Not to sure what to with my unexpected bounty, I looked back to see what I did with the home-grown Cascades last year. Turns out last years beer was an\u00a0Black\u00a0Imperial Rye IPA &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/index.php\/2014\/03\/30\/brew-day-black-mamba-rye-ipa\/\">The Black Mamba IPA<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/suigenerisbrewing.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/04\/tasting-notes-black-mamba-rye-ipa\/\">Tasting notes<\/a> (and memory) revealed that this was one of last years better beer, so I thought &#8220;what the hell, lets do it again&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Last years beer ended up being under-gravity (more a BRIPA than a BIRIPA) as I \u00a0had begun experimenting with wet milling my grain and had over-whetted the grain. I&#8217;ve now optimized this method, so I hope to hit the desired gravity (1.071) instead of missing it like I did last year (1.059).<\/p>\n<p>But what to do with all those hops? The answer &#8211; add them all to one beer! For accuracy, the 75 minute bittering addition will be 34 IBU&#8217;s of Northern Brewer, but everything else is the home-grown cascade.<\/p>\n<table style=\"float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-6B4CY1fA-ys\/VTuGhJJIb_I\/AAAAAAAABFU\/iqwkW6vRMaQ\/s1600\/3tier.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-6B4CY1fA-ys\/VTuGhJJIb_I\/AAAAAAAABFU\/iqwkW6vRMaQ\/s1600\/3tier.png?resize=200%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">My (hopefully temporary) $10<br \/>\n3-tier\u00a0mash system<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>How do you work in 270 g (over a half-pound) of home-grown hops? The answer is lots of additions &#8211; 57 g (~2 oz) at 20, 12 and 5 minutes, plus another 57 g in a 15 minute hop stand (half added at flame-out; half added 7.5 minutes after flame-out). But that leaves 34 g (~1.5 oz) unaccounted for &#8211; that would be the prime hops; the ones I put aside into their own little pack as they had the most resin and aroma of the harvest. Those are being held back for a 3-day dry-hop after primary fermentation is complete. Estimated IBU&#8217;s are 67; maybe lower or higher depending on just how bitter the home-grown hops are.<\/p>\n<p>Grain bill is pretty much unchanged from last year &#8211; good quality Canadian pale malt as a base malt, 25% rye for that refreshing rye crispness, some carafa special II &amp; victory malt to round things out. Again, I am trying Conan, but will coax more ester flavour out of it by under-pitching (50% the recommended rate) and minimally oxygenating the wort. Fermentation will begin at 18 C (65 F, AKA my basements temperature) and ramp up to 22C (72 F) to finish. I&#8217;m going all-out, and even altering the water to up the sulphate and magnesium to make the hops pop.<\/p>\n<p>Full Recipe &amp; Brewday Notes Below The Fold<br \/>\n<a name=\"more\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Brew-days Notes:<\/h4>\n<table style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-0gx2uiYnm4A\/VTukUBVIYZI\/AAAAAAAABFk\/FU6qAuLVxVE\/s1600\/hops1.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-0gx2uiYnm4A\/VTukUBVIYZI\/AAAAAAAABFk\/FU6qAuLVxVE\/s1600\/hops1.png?resize=150%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Lines are run<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The in-laws are coming over for lunch, so the brewday started early (6 AM). Everything was measured out last night, so I simply plugged in m HLT and started heating water while making SWIMBO &amp; I some coffee. Mash &amp; sparge went without error, giving a pre-boil gravity of 1.052; just one point short of the predicted 1.053 and I have about \u00a0half-litre more volume than planned, so I&#8217;m probably dead-on. Boil started at 9AM, putting me ahead of schedule (2 pots of coffee helped), so taking advantage of my extra time I got the lines strung for this years hops.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time this year I actually got a full-length boil without my propane burner crapping out mid-brew &#8211; I&#8217;m guessing that&#8217;s because the polar temperatures are finally gone. The vacuum-packed hops were like giant plugs and took some work to break-up, but I got them all in. Before I knew it I was cooling the wort &#8211; I barely missed my target gravity (1.070 instead of 1.071), good enough for government work!<\/p>\n<p>I hope the taste of this beer is as flawless as the brewday!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"float: right;
