By request, "Frank as Apollo" which won Thornbridge GBHBC 2011 (adapted to 25 litres)
Fermentable Colour lb: oz Grams Ratio
Pale Malt 5 EBC 9 lbs. 5.3 oz 4230 grams 85%
Munich Malt 20 EBC 1 lbs. 1.6 oz 495 grams 10%
Caramunich II 124 EBC 0 lbs. 8.7 oz 245 grams 5%


Hop Variety Type Alpha Time lb: oz grams Ratio
Simcoe Whole 12.7 % 90 mins 0 lbs. 0.5 oz 13 grams 10.8%
Simcoe Whole 12.7 % 15 mins 0 lbs. 0.7 oz 20 grams 16.2%
Apollo Whole 19.5 % 15 mins 0 lbs. 0.7 oz 20 grams 16.2%
Apollo Whole 19.5 % 0 mins 0 lbs. 1.6 oz 46 grams 37.8%
Columbus (Tomahawk) Whole 15 % 0 mins 0 lbs. 0.8 oz 23 grams 18.9%


Final Volume: 25 Litres
Original Gravity: 1.046
Final Gravity: 1.011
Alcohol Content: 4.5% ABV
Total Liquor: 35.5 Litres
Mash Liquor: 12.5 Litres
Mash Efficiency: 77 %
Bitterness: 47.3744978486386 EBU
Colour: 19 EBC

Yeast, White Labs WLP001
Dry hopped with 40g Apollo for 1 week

The version that Thornbridge made had the same grist (upped to 4.7%), but they replaced Simcoe with a tiny amount of Celeia and moved all the Apollo and Columbus to the end of the boil. Their hop utilisation means that even after the boil, high alpha hops still provide a load of IBUs. The Celeia was the lowest alpha hop they had, and was really just there to stop the thing boiling over.

@Swoonara
At work they use a hop utilisation setting of 65% this must help take into account the Massive hop additions at the end of boil that will sit in the hot wort for over an hour while the wort is transferred and cooled on on its way to the fermenting vessel.

I like the sound of both but surely changing hop schedule and upping the ABV means a different beer? Smells of intellectual copyright to me.

Styrian Stunner
23 L
4.76 Kg Maris Otter 2-Row
51 Grams of Styrian Golding alpha 3.5 at 90 minutes
24 Grams of Styrian Golding alpha 3.5 at 15 minutes
11 Grams of Stryian Golding alpha 3.5 at 7 minutes
Irish Moss at 15 minutes

Yeast
2nd Generation of Wyeast 1469 Timothy Taylor
I am shortly going to make this but probably with WLP002 as I have some (and don't have the Tim Taylor strain). I would also like to try late hopping half the batch in a different FV. I have a choice of the following hops I have left over, not being that strong on hop flavours, can anyone make suggestions. The obvious choice would be the fuggles but I wonder if trying something different might make it interesting:

100g Fuggles
40g Amarilo
40g Centennial
40g Northern Brewer

Thanks
