Xxxx Summer Clone

[Milky11111]

This beer came out probably a year ago now? I don't know if it's still made, even if it is it isn't availble around my area. It's a very light flavoured Lager, serve at 2*C and drink in 2.0sec. Has anyone made viable recipe cloning this? If so can they please share it?

Oh dear this is not going to end nice :huh:

I can't help with a recipe but someone may be able to if you expand on what level of brewing you are at.

Kit, partial, AG etc.

I am more than happy with this recipe. The third keg should be ready to go by the time I get home friday.

i just typed that bradsbrew but then thought i should stay out.

I suppose before there's a heap of posts saying to bottle cat/homeless person/zebra piss... if i was going to attempt this i would go

3kg pilsner
1.5kg boiled rice
mashed at like 63C

super alpha (or another clean bittering hop) to 18IBU's

s189 yeast because i've heard its clean

Edited to add ~ I started writing this and then got distracted for a little while so there's new posts that contain recipes. I haven't tried the above recipe, its just what i would try if i was inclined to do so.

 

[manticle]

It's a lo-carb beer so dry enzyme would surely form a part of any recipe?

Why the Munich and Vienna Brad?

 

[Milky11111]

Yeah I'm still using kits sorry I forgot to mention that initially.

 

[bradsbrew]

Why the Munich and Vienna Brad?

Yeah probably no where near the XXXX summer ale! But this is a bloody good aussie style mid strenght lager which has worked IMHO.
Haysie I thought the munich and vienna would add malty balance to the lower gravity beer. I am pretty happy with it and hopefully you will get to try it one day soon B)

Cheers

Way :icon_offtopic:

Hey Brad, i haven't got my beersmith file in front of me. Hops aside, that's pretty close grain bill to Smurto's Golden innit??

Light Golden Ale/Lager perhaps.....bet it's tasty as........

Haven't used Aurora before, any good???

sorry for the off topic, carry on gentlemen....

Not sure Nath havn't tried Smurto's Golden. Aurora is a beautiful hop, works well in lagers and english ales.

Funny you have come up with that recipe for a low gravity beer

The MIDAPA2 I made on the weekend (recipe I drew up from scratch while at work without beersmith or any recipes)
8.00kg Pale (47.06%)
5.00kg Munich Malt (29.41%)
2.00kg Vienna Malt (11.76%)
1.00kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (5.88%)
1.00kg Wheat Malt (5.88%)

On topic, for the OP

Probably a good kit version would be a Canadian Blonde plus a pack of Coopers brew enhancer #1, but ditch the kit yeast and use a yeast that will drive the gravity right down, such as Nottingham yeast, and ferment at around 16 degrees to get the beer clean in flavour.

 

[Strange Brew]

I would use a lager yeast seeing as you are trying to make a lager and ale yeasts will likely add a flavour that your not looking for. Wyeast 2035 American Lager has a resonably high attenuation. You would need to ferment below 13deg though but thats lagering for you.

I would grab a can of Coopers Lager kit (1.7kg) as its lower bitterness will give you a more balanced BU/GU which is probably a lot to do with the speed at which you can drink it. Then add 1kg coopers brew enhancer 2 so you at least have some body. Make to 25 litres (not 23 as you normally would). Prime with 180g of dextrose and bottle.

Stats are:
Batch Size = 25L
OG = 1.039
FG = 1.006
Alc% = 4.2 after bottling (which is what XXXX summer is)
EBC = 3.5 (which having seen XXXX summer in the bottle would be close)
IBU = 21
BU/GU = 0.5

Turn the fridge right down and place in freezer 20-30 mins before drinking, open gullet and pour straight into stomach.

Thanks for the recipes, much appreciated.
