Message OldSock 12:29 Mon 7/16/2012 Originally posted by HornyDevil Originally posted by HornyDevil Gonna do a 100% Brett IPA (with dreggs from Crooked Stave’s Wild Wild Brett Yellow) with the rest of the Calypso and Legacy that I have left. Should be a fun project. Gonna split this batch. Base beer with just pils, oats, and a small bittering addition. After the primary, half will be bottled. The other half will get a substantial dry-hop with the Calypso and Legacy. I figure that’ll give me a good idea of what the Crooked Stave "strain" brings to the table while additionally finding out how it works with a big aroma addition. I was underwhelmed by my first batch with Calypso, too much over-ripe pear for my nose. My first 100% Brett (Trois/Drie) IPA is done fermenting (~1.010 from 1.065), but still looks murky. I’m giving it a week cool to clear before kegging and dry hopping with more Citra/Centennial/Chinook. Good luck!
