Shorts Soft Parade Clone Recipe Kits on Sale – Extract & All Grain

AIH has developed a clone for Soft Parade, The rye based recipe features flavors from four varieties of berries. It includes fruit puree, malt extract, specialty grains and hops. The beer comes in at about 8% ABV.

Guest Post: A Galaxy of Hops – Galaxy Hopped IPA

Many thanks to Wes via Great Fermentations for this special Guest Post! Read more about Wes below.

This month, our focus is going to be on a hop variety from the South Pacific. Even though there are a handful of hop varietals from down under and beyond, one of these has risen above others: Galaxy! Known for the fruity flavors and aromas it imparts to beer, Galaxy is a hop that you may or may not have used, but one you have most likely heard about!

Juno Choi’s Patagonia IPA + Finding Patagonia Malts

Juno Choi With a PIle of Hops

One of the homebrews that stood out to me while attending a past Homebrewer’s Conference, homebrewcon in Grand Rapids, Michigan was an IPA that was served by Brewer’s Supply Group (BSG) at their booth at the Conference. It was… delicious. Roasty, great hop character and easy to drink. I swung by for two samples and shortly returned… for a third and it was gone. After the conference, I got a hold of BSG to ask about the beer. I learned that it was formulated and brewed by Juno Choi. Juno kindly shared the recipe with me and I’d like to share it with you. Thank you Juno!

The recipe features 100% Patagonia Malts from Chile. Those were new to me and I think relatively new to the homebrew market here in the US, because… I had a very difficult time sourcing the grain for this recipe. After looking around a bit, I contacted Bryan at Great Fermentations. They already carried Patagonia, just not not all three varieties that this recipe calls for. Bryan kindly sourced the remaining grains and has stocked them at Great Fermentations. Thank you Bryan!

Other recipes are out there include Northern Brewer’s Plinian Legacy attempt at cloning this beer. I’ve tried that recipe and it makes a great beer, although I know of no other homebrew recipe that claims direct collaboration with Vinny like MoreBeer’s does. MoreBeer’s Pliny the Elder Kit is one of the best beers that has ever come out of my homebrewery. I can highly recommend it to you.

Russian River Blind Pig Double IPA Extract Kit from MoreBeer – $33.99

Russian River’s Blind Pig IPA Recipe Kit from MoreBeer. Also: Pliny the Elder Recipe Kits || Brewing Pliny

Product Description – Here. Use coupon code BEERDEAL to get this discount.

About: “The original Double IPA! Vinnie Cilurzo began homebrewing in 1989 while in college. In 1994 Vinnie started the Blind Pig Brewing Company in Temecula, CA, a small, low-budget mico-brewery known for their extremely hoppy IPA – an IPA which won silver medals at both the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. Vinnie sold his share in Blind Pig and was hired to manage and brew at the Russian River Brewing Company, a start-up brewery by Korbel Champagne in Guerneville, CA. In late 2002 Korbel decided to get out of the beer business and sold the Russian River name and brand to Vinnie who is moving the brewery to Santa Rosa, CA, 90 miles North of San Francisco, where he and his wife Natalie are opening a brew-pub which will serve homemade pizza and, of course, all of the Russian River Ales. Vinnie has won 10 awards at the Great American Beer Festival in the past six years and was named Small Brewing Company Brewmaster of the Year in 1999. Almost every beer that Vinnie makes commercially started out as a homebrew recipe at one point or another. Even as a professional brewer, Vinnie still homebrews at least 5 or 6 times a year.

This is the original homebrew recipe that was the basis for Blind Pig IPA which won Silver Medals at the World Cup of Beer and the Great American Beer Festival in 1996, the last year Vinnie brewed it. Two ‘dry hop’ additions along with 1 oz of American Oak are added directly to the fermenter after the first week of fermentation. To say it is a very unique, extremely flavorful IPA is an understatement. Vinnie recommends using White Labs California yeast, WLP001.” (keep reading)

Brewing “1 Hour” IPA – from grain to glass

Great Fermentations has a number of great Recipe Kit Offerings. Included in the bunch is their continuously hopped “1 Hour IPA”. I was excited to see that as I am a huge fan of Dogfish Head’s 60 Minute IPA and generally cannot get that beer where I live. The recipe features Simpsons Crystal Malt, Carapils, Amber Malt and Warrior, Amarillo and Simcoe Hops. It’s available in both all grain and extract versions. Here’s a overview of the beer from grain to glass.

Taking the temperature of the recently crushed malt bill.

I brewed this beer BIAB style. Here’s a look at the mash.

Stirring to get everything mixed up well.

The mash is settling in at around 152 deg F.

Here we are at the end of the mash. If you take a look at the thermometer on my BoilerMaker G1 kettle (GF has a great deal on some slight cosmetic damage G1s right now) you’ll notice I’m up in the 170 deg F range doing a direct fired mash out. That’s one of the dandy parts about BIAB. Easy step mashes and mash outs.

Hey that’s wort!!

This recipe features 5 total kettle hop editions. A 60 minute Warrior bittering addition starts it off followed by 4 Amarillo/Simcoe blend additions. Those start at 15 minutes and happen every 5 minutes up until and including knock out. There is one dry hop addition of the hop blend.

After an early hop addition

After a late hop addition

It’s kegging time. Beautiful clear beer going into one of my kegs.

The finished product. Of course, in a Spiegelau IPA Glass.

I wish that I could have done a side by side comparison of 60 minute vs 1 hour. I did some searching, even out of state, and didn’t come up with any.

This beer, much like 60 minute, is a tasty and drinkable IPA. IBU and alcohol-wise it’s on the lighter end of the scale for current push-the-limit American IPAs (that I also enjoy). The keg went quickly, I almost did not get the finished in-the-glass picture at the end. I think this was the second to last pint. I enjoyed it very much and the speed at which the keg was depleted is a testament to that.

The taste that I walk away with, from 60 minute, more than hops is the great nutty, roasty flavor of the British Amber Malts. I do get that in 1 Hr IPA. As I said, I like that flavor, so, next time I would add another quarter lb or so. Not that this beer needs it to be more like 60 minute. It’s been a while since I’ve had one of those, so I can’t tell you that for certain. I just like the flavors that that malt adds.
