Is that 50IBU total or just for the Challenger? If just the Challenger, with the Progress and EKG BeerSmith estimates around 62IBUs total (22.7L recipe)Jim wrote:Bittering hops Challenger to 50 IBU

Re: JBK Own IPA/ALE
Just for the challenger. I know that if you put late hops into most bitterness calculators they appear to add quite a bit of bittereness, but in my experience it doesn't happen like that and what you mainly get is a fresh hop flavour and very little (perceptible) base bitterness.byronb wrote:Is that 50IBU total or just for the Challenger?

Re: JBK Own IPA/ALE
Definately doing this over Xmas...
If the choice of yeast is open, should mash temp be too? I had planned to use Fullers Yeast and would probably want to mash a little cooler to offset the lower attenuation? If not, I’ve got some Scottish Ale yeast I could use I guess....

Re: JBK Own IPA/ALE
Feel free to play with mash temp if you like - as you say, best mash temp to get a balanced result will depend on your choice of yeast. However, also bear in mind that it is quite a well hopped beer.simmyb wrote:Definately doing this over Xmas...

Re: JBK Own IPA/ALE
All set for 'Jim's ESB' tomorrow morning.
4600g Maris Otter
270g Caramalt
270g Pale Crystal
270g Torrefied Wheat
55g Challenger @ First Wort
40g Progress @10mins
40g EKG @ Flame Out, 30 mins steep
Fullers Yeast, Mash @66C for 60mins
Water treated to Grahams 'Bitter' profile
This is not a million miles away from my House Best Bitter (the main difference being the use of Progress which I have not used before) which I had planned to brew over xmas anyway, so really looking forward to comparing Jim's ESB to a beer I know well.
Fingers crossed for a smooth brew day!
