Double Raspberry/Vanilla IPA Omnipollo

Braindead · Mar 28, 2017

Decided to brew this on Friday.
Just picked up the ingredients with a few slight changes.
Will this still be fine do you think.

1. I got malted oats as they had no flaked oats
2. I got flaked wheat not just wheat.

Will the malted oats increase the sugars in the mash? Or will these 2 lil things not make a difference.
Thx

I'd assume 'wheat' in the original recipe means malted wheat, so you've basically swapped the malted and unmalted oats and wheat. Under that assumption I ran the original and changed grain bills through BeerSmith and they came out very similar, 1.044 for the original recipe and 1.043 for the substitutions, this excludes the lactose and fruit.

It sounds like an amazing beer by the way!

My beer smith trial ended so couldn't input.
Just trying brewers friend

Not sure how many litres your brewing? but if you want a big raspberry hit I put 2.5k of defrosted frozen raspberry's in a 23l brew and it comes out nice, the misses is supping one now...

And I would go the vanilla pods. I used four in a porter and got hardly any vanilla taste.

Braindead · Mar 28, 2017

I spoke to the guys at Omnipollo
They said use the finest puree and vanilla powder, but not bourbon powder as it adds a smokey woody taste
Did u puree your own raspberries?

The pilsner malt should have enough diastatic power to convert the flaked wheat. However, I suspect that the flavour will be different.

Braindead · Mar 29, 2017

Think i should get some porridge oats instead of the malted oats?
I`ve never brewed with oats and don`t want to balls this pricy brew up.
Plus which porridge oats as I know some need a Glucan rest.

Any recommendations on carbing level for this brew. Im bottling.

Malted oats have a very strong flavour imo and it is definitely very different to flaked oats. If I were you I'd get porridge oats, I've ruined 2 brews by using malted oats in the place of flaked.

All bottled up now but after a few days theres a huge layer of what looks like fruit sediment or pectins solidifying and plenty floating around

Tasted amazing though before bottling

Or it's yeast

Thinking of rebrewing this but with strawberries. Would love it to be like a strawberry/vanilla ice cream.
Any ideas what hops would work besides mosaic?

How did the carbing go? I'm about to brew the same brew next week and wanted to know if I needed to prime or whether the sugar in the fruit would do the business? :-?

Have a look at Northern Monk - Neopolitan Ice Cream Pale Ale. Might give you some ideas of hops?

I tried a can of this last month and really enjoyed it :thumb:

I carbed as an IPA.
Think I used about 116 grams of sugar/water solution.
Quite a bit of fruit debris in the fermentor, and also bottle after conditioning.
Quite a tart beer too but very nice. I`d add more vanilla in also than stated in the recipe.

I was a bit undecided myself, don't think I'd have it again - it did taste exactly like Neopolitan ice cream though!
