Hello everyone. I'm on a mission to find the most authentic AG 'James Squire Golden Ale' recipe around.
I've already gathered as much info from the forums and Google as possible, but wanted your opinions in case someone here has attempted to clone this brew and had good results.
I plan to make this as our first AG, as soon as I've collected the missing pieces of gear, and a fermentation fridge. I'll ferment this one as cold as is practical for the ale yeast, and possibly cold condition if we have the patience (unlikely).
This seems to be a great beer that everyone from beer snobs to Hahn Super-dry drinkers seem to really enjoy. My wife (who enjoys all beers) has labelled this her new favourite beer. If I can produce something close to the same style, I'll definitely be in the good books
Any further advice, recipes, etc is much appreciated. Once I get something similar to the original, I'd like to evolve it in to something a big stronger and more malty for myself.
Here's the best looking recipe I've found so far (thanks to the author, unfortunately I can't seem to find which AHB'er it was) :
