Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling {{CalculateBoilVolumeDisplay}} gallonsliters at {{CalculatePreBoilGravityDisplay}} for {{CalculateBoilTimeDisplay}} minutes, this will decrease your wort by {{CalculateBoilLoss}} gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to {{CalculateFinalGravityFromPreBoilGravity}}.

You were planning on an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}} so you are right on track. Nice job! You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be over. You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (4)

Notes:

Suicide notes - color is the same as others with lots of foam, 3 fingers. Aroma is sweet tropical fruits like pineapple and papaya with a little maltiness. Flavor leads with a dank hop flavor followed by bready/toffee flavor and then ending with a definite bitterness that is more than expected. Body is fairly soft with only a little nucleation sharpness. There's some real hop complexity to this beer with solid malt flavor. The intrigue of this beer is enough that I really enjoy it. 4 stars for the intrigue.

Notes:

431 hop - pours dark orange with 2 fingers foam. Aroma is bready along with a tropical fruit nose, like a spicy papaya. Taste follows the nose and then an element of estery yeast comes in. Soft body to this one and a bit of nucleation sharpness. Nothing remarkable on this one, just a solid pale ale. I wouldn't be upset if I ordered this beer but I wouldn't order another. I'll go with 3 stars on this one.

Notes:

Tahoma and Genghis hop mix - Color is a darker orange and pours 1 finger of foam. Aroma is lemon and melon. Flavor follows the nose but is more intense of a candy lemon and has a malt flavor of toffee and caramel flavors that blends in flavor with the hops. The breath of this beer is a mild lemon pine-sol flavor, which is nice. Carbonation is good yet the mouth feel is very soft. This is too malty for what I was trying to achieve, yet I do like it. This would be a great base for a maltier sort of beer, but the way that I introduced the late stage hopping wasn't effective enough to make it an IPA. Overall, the bottle hopping wasn't so effective, so I will say 3 stars.

Notes:

682 hop - dark orange and pours 2 fingers of foam that persists. Aroma is tropical fruit, a little bit of dank hop, sweet malts, and a yeasty breadiness. Flavor is a bitter lemon and maybe some green apple with a strong bitterness that lingers and builds somewhat. The malt flavor on this is not noticeable. The mouth feel is a bit sharp, giving it a crisp edge. I quite like this one but find the bitterness just short of overwhelming. I'd like to use the 682 hop again. 4 out of 5 as this one is pretty enjoyable.
