He thought the aroma had been "nailed" and the flavor was a very good match.
#Beersmith golden promise update
Update : A family member who is very familiar with the real beer (and had in fact just finished drinking one) was given a sample of the clone. I'm expecting to bottle it this Saturday. There was a significant hop aroma when I opened the fermenter to put the finings in, so the dry hops are doing their job. I mixed up some gelatin finings and dropped those in, noting that there is no longer a krausen or any yeast visible on top of the beer now - another indication that fermentation is over. Since the real Truth is a bright beer, I wanted my clone to look just like it. Update : The beer has completed primary fermentation and has spent an additional 7 days with dry hops in the fermenter. When the other beer is past the high stage of fermentation, I'll transfer the chiller to this beer to keep fermentation temps in check. My temperature control system was busy handling a BJ's Millennium Ale clone brewing in another fermenter, so I let the beer sit at ambient basement temps (approximately 69F this time of year) to ferment. The notes say to do a hop stand of 45 minutes with the heat off and without any cooling, so that's what I did. The final addition is a mix of hops in specific volumes.I used the same technique as above to calculate the amounts. The 10 minute addition is 16 IBUs worth of a 2:1 mix of Centennial and Simcoe.Then I adjusted the amounts of the additions such that it contributed 20 IBUs and was a 2:1 ratio of the two types of hops. I found that the best way to calculate this in BeerSmith was to create a throwaway recipe with 13.44 pounds of grain and put a 20-minute hops addition of Centennial and Simcoe into it. The 20 minute addition is 20 IBUs worth of a 2:1 mix of Centennial and Simcoe.
The bittering addition is 30 IBUs worth of Bravo hops.It's important to note when formulating this recipe that if you want to get the hops balance the same as Rhinegeist's, you'll need to know the following about how they blend the hops: Bitterness: 63.3 IBUs (the actual beer is 75).Per BeerSmith and my equipment profile, this beer has the following characteristics: Simcoe 13.0% AA - dry hop 7 daysġ package White Labs California Ale Yeast 0.65 ounces of Bravo 16.2% AA - 60 minutesĠ.35 ounces of Simcoe 13.6% AA - 20 minutesĠ.70 ounces of Centennial 10.4% AA - 20 minutesĠ.90 oz.
