I took a shot at brewing a pale ale with WLP 029 last Monday, and it's happily fermenting away now. Here's what I came up with for a 10 gallon batch:
Sasquatch Pale Ale (brewed the weekend of Sasquatch Music Festival here in Washington)
5lb 2-Row
5lb White Wheat
3.5lb Belgian Pilsner
2lb Munich 10L
2lb Maris Otter
0.5lb CaraFoam
0.5lb CaraPils
0.5lb Crystal 20
0.5oz Chinook @ FWH
0.25oz Columbus @ 50 min
0.5oz Chinook @ 30 min
0.5oz Ekuanot @ 15 min
1oz Loral @ 10 min
1oz Amarillo @ 5 min
1.5oz Loral @ 0 min
OG came in at 1.054 for a 10 gallon batch. Brewer's Friend calls it 47 IBU.
The homebrew store was closed over Memorial weekend, so I made a recipe out of what I had. I also wanted to use some hops I haven't tried yet.
The smell coming from the fermenters is great. I'll likely do a dry hop, just not quite sure whether to pick one variety of hops to use, or some combination of what I put in the boil. I think WLP 029 can accentuate hops quite a bit, so I don't want to overdo it and end up with a beer that's all hops and no malt.
