Folks,
After a 10 year hiatus from home brewing I have dusted off the fermenter and gotten busy. So far I've done a Coopers Vintage toucan clone that turned out great, I've got a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale extract and grain clone in the fermenter and now I'm looking for my next recipe.
While I'm a big fan of the hoppy, high alcohol APAs (Sierra Nevada Torpedo is an all time favourite), I think it's time to kick off a session beer. That is - not so hoppy and not so high in alcohol. For me, another all time favourite in this category is the Lord Nelson's Three Sheets Pale Ale. If I could make something even close to this I'd be a very happy man!!
A bit of googling got me a few facts -
Galaxy bittering hops
2/3 Cascade and 1/3 Galaxy for flavour/aroma
US-05 yeast
But as far as malts go I'm at a total loss. I'll be using extract and have just purchased 15kg of Pilsen LME from iBrew. According to some sources this is a good place to start. I've also heard some pale crystal to steep would be good.
As for the rest, I'm very much open to suggestions. Anyone got any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
