After reading this forum and looking at the recipe for a Fat Yak clones, a few mentioned using the Copper Pale ale or Coopers Real Ale. The brew shop recommended the Real Ale ( bonus cheaper as well). Recipe also called for 1kg LDME and 250g dextrose. Decided ( with some advice) to decrease the malt and increase the dextrose so that the hop flavor shone through. The recipe is as follows at 44L
500g pilsener grain ( 6 row) - why: left over from a previous Pilsener brew
1kg dextrose
1kg LDME
20g Nelson Sauvin (11.5% AA) – 60min boil
40g Cascade(5 % AA) – 5min boil. (I actually did 20g @ 10min then 20g @ 5min
20g Nelson Sauvin(11.5% AA) – 5min boil.( I actually did 10g @ 10min then 20g @ 5 min)
20g Cascade(5 % AA) – Dry Hop 3 - 4 days
20g Nelson Sauvin(11.5% AA)– Dry Hop 3 - 4 days
2 x Ale Us-05 Yeast
Some recipes only dry hop with the Nelson, some with the cascade. A lot just recommend the Nelson, leaning towards that but have plenty of hops so may do both
Opening the Nelson and smelling -great smell just like FY
OG: 1.056
FG:? Just started fermenting tonight at 18 degrees
Note: great hop smells, I know it won't be FY but I think I will be happy with it. Will soon see.
