Recently, one of my frequent yeast-exchangees, Todd, sent me some yeast alongside an experimental hop from South Africa.  This hop &#8211; XJA\/2436 &#8211; doesn&#8217;t seem to have been used too widely, so I was not able to find a lot of information about it. But most of the information I found claimed this hop gave a fruit-salad like note with hints of tobacco in the background. Which, to me, sounds like a great hop for an IPA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My concept for this recipe was simple &#8211; I wanted a light and hoppy IPA whose malt and yeast character got out of the way of the hops. This would let me experience this experimental hop in all of its unadulterated glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2071\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/index.php\/2019\/08\/13\/xja-experimental-hop-ipa\/xjayeast\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/XJAyeast.jpg?fit=810%2C1538&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"810,1538\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"XJAyeast\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/XJAyeast.jpg?fit=539%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/XJAyeast.jpg?fit=539%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2071\" width=\"135\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/XJAyeast.jpg?w=810&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/XJAyeast.jpg?resize=158%2C300&amp;ssl=1 158w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/XJAyeast.jpg?resize=768%2C1458&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/XJAyeast.jpg?resize=539%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 539w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 135px) 100vw, 135px\" \/><figcaption>Rehydrating the kveik<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I used my standard light\/hoppy water profile (150PPm sulfate:50 PPM chloride), and used only small doses of light character malts to provide a bit more of a malt backbone than would be provided by a straight 2-row grist. I upped the bitterness with a few hops at the beginning of the boil, and split the 100 g sample of XJA\/2436 evenly between a 30 minute whirlpool and 5-day dry hop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For yeast, I used some of the Voss kveik I dried for <a href=\"https:\/\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/index.php\/2019\/07\/25\/drying-kveik-5-months\/\">my dried kveik series<\/a>. This yeast was dried out of the <a href=\"https:\/\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/index.php\/2019\/05\/15\/norwegian-fog\/\">yeast cake from an IPA<\/a>, and as such had a lot of residual hop matter. I wanted to avoid carry-over of this flavour, so I rehydrated the kveik in some distilled water. Once rehydrated, I shook the tube and let it sit for 5 minutes. I then poured off the yeast-rich supernatant, leaving the trub and hop matter behind. I wanted a clean ferment, so I used a starter to build up the yeast numbers to a normal ale pitch rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe &#8211; XJA Experimental Hop IPA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>Recipe Specifications<\/strong>\n--------------------------\nBoil Size: 30.56 L\nPost Boil Volume: 26.56 L\nBatch Size (fermenter): 23.00 L   \nBottling Volume: 22.50 L\nOG: 1.059 SG\nFG: 1.011\nABV: 6.5%\nColor: 5.3 SRM\nIBU: 57.3 IBUs\nBrewhouse Efficiency: 72.00 %\nEst Mash Efficiency: 79.8 %\nBoil Time: 60 Minutes\n\n<strong>Ingredients:<\/strong>\n------------\n<em>Amt        Name                           %\/IBU<\/em>\n0.10 kg   Rice Hulls                      1.5 %\n5.50 kg   Canadian  2 Row Pale Malt      85.0 %\n0.30 kg   Munich 10L                      4.6 %\n0.23 kg   Carafoam (2.0 SRM)              3.5 %\n0.23 kg   Carapils (Briess) (1.5 SRM)     3.5 %\n0.11 kg   Crystal 40L                     1.8 %      \n18.00 g   Warrior [15.50 %], 60.0 min    27.5 IBU                           \n15.00 g   Target [9.00 %], 60.0 min      13.3 IBUs     -             \n0.50      Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 10.0 mins)\n50.00 g   XJA\/2436 [12.90 %], Whirlpool 30.0 min, 16.5 IBUs\nVoss Kveik, large starter\n50.00 g   XJA\/2436 [12.90 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days\n\n<strong>Mash<\/strong>: \nSingle Infusion, Light Body, Batch Sparge\nMashed-in at 65.0C, hold for 90 min, batch sparge with 75.6 C water\n\n<strong>Ferment:<\/strong>\nPitched a large (1.5L) starter of Voss kveik and fermented for 3 days at 18C.

I read several sources claiming a strong fruit-salad character from this hop. In my hands this desired character was  present, but dominated by the intense tobacco\/leather character of the hops. I do not know if this is the &#8220;real&#8221; character of the hop, or a flaw introduced by the long transhipment from South Africa to Canada. The hops were well packaged, but I have no idea as to their age. Overall an interesting IPA, but I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d go out of my way to brew with this hop again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the nice side effects of my blog and yeast exchange is that people sometimes send me stuff.
