Hop Monster APA

Ale - American Pale Ale
All Grain

Brewer's Notes

This is a quite hoppy APA using 4 different hop types. Adapted from the Skunk Fart. If you can't get Flaked Maize, then a cereal mash with polenta or just straight popcorn in place of the maize will do. All it does is add a bit more ABV, so 250g dextrose will do the same. Yeast=WLP001, 1056 or US-56 (dry yeast works fine). May also be good with WLP051 for a bit more fruitiness. Ferment at 18C, secondary for a couple of days, cold condition if bright beer desired. The head on this will be massive from the hops and wheat malt.

This beer highlights low co-humulone hops - if you can't get the hops listed then make sure whatever you use is low co-humulone.

20min hops are First Wort Hops (FWH) - add into the kettle before you runoff your mash.
