Dr Smurto's Golden Ale Hop Ideas

[AdelaideHillsBrewer]

Thanks Guys, think I might try Cascade and galaxy or citra on the batch I will be brewing this weekend.

 

[Maheel]

was going to give this another run this week as the keg is drinking so well

would some

northern brewer hops for bittering
and cascade for aroma / flavor

go alright ?

pretty sure i flame out hopped into the cube and dry hopped
whatever i did i like it :icon_drool2:

What do you guys think? Would this work? Beer smith gives me 37 ibu. I will be no chilling.

20g of citra @60mins

25g of cascade at 20mins

25g of cascade at 5mins

I'd personally wind back the IBU to 30. Or increase the OG to 1.050 to balance the extra bitterness.

Hi Doc,
If I could add my two questions WRT modifying/personalising your recipe...

...work a treat as does galaxy and combinations of most.

I have some Galaxy & Cascade... what quantities & boil times would you recommend (23L brew length)?

Also, re. the exchange of rye for wheat... I can get Pale Rye & Crystal Rye (>>Ryes<<), is either preferable?

Many thanks from a cold & wet U.K., :icon_cheers:

For a 23L batch

10g each (Galaxy/Cascade) at 20 mins
15g each (Galaxy/Cascade)) at 0 mins.

Bitter with galaxy to hit 30 IBU total.

You want the pale rye (jealous as hell you can get roasted rye, never seen that here - Thomas Fawcetts crystal rye is supposed to be the bees knees too and we can't get that either, only Weyermann. Hmmmm, wonder how much postage is to Oz and whether there is some legal loopholes with grain......) to replace the wheat.

@Punkin - 88L? Small batch then? :lol: Love centennial.

Was an exceptional run too. Hit every target :icon_cheers: Not bad considering how pissed i was by the end of it :icon_drunk:



Centennial is my favourite hop by far of what i've tried. And the cascade has such a great smell.

I'm thinking about using a combination of amarillo and stella hops for this beer. I'm not sure how many people have used stella, especially in combo with amarillo but I think it's worth a gamble.
