The search function is a pita, to be honest.....but there is a firefox add-on for AHB search....brilliant. Works a treat.

Hey Timmsy,

My old LHBS owner was a fantastic brewer and judge. He formulated this recipe based on his tasting of SNPA and won first place in a competition once, see below.

Also found this one where the author claims to have obtained some info from the brewery itself (see attached), haven't tested this one tho'

Good luck

Timmsy, this attachment is from the BYO magazine (US) 150 classic clone recipes. Should be close. Im guessing you are doing all grain?

That scan seems on the money, as you can tell by my avatar I certainly enjoy the SNPA Didn't realise there was so much cascade at flameout and dry hopped, no wonder you can smell it!

It was the savour of beers when I went to the USA, so many others were hit and miss. My fallback was the Sam Adams Boston Lager, at least most places used to sell it! Best I had was the 60 Minute IPA, now that had some bite to it! Oh, and a tallie of SNPA was about AU$3 at the local supermarkets in many places, was quite enjoyable as a starter for the night (especially if they had nothing else....).

[Screwtop]

Have enjoyed the original and made this many times. Think it is pretty similar to the 40L recipe provided earlier by razz. It's easy and have given this recipe to a few newbs who have brewed it as their maiden AG. Has turned out great every time.

Ive never had a SNPA.. how does it compare against a LCPA?

LCPA is LCPA and SNPA is - well....SNPA

Surprised!!!!

[kabooby]

I have made the same recipe Screwy. Comes out great.

The SNPA I had here was not so good. Wasn't bad but wasn't excellent.

It must be a good beer fresh. You don't get a reputation like that for no reason

SNPA is very much a gateway beer and at the low end for an APA, not as aggressively hopped as LCPA. I also find LCPA more resinous due the huge amount of late hops they use when brewing.

If you like hops then I dont think you will stick to SNPA for very long.

I think that the hop balance is really nice in SNPA Jye :lol:

Well arent you just a delicate flower :lol:

 

[KillerRx4]

I think Ive heard/read LCPA is based on SNPA.

For a few years Ive been drinking LCPA as my only reference to a APA style.

Some great & hoppy fresh, some probably badly handled & not so fresh but still reasonable & tasty.

About a year ago I found a localish source for SNPA & I was excited to be able to sample what has in my experience been touted as epitomising the APA style.

From the first smell & taste I wished i had a LCPA on hand to taste side by side because it was so much same same.

I like that in one Brew Strong episode, Jamil Zainasheff spoke of his ANHC experience and commented quickly but positively on LCPA being like SNPA "only better".

I have never forked over the wad of cash when I have seen SNPA, so I have no no idea other than the interepretations of others, including one American friend who called it Colledge Juice or something along those lines because it is so cheap there.
