Robert Pretty Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 @Dustin Frothman, putting this one in next. It says to use 2x H2 (Centennial) liquid hops. Thinking of just using 25g of dry Centennial instead. With 25g of Citra, Magnum and Crystal, like you did. What do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 @Dustin Frothman, dam I hate your kegernator. 😊. Crystal and magnum hops have showed up now. This is next in. I know you rated this higher than the Pirate Life IPA clone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kegerator looks like my whole life's goal, beer on tap but not just any beer, but beer brewed to your own personal taste. Nirvana!

Sorry, I’m not actually bragging it’s just that the beer poured so well it would’ve been a shame to shift it to take a photo. Youll love his beer @Robert PrettyI think it’s my favourite custom Brewprint now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, I’m still well employed and have fantastic beer so I’m not complaining! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Put this down the other day. Got some good fermentation going on. Already had a little spew out the vent. Going to DH with 25g each of Magnum, Crystal, Citra and Centennial. Keen to try this after @Dustin Frothman review. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Kegged and bottled this today. Dam it tasted good straight from the droid. Put the Cricketers Arms Pale Ale in. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hey Dusty, did you reckon 25g of each of those was enough? I've got the SN Torpedo in the droid at the moment... tempted to go 50 of each... could be a tad overboard... happy to hear your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do go with 50g of each please let us know how it turns out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This with the Pirate Life IPA are my favorites. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Excellent, @Robert Prettywill 100% stick to advice given. I've overhopped beer before (came out soapy and undrinkable at 250g/droid), and with the Big IPA's have found the sweet spot to be a total Dry Hop amount to be between 150-175g per droid for the real hop hit that compares to the crafts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Dalton Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hey all, I will be putting this one in the droid tonight. I would just like to confirm that I run the ale program, and just put in the hops for a couple of days at the EOF, then keg it. I don't need to cold crash it. Is this the correct way to brew this one? Thanks in advance. Cheers! Anthony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do a custom setting and just tick the DH button at bottom. You always need to cold crush when you DH. It helps the DH sediment fall to the bottom, which leads to clearer beer Edited September 8, 2022 by Robert Pretty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! @Anthony Dalton you can edit the name in the brew program from Mountain Range IPA to Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA. This is my favorite of all the Brewart beers I have brewed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Dalton Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Thanks Robert, I have just started the brew. Looking forward to sampling it later in the year. I am a huge fan of the Rapid River Ale as well as the Hazy IPA; if it is on the same level as those I will be well pleased. Cheers!

Anthony Dalton Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hey All, I am back from India. I went to a couple of micro breweries while in Delhi. They are very much in their embryonic stages it seems, they are very keen on emulating European Lagers. A couple of alright drops there, nothing particularly outstanding. I have been back a couple of days and with bated breath cracked my first keg of the Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA this morning, after 11 weeks conditioning. I am completely blown away by how good it is. This is one of the few brews I have done that actually maintains its head in a pint glass from first sip until last. A myriad of flavours dominated by the heavy dosage of dry hops. This is a smooth drop that has easily elevated itself into one of my top two brews. Cheers! Anthony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Dalton Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hey all, Cracked my second keg of the Sierra Nevada Torpedo, an hour ago, after a little over 22 weeks secondary conditioning. Still a fantastic drop, however I reckon it was better after 11 weeks. Without question I will be brewing this again, so good to know I won’t be selling myself short by drinking it within three months of kegging. Cheers!

Anthony I find the ales are really good in that 8-12 week range (XPA excluded, I reckon that drinks best in the 4-8 weeks range) and whilst I have lets some go to the 5-6 month mark, whilst they are still more than acceptable, I don't think they are quite as nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
