James Squire Golden Ale

[FE2EK]

Hi All,

Any one had any luck doing a James Squire Golden Ale K&K clone. I am willing to give extra grain and hops a whirl. I would be interested in hearing any recipes. Cheers Geoff :lol:

Funny actually I dropped past Dan Murphy's on the way home and grabbed a few different beers to taste test and the Golden Ale is superb in my book! Looking forward to doing a home brew if there's something around the place.

Lots of threads on here have a search. Its a nice drop eh? My local had it on for 2 weeks, then took it off due to lack of sales!! I couldnt believe it!

heres one thread after searching JSGA:

Here's mine as well - one of those recipes you make up after finding a kit on special.
Brewiser Wheat kit 1.7kg
TCB Wheat LME 1kg
Amarillo 20g @30min
Amarillo 20g @15min
Amarillo 20g @ 5min
Safale S-05
23Litres brewed at 20c
I unfortunately undercarbed this one, but it was quite a nice drop otherwise.

The Amarillo Ale Fresh Wort Kit from St Peters Brewery come pretty close if you are looking for super easy.

I'm also told that the fella that makes the FWK's also works for Chuck Hahn at The Malt Shovel, so he should know the recepie

PS. I'm drinking the Amarillo ale right now :icon_cheers: Great Stuff

12g Amarillo 8.9% AAU @ 20
12g Amarillo @ 10
12g Amarillo @ 2

This may sound silly but what does the above mean?

The only downside is unless your in NSW postage costs is a real killer, none the less I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one to give a whirl, see what the AG fuss is all about

bL@De

12g Amarillo 8.9% AAU @ 20
12g Amarillo @ 10
12g Amarillo @ 2

means something like

12g of Amarillo boiled for 20 minutes,
12g of Amarillo boiled for 10 minutes,
12g of Amarillo boiled for 2 minutes.

Basically brewers shorthand.

Amarillo is like rocking horse shit where i live. Is cascade a reasonable substitute? By the way, heres the JSGA recipe from the craft brewer site.

"In one purchase you will get everything you need to make your own James Squire Golden Ale style beer - Muntons Blonde + Brewcraft Light Liquid Malt + US05 yeast + 250g dried wheat malt + 250g caramunich grain + 25g Amarillo hop. Please note: final volume 22 litres only."

JSGA (Dr Smurto style)
1 can Thomas Coopers Sparkling Ale
1.5kg pale malt extract (liquid)
15g amarillo at 15mins
15g amarillo at 5mins
15g amarillo (dryhopped at rack).
Kit yeast
20degC
1 week primary, 1 week secondary (dry hopped).

Sub the pale malt extract with a tin of the coopers wheat malt extract which is actually 50/50 wheat/barley. This gives you approx 25% wheat which is also approx what the real stuff is. Use US56(05) instead of the kit yeast.

 

[FE2EK]

Thanks for the replies to my original post. I will give a couple a try soon.

Cheers geoff

 

[Adric Hunter]

[Pugsley]

Definitely, if i could make sweet love to one beer, it would be a JS Golden Ale. :wub:

That sounds good to me, gonna try this out next batch.

 

[earle]

Does anyone what the composition of the Morgans MB wheat malt is? Can't even find the product on their website.

 

[Fantoman]

Am toying with a recipe for JSGA myself at the moment... think I am going to give this a go for my next brew... probably in the next couple of
weekends....

1.7kg Can Morgans Australian Draught
1kg Can Morgans Masterblend Caramalt
500gm Dried Wheat Malt
15gm Amarillo @15 minutes
15gm Amarillo @5 minutes
15gm Amarillo dry hopped
Safale US-05 Yeast (Might even try it again with S-04 to see the difference if this one works out)...

 

[mynameisrodney]

Okay I'm planning to start this or friday,

1.7kg Coopers Lager
1.5kg Country Brewer Liquid Wheat Extract (60% Barley, 40% Wheat)
250g Crystal Grain (steeped)
15g Amarillo @ 15
15g Amarillo @ 5
15g Amarillo Dry hopped

Any suggestions? I'm not after an exact clone, if it's similar and tasty i'll be happy.

Cheers
Chris

EDIT: Forgot to add using Safale S04 yeast

 

[tazman1967]

Use US1O56..just my 2cts worth...
But..If you want to go British hops..eg.. Fuggles and Goldings, SAF SO4
Up to you what side of the ocean you want ?

 

[mynameisrodney]

ok cool will do. how about the hop additions? do they look ok? also thinking of swapping out some of the crystal for carapils. thoughts?
