I am using an ale yeast yeah, even though i have temp control and could use lager yeastSo… if a cold ipa is where you make an ipa wort and ferment with lager yeast are you doing a hot pilsner?

Cold IPA isn't fermented cold even when using lager yeast. The key thing is to maximise the thiols from the hops while keeping a completely clear- not even hazy- beer, which is then served cold or chilled. The best yeast in the Fermentis range for this type of "biotransformation" is their K-97, which is a Kolsch yeast. I've used Høg Norsk, a similar yeast to good effect.So… if a cold ipa is where you make an ipa wort and ferment with lager yeast are you doing a hot pilsner?
Get it done, i didn't even do a recipe, started with 21L water then added the malt to what was a good mash thickness then 8L of sparge water, 10g at 60 and 100g at 15 i will let you knowYou've got me tempted, @Rodcx500z ,I've got a pile of T E needs using up

No idea of how Midland will achieve this, but with a shed load of Tropical England it's going to be a great beer.

Don’t leave us guessing…Todays brew, Tropical England smash 160grams at 40mins View attachment 101130
No 160gr at 40 but I might change it to 15Don’t leave us guessing…
(Or is it a repeat and the hop load is further up the thread ?)
Sorry my bad, i meant 160 at 20 mins to go but i am now going with 15 mins, there are no bittering hops in this brewDon’t leave us guessing…

Ah. So tropical England is a hop.Sorry my bad, i meant 160 at 20 mins to go but i am now going with 15 mins, there are no bittering hops in this brew
It is a nice mix, bought 450gr from CML, so far i have tried it with pilsner malt it was very nice and didn't last long, this one is with crisps best ale maltAh. So tropical England is a hop.
Hang on, googled it and it’s a mix of hops so technically not a smash.
I suppose it’s out of the same bag, though, so what the heck
Sounds like a nice mix BTW.
