Frothman 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hey Dustin How does it compare to the pirate life IPA clone? Finished my 10 week second keg over the weekend. I was thinking it was the best IPA I had brewed. Thinking I might have to get this on my next order. Be kegging the Coopers Australian IPA with 50g of Athanum and Strata on the weekend.

It's been a little while since I've brewed that one. I think though it's probably a little danker with the addition of the Crystal hops. I've got the ingredients ready to do another of these as well as the Pirate Life IPA clone so perhaps I can give you a side by side comparison next time.

Dustin Frothman Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 @Robert PrettyI put the Pirate Life IPA clone in the other Droid today so both of these will be ready around the same time and I should be able to give you a reasonably objective side-by-side comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Dry hopped today on day 5 - 25g each of Citra, Magnum and Crystal. This one will be going in a stainless steel keg so I'm looking forward to seeing what if any difference there is when it comes time to enjoy it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazza_wantsbeer Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 @Dustin Frothman will be following this with great interest as well. Side by side comparison between these two beers, cannot wait to get your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Taster bottle at 22 days conditioning (I need to start using that term instead of secondary!). It's dark out now so the artificial light makes it appear a little dark but the colour is spot on again. It's nice but a bit green so I probably won't tap the keg for another 2 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
