Mountain Goat Hightail Ale Clone Ag Recipe ?

[beerdrinkingbob]

Hi guys,

I know this thread was done about a year ago (Mountain Goat Hightail Ale - Ag Recipe Suggestion?), not that i have worked out how to link yet, feel free to hijack the thread with a couple of screens shots, i won't take offense!!

Anyway I love the Hightail Ale and would love to bash one out, has anyone made any good progress on a hightail clone?

Cheers BDB

Below is a reply from mountain Goat about the percentages of the grain Bill from the thread a year ago.

Hi Phil, Thanks for your email, we always love to hear from Goat stokers around the place. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so consider us flattered! The Hightail is roughly 88% Traditional Ale malt as a base, 8% pale crystal malt and 3% medium crystal malt for some body, colour and biscuity goodness with about 1% roast malt for some colour and a touch of roast character. We bitter with Pride of Ringwood and use Cascade as our aroma hops. I hope this helps! Cheers and beers,Jayne

That's about as much detail as you need to knock one out I reckon. A great response from the brewery to give percentages - just got to suss the IBU which you can estimate by drinking some.

I thought so too.

I've been playing around in brewsmith with it already, going to a brew club tomorrow so might do some investigation there too.

If i took a stab i would have thought it was about 30 ibu's <_< from my very limited AG experience....

Anyone want to have a guess at IBUs?

Going to give this a try as I have a ***** load of POR flowers, lots of POR based beers coming up!

I'm sitll in cahoots with whether to use the "No Chill" check box in Brewmate, I have always been ticking it but I don't have a reference point to decide if it makes a noticeable difference. Might need to do a side by side later this year!

I know this is a very old thread, however how did this turn out. I love MG hightale Ale and interesting in brewing it. What yeast did you use?

It was actually one of the best beers I have made and I have had it on the "to brew" list for a while. Granted back then my palate and brewing abilities were less developed than they are today, but I am keen to brew it again when there's a slot in the fermentation cycle.

Yeast would have been US-05 for sure. Happy brewing!
