I just decided to brew a American Pale Ale for my next batch. Jeff at my LHBS recommended this recipe to me. He says that it is a clone of BJ Brewery Piranha Pale Ale. I have drank a few down there and love their beers so I thought that I might give it a try. After looking on the websight I saw that they listed wheat in the malts.....hmmm. Anywho here is the recipe.
1lb 2-Row Brewers Malt Cargill -- 1.6L
.5lb Great Western 40L Crystal Malt
.5lb Breiss Carapils/Dextrine Malt
6lb DME (Coopers)
1oz Chinook Pellet Hops (60min) 12.1%AA
1oz Cascade Pellet Hops (15min) 6.0%AA
1oz Cascade Pellet Hops (2min) 6.0%AA
Wyeast #1098 British Ale
I was thinking of only adding 3/4oz of the Chinook due to the high Alpha Acid of this strain. I don't want this one to be too bitter. I also may take down the Cascade a little and dry hop the secondary. Any thoughts?
