Stateside Torpedo IPA - A serious double boiled (due to being a bit tipsy) Hopped-to-F@#K American Pale Ale with the Malt Bill coming from a Mikkeller Stateside IPA and Most of the Hopping coming from a Sierra Nevada Torpedo clone... Yeahhh!! We Made Beer!!! Eventually ;)
Today was mainly about giving a brewing lesson to Rob....

Magnum 25 mins @ 40g
Crystal 15 mins @ 10g
Magnum 15 mins @ 5g
****At this point in the day we re-boiled for 15mins as we'd forgot the Protafloc Tablet, obviously caused by starting drinking at 11am (see photos)
Then decided to give it some more hops as the extra 15mins would have killed the Aroma

Centennial - 0 mins @ 28g

Mash Liquor: 13.6 Litres
Mash Efficiency: 80 %

90min Mash, 60min Boil then cool followed by a 15min boil then cool!!
Yeast - Safale US-05

Bit drunk, but an interesting brewday with Rob from http://www.hopzine.com :)
Cheers to Paul from http://www.BarleyBottom.com for the Last minute Crystal Hops :)

No Brewday pictures as we were busy nattering and drinking a fine selection of beers Rob brought :)

The Aftermath Pictures....
We had a few beers!:

Leftovers:

Mess:

Lots of hops!:

This mornings fine layer of head forming, sat at 18c so I've put it somewhere a little warmer now:


:)
 
:D
Fantastic... love those hops. That's going to be an excellent brew!

Who supplied the beer for drinking?
 
It was a mix of the bought bottles from Rob, and my own brews plus some of my Stout from a Cornie :)

The 'I Hardcore You' was bloody amazing! :)
 
That looked like a real in your face brew. However, as i tried your Amerillo Wheat beer last week I know that is how you like them. :cool:
 
:) Its just one style I like...
Worthy of an Experiment, I may add extra Dry Hopping than what I've stated in the recipe ;)
