Hello beer fans and homebrewers,
Ashley here from sexton-brewing.com
and I am here with another homebrew
tonight
tonight we are looking at the latest
edition from my Inventa Series this is
Inventa Idaho 7 this is an American style IPA this just to rehash
the my Inventa series are hops that
I've never brewed with before so Idaho 7
just picked this one up not too long ago
from my local homebrew shop the Surly
Leprechaun he's been very generous with
the donation of hops for the for the
series of beer and yeah we're just sort
of gonna get into it I'll run
through the recipe really quick so this
was an all grain recipe this had two
pounds of pale two row three point two
ounces of munich ten and one point six
ounces of crystal 30 for my hops I used
Magnum for bittering and then all
subsequent editions were Idaho seven
this also had a dry hop addition as well
entire recipe hop addition mash schedule
all that jazz you will be able to find it
on my website the link is
gonna be down in the description down
below so head on out over there if you
want to duplicate the recipe or get be
inspired I don't know whatever whatever
people do with those recipes and I do
believe for yeast oh yeah I just used
USO five for my yeast so again the
malt bill on this is an exact replica of
my previous Inventa series beer which was
what did I use for that one completely
brain farting but there's gonna be a
link for the video right here right on the opposite side of where I'm pointing
anyways let's just crack into it see
what we got
so this was a this has been two weeks
pretty much to the day in bottle now so
it's a fully bottle conditioned
I did have this refrigerated it's only
been out for about 10-15 minutes or so
I've got a nice hiss no craziness going
on in the bottle it's not begging to
come out so it's good there we go see we
get so this beer recipe sort of gives me
more on the golden side it's
definitely not a light-colored IPA but I
like it
alright so Idaho seven this hop is
primarily used for aroma and late
additions it's supposed to have a real
pungent pungent tropical aroma with a
few notes of like grapefruit sort of
like grapefruit pithiness and I
read a descriptor of like black tea as
well so who knows so anyways there we go
poured out like a nice copper color
nice white head that's some
different sized bubbles there looks good
hmm alright aroma I'm definitely getting
a lot of orange on this oh the previous
one was Amarillo there we go
so this one sort of has a slight
reminder of Amarillo like a touch of
oranginess  not as sweet though getting
a little bit of a grapefruit pith to it
I'm not getting like real tropical notes
from it but it is very it does have a
pungent like a like a dankness to it for
sure mmm smells inviting. Anyways, Cheers!
this one's definitely on the the medium
and light side for body carbonation is
good I got that spot-on so that's good
getting a real punchy bitterness on the
on the front I wouldn't say it's overly
aggressive but I definitely wouldn't be
using Idaho seven for bittering editions
let's just let's just say that getting a
little bit of that dankness the tropical
notes are to come through a little bit
more on the sip opposed to them being on the aroma there's a little bit more of a
pine note to this as well like that
like a little dank dirty piney type of
flavor
Oh gassy drinks really well Idaho seven
I'm actually enjoying this hop quite
a bit it's got a lot of different notes
to it it's a very complex hop this
hop sort of if you remember to the
Amarillo video I sort of mentioned that
Amarillo doesn't really do a good job of
standing up on its own it's more of a
best used as a
complimentary hop this one I find that
there's enough notes to it
enough type of diversity in the flavour
and the aroma that it gets easily
standalone
yeah
so sum it up getting a little bit of
dankness a little bit of pine definitely
get some orange in there getting some
grapefruit I'm not getting a lot of like
super tropical notes to it but overall I
enjoy that yeah Idaho seven I enjoy that
hop quite a bit the beer itself is
pretty tasty too so there we go a few
other details on this beer forgot to
mention this one finished off with a 5.8
ABV 75 IBUs so again pretty much exactly
the same as as the Amarillo variant Oh
getting really burpee on this one
so yeah idaho seven it's a real complex
hop if you're really into simple recipes
and you don't want to really think about
too much about mixing up all the
different hops and stuff that
compliments each other but compliment
and go well together
I think Idaho seven would be a pretty
nice hop to use for a very simple recipe
yeah there we go
I enjoy that one I'm glad I have a few
more so anyways again all my recipe all
the information you can find it on my
website sexton-brewing com if you
liked the video please subscribe give it
a thumbs up tell your friends I don't
know
and yeah until next one oh I forgot to
mention the on my other video that'll be
you can find a link somewhere around
here I threw out the a vote to see which
hop was going to be the lot the next one
used and I'm happy to say that the
winner is oh it's actually fermenting
away I just did the dry hop Edition on
it today where's my recipe it the winner
was Polaris so excited just to see what
that one comes out like that one talk
about pungent that one has a pungent
aroma to it so we'll see the video on
that probably within the next three
weeks
so anyways have yourselves a good
night and we'll see you next time Cheers
