Hi,
I just tried a beer from Elysian Brewing called the Avatar Jasmine IPA
and was wondering how to make something similar.
Has anyone used jasmine before? Any comments or tips? Are dried
jasmine flowers the same as what jasmine tea would be?
Their website has a pretty good write-up. Can anyone make some
suggestions on a recipe to try?
>From website:
NAME
A version of IPA with and eastern touch, referring to the word's
literal meaning - an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu.
INGREDIENTS
Brewed with English Pale, German Munich and small amounts of German
Carahell and English Crystal malts. Bittered with Chinook and finished
with Glacier and Amarillo hops. Dried Jasmine flowers added in the
boil and hopback
FLAVOR
Florally fragrant and slightly sweet, with hops to balance.
alcohol content
15.5=B0Plato (1.062) alcohol 4.7% by weight/5.6% by volume .
body
Somewhat sturdy, but refreshing
Thanks,
Waseem

Thanks,
I guess that would seem right. I think they make the tea by letting
tea leaves absorb aroma from the flowers.
I'm thinking of just adding about 1/2 oz or so just prior to flameout,
and maybe trying to make a 'jasmine essence' by steeping in a cup of
vodka for a few weeks and adding to taste at bottle time.
Do you think that there's anything to be gained by adding jasmine to
the boil earlier?

To my thinking jasmine is mostly about the aroma. I'd use it
like an aroma or dry hop. 1/2 ounce seems like a good place to
start.

I love jasmine and have made Mead with jasmine tea. The
flowers are probably stronger than the tea.
