AG#17 - Tapir IPA (pics)

Update:

If anyone can point me in the direction of a recipe for a hard, tangy IPA with a similar hop hit to Jaipur or Punk IPA, I might give it a go for my next brew.


PAH!

A Punk clone has to be up there on my list of to-do-nexts. Certainly would like a go this side of xmas.

Excellent thread by the way and good to hear your honest feedback and assessment of your brew

Looks the part all bottled up
Back to the drawing board eh, more brewing = Fun, so the next batch should be a step closer

I just wonder whether the lack of aroma is due to the low carbonation here? There is a fair amount of late hopping there, but perhaps moving some to dry hop would help it a little?

Also, of note, you say you "squashed the wort out of the hops" - unless it's a *very* gentle press, I'd always been under the impression that this is a no-no as it can lead to the extraction of off-flavours, but I've never seen a definitive answer on it?

Has anyone had any experience with these hops? Where is the orange flavour coming from? At a guess, I'd say the Centennial hops.

My opinion is that it is from the Ahtanum... i get very orangey notes from it when I have used them.

+1 on this point

I've made some great hoppy beers with centennial. Only made 1 beer with Ahtanum and it was pretty disappointing....
