Pale Ale Recipes

chibrewingco · Jan 1, 2010

Can anyone recommend a pale ale recipe that would result in a taste similar to Sierra Nevada pale ale? This would be my 4th batch since starting homebrewing and I'm looking to get creative.

Thanks & Happy New Year

Welcome to the forum.

If you have a copy of Clone Brews it's on page 157.

I have a copy of clone brews. I will check when I get home and post it for you if you dont find it.

I have this one sitting in primary. Can't say how it compares yet.

I'm going to bottle it in SNPA bottles in two more weeks. Then after it's conditioned buy a six of real SNPA, remove the labels, cool and do a blind test. I'll have the wife number them so only she will know what is what.

If you need a extract version here it is, I have not tasted it yet, as it has one more week in the primary, but it smells awsome.

Just bottled this one Sunday. Tasted pretty good all flat and green. Pretty hoppy, but that will fade with the conditioning. Color looked pretty good. I will report back in three weeks as to how it conditioned. One note. I did not use a secondary, just left it in the primary for four weeks to let the yeasties do what they do best. :mug:
