Need to get some chinook and amarillo rhizomes and grow my own.

Chinook are easy to get, Amarillo are not available as they are only farmed at the one location in the US. heavily protected.

Thats interesting might have to settle for cascade if they are available.

Looks almost identical to MattC's recipe.

Whats with everyones high %ge of wheat in APA's? No one can escape the wrath of the smurto golden ale when it comes to a malt bill for pale ales!

 

[gibbocore]

this is an entirely new grain bill for me as i've always gone the maris otter, caramunich, wheat, munich. I wanted to do something entirely different.

I've always used between 0.8-1kg of wheat malt, people say you cant taste it at those levels, but i can. I reckon it imparts a bready/twang that i like in my ales.

Should be interesting to say the least with approx 15% cyrstal malts you are walking the line of Amber Ale Territory.

I agree with noticing wheat, it adjusts mouthfeel fairly noticably. The more you add, the closer to the body of a weizen it becomes.

 

[gibbocore]

yeah, hah, in case you cant tell, i'm not a stickler for style. I've read a lot about what aroma and flavour carared has to offer, and i havn't used a standard 'crystal' (ie. not caramunich which i know is a crystal) for at least a year now, was after a fat tyre type redish bronze.

 

[NeilArge]

Please any hints and advice for modifying this recipe will be appreciated.

Came up with this recipe for an AG APA, Havnt used Simcoe and Cascade hops before, however Im told that when used with Amarillo, these three hops complement each other very well.

Hey MattC
How did this brew turn out? I'm just about to start brewing some APAs and thought I'd sample from the postings here. This looks good.
