Brewing a Falconer’s Flight IPA… With Joe! (And maybe some bloopers at the end…)

July 10, 2012
By

Immolateus was kind enough to send me some Falconer’s Flight hops, and I wanted an IPA–so that’s exactly what I made! Here’s the recipe I brewed in this video: 12lbs Two-Row 1lb Crystal 40L 1oz Torrified Wheat Mashed for 1 hour 15 minutes at 152-154F 1.5oz Chinook Hops boiled for 60 minutes 1 oz Falconer’s Flight Hops boiled for 15 minutes 1 oz Falconer’s Flight Hops boiled for 5 minutes Nottingham Yeast pitched at 74F, fermented for 2 weeks at 68-70F Aged for… who knows! :-) Batch size: 5 US Gallons Starting Gravity: 1.071 Thanks again for sending all those hops my way Immo–I can’t wait to give this a taste!

    Absolutely? my friend! :)

  9. terpsichoreankid on July 10, 2012 at 1:41 pm

    It is–every batch? has something new you can learn!

    Good video! Thank you for sharing. I just made? my first home brew (malt extract – double IPA) and while watching your video I had an “oh da” moment. I used a strainer to get my wort into my fermenter, however, before doing so, to aerate I tranferred my wort back-and-forth twice between my kettle and my fermenter not thinking I should first strain my wort and then do it. So, as you can imagine, my strainer gummed up with hop resin and other trub like stuff. Oh well, it is a learning process.

    Depends on the recipe really, but you can always go by the basic 1.25 quarts per pound of? grain for your mash, and 1/2 gallon per pound of grain for sparge.

  12. TheLimon96 on July 10, 2012 at 2:47 pm

    How much strike and? sparge water do you use

  13. Adol666 on July 10, 2012 at 3:01 pm

    Opps thats mesh not? mess :)

  14. Adol666 on July 10, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    HAHA Its really funny you mention that. I got two of those reusable ones and used one of em? on my last brew. They are insane. Its a super fine mess so nothing gets in your boil. They hold alot of wort after you pull em out though. The only issue I had with it was alot of little hop pieces get into the stiching on the sides so I think next time I will turn it inside out

  15. terpsichoreankid on July 10, 2012 at 3:46 pm

    :-D It turned out awesomely! I wish I still had? it!

  16. terpsichoreankid on July 10, 2012 at 4:42 pm

    I have not–but have heard they work great! Also those nylon drawstring hop bags seem to work? really well too–and are reusable!

  17. terpsichoreankid on July 10, 2012 at 5:39 pm

    That does? the trick as well!

  18. ledzeppelin992 on July 10, 2012 at 5:53 pm

    “Look at how big this fuckin’ snail has gotten!” Best part of? the video :p Hope the beer turned out good man :)

  19. Adol666 on July 10, 2012 at 6:00 pm

    Joe have you ever tryed using those cheap(.30 -.40? cent) muslin socks to put your hops in? I find they keep alot of hop material out of your kettle. Still need to strain but not anywhere near as much hop material. Cheers!

  20. zatoichi37 on July 10, 2012 at 6:23 pm

    hey bro, use vodka or some other cheap alcohol for the airlock? instead next time

  21. terpsichoreankid on July 10, 2012 at 7:06 pm

    153F.? It’s chilling in the north! I talk about the temp at 10:50 or so.

  22. tapsfromscratch on July 10, 2012 at 7:17 pm

    Great video! Try pouring water on top of grains to eliminate dough balls. What was your mash temp after initial strike btw? 171 seems a little high for strike water. We? use 162 in hot Florida.

  23. terpsichoreankid on July 10, 2012 at 7:25 pm

    You can pitch the yeast higher, it’s just not recommended (they will produce weird off flavors). I’m not quite sure why the yeast manufacturers recommend the 90 or under mark–I would rehydrate cooler just to be on the safe side. You don’t want it to be too hot or too cool–either way will be detrimental. Hell–that’s half the reason why I just pitch? the packet right into the wort! LOL

  24. terpsichoreankid on July 10, 2012 at 7:57 pm

    :-D ?

  25. jamesdizzle420 on July 10, 2012 at 8:56 pm

    how si that you think you have to pitch the yeast cool so they dont die but you can rehydrate them at 90???
