Message PlinyandCitra 22:55 Fri 2/1/2013 They don’t have the punch I want. Kinda weak. Makes sense for the price.
Message HornyDevil 05:54 Mon 2/18/2013 Originally posted by HornyDevil Originally posted by HornyDevil Originally posted by keanex I tried a few beers with it and have read other’s opinions and the flavor and aroma is very mild. I’ll be using the whole lb. that I have during cooling, so that should take care of any mildness that there might be. Only used 10 oz. at flame out. Bottled this yesterday and it tasted fantastic. Anxious for it to carbonate. Will report back in a couple weeks.

Message rudolf beers 2359 º places 104 º 07:52 Mon 2/18/2013 Paul/Dickinsonbeer/Spiderbite and I/Community Beer Works brewed a batch of Belma IPA on Friday. - 1.07 SG - calculated at 56IBUS but lots added to the whirlpool that don’t get calculated.. Its pretty good right now. As noted they’re a restrained hop - certainly not something with anywhere near the intensity of most hops being used in American IPAs these days. Paul and I had each ordered 5# of pellets & interestingly we got bags labeled at different AAUs - 9.8 and 11.3. We went with the 9.8s as the 11.3s had some onion/garlic character.
Message drewbeerme beers 3921 º places 1 º 08:56 Mon 2/18/2013 I’ve been using belma pellets as a FWH addition for my past few beers although only 1 of them has been ready yet. The bitterness from it seemed clean. I’ll know more about them as a FWH and 60min in the next few months. Everything I’ve heard about them doesn’t really make me want to use them in later additions.

Nice fruity and floral character to it, though.

Grapefruit juice by the pint ;) I haven’t heard much grapefruit associated with it. How much and when did you use ’em? .5oz FW, .5 oz 60, 1oz @10, 1 oz @3 and 1oz @1. 3 oz dry hop for four days. Grainbill was something like 8lbs marris otter, 2 lbs wheat, 1 lb melanoidin.
Message JulienHuxley P beers 6219 º places 450 º 13:32 Mon 2/25/2013 Aroma is tame, but def. grapefruity.
