G'day,
Just joined this site after wanting to get back into home brewing. I've made a few brews using the Coopers home brew setup with liquid malt extract in the past. Recently made a Cascade pale ale with the Brewcraft powdered malt recipe kit. Turned out quite tasty.
But after visiting Mountain Goat brewery several times over the last few weeks, I am madly in love with hops (especially Galaxy hops they use in Randy, the hop infuser). Been buying as many beers as I can that are highly hopped.
Anyway, I wanna give making these kinds of beers at home, but the recipes I've seen here with AG mixes and multiple hop additions give me the impression that getting the timing and measurements wrong can lead to a waste of a brew and ingredients.
Looking towards the Brewcraft American Pale Ale kit; from their site:
"Sensational Pale ale with 4KG of malt, Perle Hops 25g & Willamette hops 25g plus the famous Safale US05 yeast. A full malt Ale beautifully balanced with a big hop flavour and aroma."
But also adding in some Galaxy hops, either late in the boil and/or dry hopped in the keg.
Also, how would I go about adding Crystal malt? Mountain Goat brewery mentions that it is used in their IPA and Fancy Pants beers.
Anyone have a beginner's recipe along these lines? Suitable for a 30L Coopers keg setup.
Something around 40-60 IBUs and with a strong hop aroma.
Thanks,
Adam
