Did an LC Bright Ale inspired recipe yesterday as my Australia Day AG Brew. Made being stuck at home on Oz Day (we have a newborn) bearable Tasted pretty good going into the fermenter.

0.6kg Weyermann Vienna
0.4kg JW Light Munich
3kg JW Pils
1kg JW Wheat

Mash @ 65C for 1hr

Hops: Columbus 06/Magnum 06 (bittering), Columbus 06/Amarillo 05/06 (flavour/aroma)

Fermented with US56/S-33 mix, using up some old yeast packets.

Might do an AIPA and dump it on the yeast cake of this one.

 

[Barry]

G'day everyone

thought i would add a little input to this thread.

bottled my latest brew yesterday, then put on another today. They are as follows:

american pale ale

3.00 kg Light Dry Extract
200g light crystal malt (80ebc)
10g POR & 15g golden cluster for 60min
15g cascade & 10g golden cluster for 30min
10g cascade for 5min

made up to 25L fermented with US-56 yeast.
OG: 1045
FG: 1010

then today i did a quick twocan brew

2x1.7kg farmland draught kits
150g light crystal (80ebc)
15g EKG for 30min
10g EKG for 5min
1kg coopers brew enhancer no1 I had laying around (750g dextrose and 250g maltodextrin iirc)

made up to 25L and fermented with safale s-04

OG: 1058

just wanted something quick and easy, and the prehopped extract cans are cheeper than regular liquid malt for me hopefully it should turn out alright. nice and bitter, and the EKG should give it some good flavour and aroma.

 

[Fingerlickin_B]

I did a ver simple all-Pilsener malt APA some time back that went like this:

5kg Pilsener Malt
25g Chinook for 60 min
25g Cascade for 15 min
25g Cascade at 0 min

It was very nice (ask Steve).

I was thinking about doing it again today (in fact I'm just about to mash in), but with some changes.

Traditional Ale Malt instead of Pilsener and subsituting the last Cascade addition with Amarillo.

Any thoughts?

PZ.

sounds good ya mongrel! wish I was at home! Id put the amarillo in the middle and leave cascade for the last addition. Cascade aroma is wonderful. Dont forget the whirlfloc and polyclar in this one? What yeast?
Cheers

[Fingerlickin_B]

Heya Steve,

Yeah, got Whirfloc!

US-56 yeast...good idea with the hops...always worth asking on here!

athanum at 5g/L @ 10 & 1.

:beerbang:

Would mind hearing how this turns out, Ive been meaning to give Ahtanum a go for a while.

 

[Stuster]

Good to hear you're brewing, Jayse. :super:

Good, simple recipe. I'd like to know how the Ahtanum goes as well since I've got some to use.

 

[warrenlw63]

Love the Cara Wheat too. Made an Aust. Sparkling Ale style a while ago with some. Gives a different character to the usual Crystal Malts that's a little distinctive. :beerbang:

[jayse]

Afternoon brewers,

That should read 1g/L, 5g/L is way out of my league.

I have used athunam before a couple times in american brown ales and they were fantastic. It was a while back now but I remember thinking they were a more subtle american hop with certain english hop characters. Those ones i used back then were old cheapo hops though and am predicting a slight different result with these rossco ones. Those american browns though to this day are a couple of the best brews I have done.

Anyway i'll let you know what this lot are like, I'am sure they will rock. :super:

Carawheat is lovely warren, I find its a much more subtle crystal malt at 120 odd ebc it its much tamer than crystal malts of similar colour. Can't really discribe the flavours from memory much more than that though.

Damn its good to be a brewer again. B)

It's a double brew day today for me, I've just mashed in a Cascade Pale Ale, a very pale one this with a colour of 4.8SRM and following that an American Amber bittered with simcoe with additions of amerillo and cascade to finish off.
