Brewer's Notes

This is a nice quick easy drinking summer pale ale that can be easily completed from mash to the glass in 7 days if need be, Good hop aroma & flavour with the galaxy hops -
(PLEASE NOTE - the hop AA shown in the recipe is correct for the recipe, but the hops are shown as Cascade as there was no option for galaxy in the list. I have made it with cascade, but prefer the galaxy version...)
Nottingham used for a quick ferment with a fast drop-out at the end for a nice bright beer straight out of the fermenter. Traditionally I brew this with no secondary, 20-22 degrees will usually see this ferment out in 3-4 days & drop clear in another few days by itself, however this can be reduced to 24 hours by crash chilling @ 1-3 degrees. From there rack directly into the keg and force carb to be drinking it 30 minutes later. A Beerbelly Brewing recipe, extremely popular in the shop.

Nooooooooooooooooooo ................. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[domonsura]

Nah bro, I can't eat your ghost planktun.....:lol: I think the recipe started with Southern cross (hence the name), and evolved through a variety of different ones, through cascade and b-saaz, even Pacific Gem - over the course of the summer of 2009, which was a stinker. I finally decided I like Galaxy more. Obviously by then I had forgotten about the kiwi reference

 

[kymba]

thoughts on subbing the pale crystal with either Barrett Burston medium crystal or carared, and quantities?

 

[jkmeldrum]

Did this recipe about a month ago, still finishing off the keg...very enjoyable indeed!

Brewing this tomorow night but wondering what mash schedule I should use on my herms? Any suggestions?

 

[tiprya]

I'd reckon 65/66 for 60 mins is all that would be needed.

If you want to get fancy with the HERMs you could do 62/66/72/78 for something like 10/40/10/10 mins to ensure fermentability and get to mash-out.

Thats the kind of thing I do with my braumeister, but I think I'm just showing off, doubt there would be much difference from the single temperature mash.

Cheers mate. Will give that a crack.

I brewed this last week and had an OG of 1.045. After 3 days its dropped to 1.006 already and looks like its finished. All the yeast has dropped to the bottom already.

 

[RAD]

Gonna do this on the weekend is there another name for TF Pale Crystal or do you know what a substitute would be?
Cheers

I used Simpsons pale crystal from Grain and Grape. Your LHBS should have a pale crystal. And I put it into brewmate as crystal 30.

Heres a picture of how mine turned out. Im happy with it. The galaxy adds a nice flavour without the usual overpowering flavour that Galaxy often does.

I didnt get very good head retention though. Pours with a nice head but disapears very quickly.

Off topic sorry
The old Notto goes hard doesn't it!? I just did the same with an ESB, 2 days and it was down to 1.008 from 1.050. Unfortunatley it eats the aroma and flavour of the hops and chews through everything else (probably leaving no head retention) BUT I planned for that by mashing at 68 degrees for 90 minutes and I used a lot of EKG at element out. I checked the flavour today and it's a nice malt profile but id'e like more aroma still so I might dry hop some EKG and styrian for 3 days.
First time with Notto so see how it comes up fingers crossed.

Ok well that explains why the galaxy isnt so overpowering like it usually is when I use it?

 

[philmud]

Why is this beer so fast to condition? Sorry if its obvious.

 

[Rowy]

The Notto is a very quick finisher for a start. I brewed this a month or so ago and its not bad. It was better though after a couple of weeks in the keg.
