Jasmine IPA (AG#110)

Sep 16th, 2017
by bryan.

A friend really liked a Jasmine IPA he had when he was in Vietnam (brewed by Pasteur Street), as asked if I could do something similar.  I wasn’t sure how to use jasmine, but after a bit of reading around I settled on making something inspired by this recipe from the Homebrew Talk forum.

Grist is pretty close to my normal pale ale grain bill, tweaked to match what I had in stock, and the hops are German as the Pasteur Street description is that they used Hallertauer at the end, but I don’t have any so I went with Perle and Saaz.  Steeped with Amarillo, as that’s what the Homebrew Talk recipe went for (and I like them and have plenty in stock!)

Comments:

Smelled marvellous when I added the dried jasmine, so I hope the aroma and flavour last through to the glass.

Um… as I type this I realised that I forgot the 15 minute Amarillo that’s in the recipe.  Never mind… (I always seem to forget something!)

Looks like I ended up with 21 litres at 1.054, which matches a BeerSmith efficiency of 70%.  A little lower than normal, but I’m happy with mid-5%s as a final beer; makes it a little more sessionable than one north of 6%!  Not sure why my efficiency suffered today, I’m normally in the mid-70%s, nothing unusual happened.  Maybe I screwed up the measuring of something – wouldn’t be the first time.  Doesn’t help that my scales can’t be zeroed all the way down when my measuring bucket is hanging from them: my zero point is 500g.

2017-10-03: Finished fermenting and looking pretty clear; temp dropped to 12C while the other beer in the same fridge dry-hops. Tastes really good, and there’s still definite jasmine aroma and flavour. FG was 1.006, so that’s 6.3% ABV, which is a little strong, but might help it last a little longer (yeh, right!)
