Taste Notes

Dry hop at yeast pitch vs on day 7 in a Celebration IPA clone. I was recently doing a Celebration IPA clone & at the suggestion of this group, I dry hopped half at yeast pitch. Left- Celebration Mid- Dry hop at yeast pitch Right- Dry hop on day 7 Recipe: https://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/4366266 Data: Dry hop at yeast pitch 1012fg 6.9% 4.51ph Day 7 dry hop 1014fg 6.6% 4.41ph Sensory: Comparing day 7 vs day 0 dry hop, The day 0 dry hop tastes more bitter & a little flabby. The aroma seems the same, noticable difference. We definitely prefer the day 7 dry hop. It's got a cleaner, snappier finish. I think the difference in the finished beer ph might be responsible for the flavor difference. Compared to Celebration mine is less malty & the aroma is less fruity, not sure if it is yeast esters, hops or malt, but the real celebration has just a little more non-citrus general fruitiness to the aroma. I wouldn't call it cloned, but it is darn tasty! I was short on c60 so I subbed a blend of c40 & c80, but next time I would use all c60 & that to 11% & ferment a little warmer to see where that gets me. I did not do any triangle tests, but after getting to know the beers for about a week my wife & I have periodically been pouring pints of them for each other & having them guess which one it is. We have both consistently gotten it right every time. It's kind of fun. Try it some time.
