I don’t often make clones. I prefer to take ideas from beers I’ve tasted and design my own. But this time I did, because Elijah Toh from Applehops is bringing this to Singapore at the end of the month. He suggested the homebrewers in Singapore try to clone it as their brewers Henok Fentie and Karl Grandin had put the recipe up on Facebook.
I thought, why not? It uses a lot of hops, including Citra, so it seemed like it would turn out to be something I would drink. The only concern I have is that the first clone I’ve made without tasting the original, so the result would be a complete unknown.
Brewday was pretty straight forward but I did need to go buy 20kg of ice to crash chill the wort after the whirlpool.
After chilling the beer to 15C, I tasted the sweet bitter wort and could detect some hop flavors, so the massive amount of hops actually contributed something.
