Brewed a PM version of this and love it. Fiance loves it. Soon to be father in law loves it. My uncle hates it. (Natty light drinker!).
I did forget to dry-hop it though. I'll try that next time.
what is speiss? Never heard of it
I stopped reading this thread as soon as I saw a pic with a magazine featuring Oprah on the cover(first post)... just doesn't seem right no matter how good the bier is or how many post the thread has!
Schlante,

What can I say, the wife reads Oprah while drinking.
You save some wort from brewday and add it back to carb when bottling/kegging, rather than corn sugar or force carbing.

Thanks for the reply. My spelling was off. It should be spelled SPEISE.
Has anyone won/placed in competition with this brew?
That brought up a question in my mind. Do you have a preferred serving temperature? My wife tends to like my ales colder and I tend to go warmer. Right now I put my 2 kegs in the kegerator at 55F, but I'll probably cool it down a bit from there.
Ok Thanks. I think I will go with 2lbs of Caramel.I did a Marris Otter/Cascades SMaSH right after this brew and they were amazingly similar, at least the malt profile anyway. You'll still have a great brew if you can't get the vienna. I'd sub either more crystal or more MO.
Edit: Just saw that your doing PM. I'd probably add in some MO, and maybe a little more crystal then called for. Then just adjust the OG to give you something you like. This was really good at just over 6% ABV, but would be good with either more or less IMHO. Just depends on personal preference. And i don't have any experience with Windsor, but I'd say go w/ what you have on hand, i know nottingham turned out great.
Edit 2: Keg Temp... I keep my keezer around 42F for everything. I found it a good temp for this beer, and it tastes great as it warms. This is definitely a refreshing beer. I think this one is pretty flexible with the temp, more so than many other beers.
Thanks! from the creator himself - thats what I went with.I'd go Notty if that was my choice.

Well I just transfered this recipe to secondary. The taste was amazing. Best tasting beer out of primary I have made. SWMBO brought me back to earth and said there is lots of time for the taste to change. I didn't bother explaining it being a lighter hoppier beer and needing to be drank before the flavor disappeared. This beer is not going to last long once I bottle it.
Brewed up a 12g batch of this this morning. I changed up the grain bill a bit, but the hop additions, orange, and corianer remained. I'll bet it's good.
It's on. I'll bet you can drink more COAPA than me.
ii brewed this back in april and loved it so much. im definately going to make it again soon. I just bought ingredients to make anderson valleys summer solstice and am having second thoughts on it. that recipe calls for 2 row and crystal 40 and crystal 80. i was thinking of making this orange pale ale with the 2row and crystal 40. how comparable is 2row to maris otter? i think it would work with minimal differences in flavor. thoughts?
I cleaned out my keg that had this in it last Saturday. I hop in the keg and the hop bag smelled wonderful. Of course, I use my home grown Cascades.
