mine on the left SnW on the right ,
Its not SnW but very close and tastes great. I am very happy with it and wouldnt change too much, maybe tinker with the wheat(raw% v malted%) and big cheers to snow for the advise

hello,

Im new to brewing but really want to give this Stone and Wood pacific Ale a try as I think it tastes fantastic. In this post I've noticed that the recipe says it comes from brewsmith.com "BeerSmith Recipe Printout - www.beersmith.com" But what recipe exactly is being used from brewsmith as I can see a number of American pale Ale recipes on their site.

Also I looked at the recipe shown here.

Sticks and stones by Daemon

But it only lists the ingredients and none of the actual steps.

Sorry if Im asking stupid newbie questions. Ive read the sticky on "Move to all grain for thirty bucks" which was a very helpful post.

Thanks in advance.

The steps depends a little on your method of brewing. That's an all grain recipe, so it requires mashing. Are you BIABing as per Nick's thread?

Basically mash the malts, drain, sparge if appropriate (rinse grains) until you have the appropriate pre-boil volume. Bring to the boil, boil for an hour or more, adding the specified hop amounts at the specified times.

The recipe doesn't specify the mashing temperature. If in doubt I'd aim for 64-66.

More info about your method/intended method.

Yes I do want to follow Nicks method. So sparge means to rinse the grains? Is that where he puts it in a green bucket then squeezes the bag to drain out the liquids? He mentions adding a litre of 70C water to the bucket and dunking the bag back in their? I assume he means a litre of water from the pot and not clean 70C water or am I wrong??

Also the recipe says

15 g Galaxy (Flowers, 14.9 AA%, 10 mins)
25 g Galaxy (Flowers, 14.9 AA%, 5 mins)
So would I boil for an hour and add he first lot at 45 mins for 10 minutes then remove and add the second lot for 5 mins? How long should I boil for? What am I aiming for here.

 

[manticle]

Sounds like what you are describing is a dunk sparge yes. It does mean rinsing the grains. The mashing part activates the enzymes inside the grains to convert the grain starch to sugar (maltose). Rinsing can help get a bit more sugar into your wort although it isn't entirely necessary with BIAB.

As for the hops - don't take them out until the end of the boil.

Where a recipe says x amount of flowers@20, that means you add 20 minutes before the end of the boil (so they are boiled for a total of 20 minutes).

In most recipes, there will be a bittering addition around 60 minutes or at the start of the boil. However Stone and wood relies on late hopping for lots of hop flavour and is not very bitter - hence the 2 additions at 10 minutes and 5 minutes out from the end and a low bittering level.

You still should boil for the full 60 minutes though.

 

[Truman42]

Thanks Manticle, That explains a lot. I was going to ask about bittering hops as Ive read about adding them and wondered when I would to this recipe but you've answered that for me too.

Another question, are these ingredients readily available at most LHBS in Melbourne?


3.5 kg BB Ale Malt
0.8 kg BB Wheat Malt
0.2 kg Flaked Wheat
0.1 kg Weyermann Munich I
*15 g Galena (Flowers, 14.9 AA%, 10 mins) *(This is actually galaxy hops isnt it)
*25 g Galena (Flowers, 14.9 AA%, 5 mins)
10 g DCL Yeast US-05 - American Ale

 

[Malted]

LHBS maybe;
Grain and Grape definately.

 

[ploto]

*15 g Galena (Flowers, 14.9 AA%, 10 mins) *(This is actually galaxy hops isnt it)
*25 g Galena (Flowers, 14.9 AA%, 5 mins)

Yes it should be Galaxy hops for the S&W Pacific Ale.

You often see Galena mentioned in recipes as the forum's recipe database and some older versions of brewing software does not have Galaxy listed, so people use the closes sounding name in the list.

Not most but some.

Grain and Grape
Greensborough home brewing
Not sure about brewer's den - certainly some will be.

You can also order online from craftbrewer, Gryphon brewing and others.

If you can't find Barrett Burston malt, substitute with another pale (ale malt) like Joe White. As you get to know your processes more, play around with different base malts and different brands to see what effect they have.

Thanks once again just a few more questions.

I assume this.... 0.1 kg Weyermann Munich I is this

Munich I Malt (Weyermann)
EBC 12 - 17 (mash required): Light Munich malt. Used as a base for many
German beer styles. Fest beers, bocks, ales. Enhances malty flavour and aroma.

and this.....0.2 kg Flaked Wheat is this

Wheat Flaked/Torrified (Blue Lake)
EBC 3 - 4 (mash required): Unmalted wheat .Typically used
for Wits & other wheats where raw unmalted wheat is called for.

And finally the yeast .... 10 g DCL Yeast US-05 - American Ale can I use this

Fermentis - Safale US-05 (11.5gm)
The most famous ale yeast strain found across America (AKA 1056), now available
as a ready-to-pitch dry yeast. Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl
& a very clean, crisp end palate. Formerly known as US-56.

 

[Malted]

Yes, yes & yes.
Flaked wheat is different to torrified wheat but that is of no concern to you at this stage. Either will be ok in that amount.

 

[Truman42]

Ok great thanks, and if I cant get a big enough pot and have to do half of the 23 litres for this recipe, do I just half everything else??

 

[Truman42]

Someone??? Anyone????

Put the figures into beermate as a 23L batch, then scale down the batch size to what you want. The ingredients will scale down accordingly.

 

[Truman42]

Where do I find beermate? I googled it and found brewmate is that the same thing?
