What's Your Go-To Pale Ale Recipe?

[Mat]

Haven't tried London Fog but that's next on my to do list for an NEIPA. Apparently pretty popular strain.

Cool, let us know how it goes. I'll probably have a crack at a NEIPA in the next month or two.

Start saving those pennies!

Haha I reckon.
The recipe i'm eyeing off has just shy of 400g of hops for a 21L batch.

I haven't brewed this yet. I have all the ingredients to do it this weekend.

Yeah sorry 45L. 36IBU, 7.2EBC 4.6%. It did scale a bit weird when I went up from 21L using beersmith

I normally use S-04 but have also tried this with WLP041 and WLP051 - all been good so just trying something else. I'm using a chiller and pressure fermenting in a keg, both for the first time too.. :O

Oh, nice, hope it turns out well, be interested to know your thoughts about the BB Pale (I've not used it myself). I don't have a pic sorry, I thought I had taken photos but can't see any on my phone, I'm getting close to the end of the keg so I'll pour one on Friday/Saturday night (I don't drink Sun-Thurs), and try to remember to take a pic! Cheers!

Thanks mate

Was that enough dry hops would you add more next time? And was wondering if you got much of a haze from the early dry hop

Got any more details? Your pic only shows malt/hop amounts, no other details like batch size, IBUs, ABV etc.,

I only got about 35L.
36IBU, 7.2EBC 4.6%. I recommend giving it ago.

A few things not right with your numbers, at 35L it puts it around 6.3% ABV (based on 73% efficiency). Additionally, your flameout addition of Citra says it contributes 0 IBUs.. that's not right either unless it's an aroma steep below 80 degrees, even then I'm still getting around mid 50 IBUs with those amounts based on 45L into the fermenter.

Anyway, I've juggled things around and threw a touch of light crystal in there, do you think this will be alright/close..?

I just keep coming back to this. The version before this I was just using a bit of light crystal. It all works. Also works well as a SMASH. The base in this is marris otter but I have also used Gladfieds ale and traditional ale malt with great success

Yes you are right. The original was about 47 IBU. It was meant to be a 45L batch but due to losses I ended up with 35L to keg.
I really enjoy the mosaic in this beer so maybe up the mosaic 15min addition and equally the 5min galaxy. The flameout addition was added at about 82deg in a hop spider for about 20min. It will really depend on your preference with how high you want the IBU.
I find the later additions give this beer a great hoppy balance without being to bitter. Note: my brewing processes are evolving so volumes vary and record keeping is not the best
