Help On Sessionable Pale Ale

[manticle]

Jamil book 'Brewing Classic Styles'

Great outline of recipes, easy to follow and for once in an American book - metric measurements so no conversion necessary.


If you want a sessionable beer for mates who aren't big hopheads, I'd drop out the dry hopping completely. If you're really keen on using Aussie hops then maybe bitter wit PoR and do a small flavour addition with the glaxy so it's not over the tp. I've had it in a couple of brews and I've found Nelson Sauvin to be far more passionfruity so if you limit the additions I'm sure you could make a nice beer your friends will enjoy.

thanks for all the help guys... I have heard of Jamil's brewing classic styles and it seems its all good news so I might purchase that and give it a read and practice brewing my standard Belgians in the time being... (I'm not gonna lie I bought the Belgian Schelde Yeast and am very excited for a sessionable Belgian Pale! could be a good one to start AGing on as well as its predominantly pilsner)

Cheers of to read some Classic styles haha

What temp are you dry hopping?

Depends on the yeast.

Just wondering as higher temps = grassy flavours from dry hopping.
