Amalgamation IPA & North East DIPA (100% Brett)

A slightly altered recipe for a 100% Brett IPA originally from Michael Tonsmeire AKA The Mad Fermentationist- . 6 strains of Brett in the form of The Yeast Bay's Amalgamation blend and lots of wheat and oats to make up for the lack of glycerol production in an all-brett fermentation.The aim/hope is to make an interesting alternative to the juicy-head-banging-fruit-bomb IPAs with a bit more complexity.

Will get my starter on later today in time to brew it next week.!

This looks really interesting!

I recently made my first 100% Brett pale, it's knocked every other pale I've made on it's arse. You won't regret making this!

Sounds great. I too just made a primary brett ipa. Initial tastes were really bad! After a long dry hop it was nice with interesting and different flavours. The reminds me I need to try a bottle or 2 to see how it's progressing!

The recipe at the top will be brewed another day.. I need a higher ABV brew for next months brew club, but still something similar. Same idea, but a lower proportion of adjuncts and a simpler malt bill. A fair bit of CaCl added to alter the balance and lessen the impression of bitterness.

Smells fantastic on the way into the FV. Yeast pitched, shaken and away we go. Going to be murky as anything though..

1g/l of Citra and 1g/l of Simcoe going in now for the first dry hop. Still fermenting actively, but tastes remarkably smooth. Around ~1.018.

Tasty though..

Can you tell I'm taken with my new glasses? 40p each

Oops. Should have put this in the Grisette thread. This is a picture of my Grisette fermented out with the TYB Amalgamation blend.

Oats are great addition in a pale ale.

Cheers, they look like a glass I am using at the moment that will get broken any time soon

Let this one sit for a month, again the yeast will not quit. Done some more research and this is quite common with this blend. Generally it only gives up around 1.001-1.005 and that's even with a 100% Brett fermentation. That means it'll be around 11%.

Starting to clear now and my patience has expired. Final dry hop in and bottling on Wednesday! Tastes delicious and I think this is set to be one of best beers I've brewed. A really clean and dry fermentation which is exactly what you want for a Double IPA.
