So I made another batch using all Belgian Pilsner Malt and Crystal 60 instead of 120 and replaced cascade with chinook hops per the suggestion above and it came out pretty similarly to the other recipe. would like to have done a side by side comparison but it wasn't noticeably different. I think...

thanks for that info from the brewer dbj. i am making this again this weekend and will try what he suggested. did he comment at all on the choice of yeast?

their website still describes them as dry hopping with citra and cascade so maybe they had/have a surprlus of chinook so decided to use that as a dry hop instead. most of the flavor is coming from the jade and citra in the boil anyways. foothills is also doing an "IPA of the month" so maybe the...

if you are lucky enough to live in North Carolina, you can now acquire this lovely beverage in 22oz bottles. One interesting thing I noted on the label on the bottle is that they are now dry hopping with Chinook instead of Cascade. Other than that pretty much looks the same. Probably won't be...

I recently brewed my fourth attempt at a clone of Jade and drinking it from the keg right now. I feel like I have it pretty dialed in now. It's close enough for me and I probably won't tweak it too much more at this point. The main thing I did differently this time was to do a 45 minute...

an update on some information i learned recently on this podcast: http://talesfromthecask.libsyn.com/episode-25-ray-goodrich-from-foothills-brewing the guy on the show from foothills brewing said that they make hoppyum with 100% British malt. i don't know if he just meant the 2-row or...

on a separate note, i cannot believe you live in Milton, FL. My mom and stepdad moved down there to retire a few years ago and its such a tiny place. small world

Update: Just put my second attempt in the keg on Sunday and tried a little last night for the first time. Although still a little under carbonated, it's pretty close to the real thing. I would say it's 85%-90% of the way there. From what I could tell after four days in the keg, the taste and...

I read through this whole thread and don't recall anyone racking onto more nibs in secondary. i really like chocolate flavor in stouts (Southern Tier Choklat being the prime example), and am thinking about making this and adding more nibs to secondary. Can anyone think of a reason why that...

Golphur, I'm subscribed to another thread for a Jade IPA recipe and someone posted that a brewer from Foothills told him that they use Wyeast London ESB (1968) as their house yeast. So I might try using that the next time I make this Hoppyum recipe. The first two I've made were delicious. I...

Jim, You are still putting in a pound of the Crystal 90? How does the color come out for you? Do you get the orange hue in it? Gonna brew my second batch of it next weekend. I might try the London ESB yeast like the person above suggested. Will update you when it's time.

I've made this recipe two times (with and without columbus for bittering hops) and both came out great. in a blind taste test with the second batch i actually picked the homebrew over the bottle as better. and seatbelt123: my wife and i are also going to the bulls game tonight. love being able...

I was actually talking about my Jade in the above posts. Still haven't made the Sweetwater recipe yet. My Jade turned out pretty good taste/aroma wise--you can clearly smell the Jade hops in it. It is definitely too dark, so a whole pound of Crystal 120 was way too much. I will try making it...

Just kegged it last night and it tasted really good and actually reminded me of Jade in terms of both aroma and taste. Can't wait for it to be ready to drink next week. May end up making a few tweaks next time, but for the most part, I think the recipe is pretty solid. The color looks pretty...

I just racked to secondary and dry hopped. OG was 1.062 and FG was 1.020 for an ABV of 5.51%--so a little on the low side. I had some problems after primary fermentation started. I think I had too much wort after I finished my boil and I had beer coming out the airlock the next morning. Put on a...
