I'm just starting out and wanted to do a simple pale ale that I can grow from.

Using ProMash I came up with this really simple American style pale ale but needed to know what you guys think and will it work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

looks good, but id move that 25min addition to 15-20mins to gain some more flavor from it.

what yeast you thinking?

You know I almost went with Nottingham, but at the last min decided to get the wyeast 1056

I'm going for a clean, crisp classic pale ale, easy to drink.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. My limited knowledge says so anyways.

Yea it looks like it will just looking for suggestions, I took the one of changing the hops from 25 to 15. going to bring the IBU down to 31.3.

Looking to keep the IBU around 35.

Should I dry hop with centennial instead?

Is this Yeast ok? should I have gone with the nottingham as originally planned?

dcp27 · 02-16-2011, 01:44 AM

either would be perfectly fine. Personally I like S-05 better than both, but its basically the same as 1056

for the dry hop, go with whichever smells better to u or mix them if you cant decide

oh btw, you didnt list the C60 weight, but apparently is 9oz

Yeah half pound for the C60 I corrected that, thanks!

Good idea on the dry hop, how much should I use?
