Avery Brewing Co. Clones

You got 84 IBU's from a 1/4 oz. of hops at 60 min. and a 1/4 oz. at 30?! I got 84 for the Maharaja, but not the plain IPA. I got 25 IBU's for that.

When I went on the tour, I remember they said their house yeast was originally from Bass. They used this over and over for a while until they got a house character that they liked and then they sent that to their yeast company to store and propogate up for them.

Even if Avery ferments their American ales at 74, which I doubt, I don't think that I would do that as a homebrewer. I've tasted my own ales that even fermented at 72, and they were starting to get a little off in the fermentation profile.

But the recipes look nice. Thanks for posting them!

I love brewers that are open door!!

Thanks BRB.

I was looking at the Maharaja. That one has 84 IBUs. The other IPA would probably still be pretty dry. That is a fairly low FG. I haven't actually had that beer so I don't really know.

Nice share.

74 does seem high... and do some inferences for the mash temps.

Huh

ive only had the avery/RR, collaboration not litigation ale... but these recipes have convinced me to try some other avery beers, heavy handed late hopping...heavy handed columbus hopping.. yum

Talking to Steve at Avery and they recently re-fomulated most of their recipes as well as swapping out their house yeast for a Wyeast 1056 variant. According to Steve, they do ferment at 74F because they like the flavor profile this yeast produces at that temperature.
