PS I pitched the other 20L onto 3763. it will be henceforth known as Julia's Sour Red.
I was trying to think of a witty play on the words Flanders and flange, but I think it says it all...
Dry hopped with 2.5g/L Styrians, some oak chips to be added...

Will probably step mash
TEMP: 55/63/68/72/78
TIME: 5/45/20/10/10

and boil for 2 hours as the last few pale beers I've made with european pils have a distinct corn flavour I'd prefer less of. Would be interested to see if the 2 hour boil knocks it on the head (normally do 90 minute minimum with european pils) and if it doesn't, I will try a side by side one chilled, one no chilled and see if that does it.

I normally no-chill and get little-no DMS but these last couple.................... I shake my fist at you sir.

In my experience it gives a more complex hop profile than just adding all in one or two goes.

Depends entirely on what you are trying to make. Hoppy? Malty? Fruity? Sweet? Bitter? UK? Belgian? German? US? NZ? Hybrid?

 

[Fish13]

An ale that is hoppy and fruity and a little bit of bitterness.

Maybe a india pale ale might be the way to go.

So looks like an APA or AIPA is on the cards. I don't know what hops you have at your disposal but cascade is a good go to apa hop. Cascade mixes very well with amarillo and chinook, is interchangeable with centennial and good on its own. Orange/citrus flavour.

People swear by citra - not tried it. Galaxy is another favourite - I'm personally not a fan of the passionfruit flavour but if you like stone and wood, you'll enjoy it. It's an Aussie hop but has that fruity US thing going on. Otherwise an NZ style apa using motueka or riwaka if you have them. Epic mayhem uses riwaka and LC bright uses motueka (d and b saaz respectively).

Yeast wise - 1272 if you want a liquid.

Could do an English IPA using fuggles, EKG, first gold, challenger or Target. I've made some using challenger, first gold and EKG (citrussy) and fuggles and ekg (earth/wood/citrus). I've also made a number of bitters using target, ekg and fuggles so that hop combo is OK although I'm wary of the target. Think it can give a harsher quality if used late despite a favourite commercial beer of mine doing so.

If doing UK IPA, 1028, 1098, 1099 are all good yeasts. I like all UK yeasts I've so far tried but those ones for IPA in my experience.

My case swap APA had Citra. So now you've had it.

I've had it in beer before - I mean I've not tried brewing with it.

Your swap was very tasty though.
