Odell IPA Clone start

Beer Recipe Design
#1

This is where I’m at on my research:

American Two-row Pale (consistent)
2 lb. Vienna (consistent)
1 lb. Carmel or Crystal 20L (consistent)
9-6 lbs. Pale Malt (consistent)
Carafoam and/or Caramalt (consistent)

(7-8 Hops Total Verified)

1 oz. Citra or Cascade
1 oz. Chinook (Boil Consistent)
1 oz. Simcoe ( finishing and dry hop consistent)
Horizon
Amarillo (Boil Consistent)
Centennial (Consistent)
Perle/Sorachi Ace (semi-consistent finishing)
Columbus (verified as dry hop)

German Ale Yeast (verified)

Ferments @ 67 F one week then 34 F (!?) for two weeks (according to Brooklyn Brew Shop Youtube vid interview/visit to brewery

#2

Let me know if you guys have tried or would try anything different. I’m researching the hops right now to see what suits the bittering vs. finishing/dry hopping stages. I’ll probably do the 6 lbs. pale malt as a DME, too.

#3

I wonder if Odell’s is really using all those hops that are in short supply right now - Citra, Simcoe, and Amarillo are very difficult to get at the big commercial level.

#4

I believe Zymurgy has the O’dell’s IPA recipe in the mag this month. I’ll check when I get home.

#5

10.25# 2 row
15.5oz caramel

:cheers: I was getting there. Thanks for that post. When you say hop back I am assuming that refers to the final 15-1 minutes of the boil?

#7

I believe it’s a system of infusing wort through a hop container?

#8

So if I just packed the hops into a tube and ran it through?

I believe it’s a little more complicated than that. I have no experience with this set up. But perhaps there’s a way to get the same depth of hops aroma by adding more at flame out???

#10

I can’t go all grain yet (getting ready to move so we’re trying to downsize our clutter (i.e. the lady of the house is extremely opposed to extra equipment)) so I was wondering if there were any extract substitutes that were acceptable for 2 row.

#11

I’ve used the attached link for conversions before with success. Replacing the 2 row with 6# light DME or 7# light LME I’d guess. Specialty grains would be steeped.

#12

Not to be thankless, because thank you, but I also found this fantastic “All Grain to Extract” conversion pdf link through a few searches.

http://home.roadrunner.com/~brewbeer/extract/pres.pdf

I hate to do that to you guys, but I usually post questions here and research simultaneously so I can compare and contrast the results. Through that, I’ve learned (painfully) to be patient, because the observations on this forum almost always course correct my pompous brewing the day after I needed to know it :shame: So much to learn…

#13

I also think I’ll be going for this partial mash approach http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-pa … ics-75231/ and since he anticipates about 60% efficiency I’m thinking I should up the grain bill for the crystal/vienna/honey malts. Yes?

#14

You ought to be able to achieve something closer to 80% efficiency with a typical BIAB approach that includes a dunk-sparge (what that guy is doing in the thread). Depending on the percentage of specialty grains you might need to add a little 2-row (along with the Vienna) to the mini-mash to get full conversion.

#15

Assuming I’ve done this before, of course. Which I haven’t. :smiley:

Edit: here’s the new line-up using what modest supplies we have 'round here.

#17

I woke up my gf from her nap I was laughing so hard. Thanks a lot, guy, haha.

Whaddaya think?

#19

Just opened my first bottle and poured it into a freezer chilled pint glass. The rest still need to spend a few days in the fridge (ideally a week, but I’m not ideally patient), but flavorwise this is a raging success. Thank you guys so much for all of your help. I’ll be modifying this recipe, no doubt, for years.

#20

Which German Ale yeast did you use?
Congrats on the success btw, looks like an excellent mixture of hops! Nice addition of vienna malt, should be enough to get a pretty nice flavor in the final product.

See that you went with the golden extract, I still squeeze in a quick week night extract batch from time to time.
NB Gold LME is my go to, just pale malt and carapils and attentuates like a champ.
