Life & Death

[Matt Loves Beer]

Hi all,

Does anyone have or seen the recipe for Vocation Brewrys Life & Death IPA please.

It’s just the best beer I’ve ever tasted, I’ve gotta try brewing it.

Thanks
Matt

Email the brewery. Micro's quite often give their recipes if you ask them

Just emailed them, hopefully they will get back to me.

Matt,

Can't help you with Life & Death but SkyBlue posted a recipe here for Jaipur IPA which might float your boat:

I also found a Meantime IPA recipe here - I'm currently brewing something slightly simpler inspired by it:

Cheers,

Life and death is a pretty solid ipa but I've had much better, probably one of the better "craft" beers available in a supermarket yes. But find a decent bottle shop and you will be surprised. As far as a recipe goes it tastes to me like mostly mosaic and Citra.

£6 for 4 in asda - its good but try the stone ipa or weatherspoons bengali or lo-res or any of the beavertown beers in m&s

 

[Matt Loves Beer]

Thanks for the replies guys. I've emailed the brewery but no answer as yet.

Weird! I came into this area of the forum to ask exactly the same question. I'm really enjoying it at the moment. Please let me know if you get a reply. Oh and you can get 8 cans for £9 in Tesco.

Blank Betty...yum yum!

Chinnook and Amarillo for bittering, for flavour and aroma and dry hops Citra and Mosaic 50/50

My most recent "best" bought beer by a mile...Tiny Rebel Cali Pale.

This is also a bit of a go to beer for me, yes there's better out there but £9 for 8 cans in Tesco is great value and certainly nicer than any of the BrewDog offerings at the same price. I try not to buy much beer when I'm at home preferring to drink my own but it's a nice treat on holiday. It's also the sort of thing that I would like to replicate if I ever get to do some all grain.

It's a nice beer. Also on the 8 for £9.00 is Thornbridge's Green Mountain, which I'd be interested in a recipe for (it says Mosaic, Amarillo and Galaxy on the can, I can probably make a decent stab at it from that). Green Mountain is probably my favourite beer at the moment.
If you happen to see Vocation's Bread & Butter that's also very nice.
Will watch this thread with interest.

I agree it’s a cracking beer

 

[Grealish]

I asked them about their hops... Mosaic and Citra so well done Stigman. I didn't ask for the full recipe as it seems to me to be an all about the hops type of beer.

Anthony Barrett ex Vocation said it's based on Heady Topper which I find very interesting!

On the subject of decent AIPA, I had a couple of Eight Arch Corbel recently. What a lovely pint! I've got the CAMRA book with the recipe in it, but I see Malt Miller do a 20 L kit of £41. CML don't do Corbel, but they do a kit with a tad more grain and equally exotic hops (ok a few less hops, but it's hard to find an exact comparison) for £26.50 with free delivery.
