While I’m not very familiar with the style, I know a few of you are, so I thot I’d post this article I found in an old copy of one of my brewing magazines. Colter, this might be a good read while sipping a “T-Haze The Juice Hunter”.

T-Haze The Juice Hunter

It all started with a label. I had a couple hours to kill yesterday so I decided to make a new beer. Let’s start with the inspiration. I love the label for King Sue by Toppling Goliath. It looks like this:

I also really liked this label as well:

I love the cartoony look and the colors of both these labels. I decided to make one for myself and then make a beer to try to stand up to the label. So here we go!

Here is my label for T-Haze the Juice Hunter:

After that I made a recipe:

Then one day later it had my brew day!

I used Viking Pale Ale malt and flaked oats.

This was BIAB and I mashed for an hour. My target was 155 but I ended up at 154.
I pulled the bag squeezed and then boiled it for 1 hour with an 1oz charge of Citra. I was at 1.061 at the start of the boil.

After an hour I was way over my target and had to little liquid. so I topped up some water and hit my target at 1.071. I’lll take it!

My water adjustments I added 4 grams of Calcium Chloride and help back on the Gypsum. Trying to bring out the Juice and mute the bitterness. We will see…

Then in the fermenter we go!

I keep you all posted on this batch!

Hey All,

I had a couple of hours today and decided to do a short and shoddy batch of IPA. We will see how it turns out. This is a extract batch done with only a 15 in boil. So I loaded it up on hops on the bittering charge. We will see how it turns out.

It turned out to be 1.61 for the OG and it is in the fermenter right now.
