Julius IPA

I recently read about some hops out of Minnesota, from Mighty Axe, and really liked the flavor profile for the one called "Julius".  It turns out that I could get these from Northern Brewer, so I placed an order and it showed up yesterday afternoon.  So, during the high heat and humidity of central Virginia, brewing a fruit-forward NE-style IPA is a good way to spend an early afternoon.

Brew Day: 13 Jul 2019

Partial Mash:
8 oz 2-row malt
2 oz flaked wheat

Boil (20 min):
1 lb golden light DME
4 oz table sugar

Hops:
14 g Julius hops (FWH)
1 oz Julius hops (10 min whirlpool @ flameout)
14 g Julius hops (dry hop)

Yeast: US-05

Addendum, 14 Jul: These pellet hops create a great deal of "debris".  What I mean by that is that when I add the FWH addition, I just dump the hops into the kettle.  After transferring to the fermenter, flakes of the hops rose to the neck of the fermenter, and were pushed into the blow-off tube.  It looks like some pressure built up behind the debris, as it was pushed throughout the tube.

This is definitely something to keep in mind in the future.  The whirlpool addition is added in a hop bag, as is the dry hop.

Addendum, 24 Jul: Dry hopped today.

Addendum, 28 Jul: Bottled; got 8 good bottles and one re-purposed soda bottle.
