Keg just blew on my alteration on this:

Monteiths Original Clone
Irish Red Ale

Recipe Specs
----------------
Batch Size (L): 29.0
Total Grain (kg): 5.850
Total Hops (g): 48.33
Original Gravity (OG): 1.044 (P): 11.0
Final Gravity (FG): 1.011 (P): 2.8
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 4.32 %
Colour (SRM): 10.3 (EBC): 20.3
Bitterness (IBU): 21.4 (Average)
Brewhouse Efficiency (%): 70
Boil Time (Minutes): 60

Grain Bill
----------------
5.000 kg Maris Otter Malt (85.47%)
0.500 kg Wheat Malt (8.55%)
0.300 kg Crystal 90 (5.13%)
0.050 kg Chocolate, Pale (0.85%)

Hop Bill
----------------
10.7 g Pacific Gem Pellet (17.8% Alpha) @ 40 Minutes (Boil) (0.4 g/L)
10.7 g Pacific Gem Pellet (17.8% Alpha) @ 10 Minutes (Boil) (0.4 g/L)
26.9 g Pacific Gem Pellet (17.8% Alpha) @ 0 Minutes (Boil) (0.9 g/L)

Hop Tea in 2ndary with 20g Willamette.

Misc Bill
----------------

Single step Infusion at 65C for 60 Minutes.
Fermented at 20C with S-189 (replacement for Notto that didn't take).

It was a pretty nice beer. I'm quite happy with Pacific Gem and kinda wished I didn't hop tea with Willamette, but it was an "on the fly" adjustment for better efficiency needing dilution.

Mine ended up considerably lighter than tony's pic - dodgy iPhone pic warning (the ads lie):

I think I would have liked this maltier and upped the early bitterness just a tad.

I cracked the keg of this at the weekend.... :icon_drool2:
Lovely soft hop aroma from the Pacific Gem Flowers, blackcurrant undertones backed up with the burnt sugar toffee aromas from the malt..
I think that this is better than the original, will be making this a regular.
Thanks for your recipe Tony.

Tony,I wholeheartedly agree with Peter.Thanks for sharing this one...I spent a bit of time in NZ a few years back and really enjoyed the Monteiths. Although I haven't brewed one yet, I will be trying this one as soon as I am back in my swamp brewery.
Cheers

Hi Tony, I am guessing the 007 yeast would work for this brew too, yes?

 

[Tony]

sorry mate...... what is the 007 yeast ?

 

[jberries]

Sorry should have been more specific, WLP007 as in here

[Tony]

Ahhh.... yes it will work fine.

I'm halfway through a bottle of this, brewed as a partial, by fellow AHB member waggastew.

I'm really impressed. The head on the beer is very fine and dense, and just lasts and lasts.
Love the colour. It's how a beer should look, and the clarity is so good I can read the PC screen through the beer.

The aroma is gently malty sweet and very clean. Nothing jumps out to jangle the nerves.
Medium bodied with very nice mouthfeel.
Initial flavour is of very clean malt, with a hint of sweetness. That lasts all the way down the palate, but the finish in swallowing is of balanced cleansing bitterness, enough to avoid cloying. Very similar to many UK ales I''ve tried from the bottle. Not really any obvious hop character in the taste that I detect.
Altogether a very nicely balanced beer, unlike many APA and AIPA style beers (not that I don't love those as well).
I'm disappointed I only have one bottle!

I will have to schedule an AG batch of this. The only UK yeast I have at present is WY1099 Whitbread, which should go OK, I hope.

 

[Tony]

warra...... to be honest, any cleanish ale yeast will work...... if its a fruity one, ferment it cooler.

The hops tend to blend with malt.... they are kind of deep and earthy.

Definitely do an AG batch mate.

cheers

Brewed this at the end of the week. Been 4 days so far bubbling away in the fermenter.
Cant wait to tase this one. Loved the smell of the Pacific Gem hops.

Thanks for another recipe i have tried a few of yours tony with success with most of them :beer:

 

[jberries]

Hi Tony, great recipe. I did my first AG and first BIAB on this one, this is a great tasting beer. I would have to agree that it is better than the original. Will be making it again a.s.a.p. Thanks a lot!

 

[stompnground]
