I did a partial mash version of this tonight with 5.5 lbs of grain (2 of Vienna, .5 of Crystal 40) and 3 lbs light DME.

I have a question though. When I put these ingredients into Beer Calculus with the same hops (1 oz Cascade 6.4% at 60, 1/2 at 30, 1/4 at 15, 1/4 at 2) from the recipe I get IBU of something like 27. I am curious why the difference?

Hello Ed,

My pale ale has a kind of tart finish (maybe it is just bitter but with only 2 oz of hops I'm surprised). I'm thinking maybe I sparge too hot at around 180 and it is getting astringent from tannins. How likely is that? What else might give it this bite. It is not like hop bitter at the beginning, it is in the finish. This is very drinkable but I'm just trying to figure out how to make better beer. Any ideas?

PS: should have mentioned that is a fly sparge that takes about 37-40 minutes to get 7 gallons total from the MLT so I"m thinking the 180 drops a fair amount as it pushed the 152 water through.

Well, I am in secondary with my second batch of Haus Pale ale. I was a little disappointed with my first attempt. This was my fault and no disrespect to your recipe, more my water and racking procedures to blame. I had weak fermentation, real cloudy beer, and lots of sediment. I also thought it could use a little more hops. So I made it again, I added about .25 ounce more hops per schedule, and dry hopped it with .75 ounce cascades. I made a yeast starter out of the slurry I harvested from the first beer (which was my first all grain) and fermentation was a blast off. I named it dirty pale ale due to all the yeast stuck to my fermenter. I used some irish moss in attempt to clear it, I added gelatin to secondary in attempt to clear it, and I think this will come out completely awsome.

This is a pic of my dry hopping secondary. 72 hours after racking, 24 hours after gelatin. Hopefully that gelatin knocks out that haze so the rest looks like the top. The pics dont do it justice, I can read my ale pail through the top 1/4 of that secondary. I opened the window to drop temps in the room some, so hopefully it clears real good, its about 66 in there now.

After a week under pressure, we broke into the keg for a taste.....



OMG......


That beer tastes great!

It didn't come out crystal clear, I'm sure another week or two will help that.

Ours came out a bit stonger than it should have....No prob

We've allready decided to brew another, except this time we'll tone down the grain bill to the original recipe.

Disregard all the above. A couple more days in the keg and this is my best yet.

I needed to be patient...

Thanks Ed!

I was about to reply about your "green" beer, but you figured it out already.

Congrats! Patience rewards those who wait.
