I live in Tokyo but my awesome cousin brought me a load of American hops. So I found a recipe for Pliny the Elder which I was going to make. But after reading about the Hopbursting on this board, I got really excited to try it myself. So I'm trying to make a Hopburst recipe, using the mostly bitter hops I have on hand.
I've just started a year ago. I'm still doing partial mash and not quite sure about the grains. I like an IPA to have a little body and balance so I tried to make it like Hop Ottin IPA or Hop Head or maybe 60 minute. A bit of color. Any advice is greatly appreciated. What do you think? Hopburst IPA Size: 5.5 gal Efficiency: 75.0% Attenuation: 75.0% Original Gravity: 1.068 Terminal Gravity: 1.017 Color: 10.87 Alcohol: 6.76% Bitterness: 97.2 Ingredients: 3500 g Dry Extra Light 400 g Munich Malt 300 g Crystal Malt 40°L 40 g Columbus (15.0%) - added during boil, boiled 20.0 min 40 g Chinook (13.0%) - added during boil, boiled 15.0 min 40 g Simcoe (13.0%) - added during boil, boiled 10.0 min 40 g Centennial (10.0%) - added during boil, boiled 1.0 min 40.0 g Simcoe (13.0%) - steeped after boil 1.0 ea White Labs WLP001 California Ale |

While the units are confusing at first, that recipe seems pretty good. For those still confused, 100 grams is about a quarter pound, and 40 grams is almost an ounce and a half. Funny how you still do volume in gallons...
10 SRM is still not a lot of color. You could easily boost the Crystal 40 by a few hundred grams if you wanted. Consult clone recipe books if needed to get a sense of what a certain color number actually looks like. I like the big 40 gram hop additions. You might consider converting that "steeped after boil" addition to a dry hop addition for true hoppiness. What could compliment hopburst better than dry hop? Hopbursting is great fun. |

I'm American but I have to order everything in grams in Japan so it gets a little messy going back and forth.. But yes it's basically 1.5oz each hop addition. Almost a pound of Munich and 2/3lbs. of the C40. Maybe I'll put that C40 up to a pound as well. This post has been edited by Jesseroo: Jan 30 2010, 01:33 AM |
