Afternoon gentlemen,
For my next brew I'd like to brew an Aussie pale ale for summer. Friends are suggesting I brew a Coopers Pale clone, but I'm kinda of the opinion that if I wanted to drink a Coopers Pale, I'd just buy it. Not really into clones - would rather have my own recipes (or others pinched from the database here.)
So I was thinking a true Aussie pale, including a POR bittering backbone and pretty much AndrewQLD's coopers pale grain bill, but with a medium - late hop addition of another Australian hop. Not too much, I want the POR bitterness to take centre stage.As for the other hop - prob not Galaxy, maybe Summer or Stella?
Annnnnnywaaay my question is - are there any other Australian ale yeasts out there than the obvious Coopers/WLP009 ale yeast? I do like that yeast and am happy to use it but just wanted to see if there were any other options.
Any other help/suggestion/criticism of my recipe idea welcome.
(I should add - I brew BIAB).
