Good APA recipe?

[Scobieb]

Hey guys,

Haven't brewing over the summer because its hard to keep a consistently good temperature in my apartment. But now autumn is here and I have a fermenting fridge on the way, I'm looking for a decent APA recipe to kick off 2014 brewing with.

Prefer to use DME because currently i'm only brewing 10 litre batches at a time.

Any thoughts? Recommendations?

The Coopers Anniversary Ale recipe makes a great starting point.

They seem to have rejigged the website and lost this one.
It's basically a can of Coopers Draught, a can of Amber LME and these hops:


25g Nelson Sauvin ( boiled 15 min )
25g Centennial ( boiled 8 min )

You can add some more dme if you like, but not essential.
I use the Thomas Coopers Traditional Draught but that's up to you, go for a cheaper kit if you wish.

Use US-05 or liquid yeast for best results.

Try this, its delicious. Its a pacific ale clone:

Ingredients

• 
  1.50 kg Coopers Liquid Light Extract
  
• 
  1.50 kg Coopers Liquid Wheat Malt Extract
  
• 
  45g Galaxy
  
• 
  US05 Yeast
  

Method

1. 
   Boil 520g of malt in 5L of water
   

1. 
   10g Galaxy @ 20mins
   

15g Galaxy @ 10mins
20g Galaxy @ 0mins

1. 
   Chill boil down.
   
2. 
   Add the rest of the malt, kit and boil into the fermenter. Top to 20-23 liters.
   

1. 
   Pitch yeast
   

You'll have to do a calc to work out how much DME instead of LME. Don't forget to half the hop additions as well for 10L. I usually make this to 20L and keg.

+1 for the stone and wood Pacific ale recipe. I did a similar (if not the same (Earls recipe if I'm not mistaken) for my first ever brew and still one of my fav's even after moving to AG.

Yeah I think it's Earls recipe. Cant remember. She's defiantly a winner.

That sounds nice and simple. I might have a whirl at that
