Why do you add sweetener to your beer? Is it because the hibiscus is sour? Or simply for the style. Could you manage to have residual sugar instead of adding stuff

To the brewers on this thread that tried to clone the La Folie, Rodenbach GC or Duchesse. Does anyone has a proven recipe that they would be willing to share? You can send me a message if you do not want to share with all the folks on HBT. I really enjoy Sour Beer and want to develop my own but...

I have always brewed All-Grain and here is my partial mash recipe for an APA. I do not want it to be too bitter but would like good flavor and aromas from the centennial and amarillo hops. What do you think of this recipe? Your feedback is greatly appreciated cheers! atley Acres Pale...

thanks tennesse! I use Beer Tool so I can figure out the amount of grain to replace the LME. Just hope my indoor kettle is big enough. just hope I'll get the gravity point. If I take a gravity reading after 1 hour and realize it,s too low. Can I add some LME? s

It is too cold in Montreal to brew all grain so I'll try a partial mash for the first time. Can't find a Munich LME...what can I do since Vienna should be mashed? I heard that if you mix the vienna with some 2-row then it would work....can you help? thanks

I usually brew all grain but it is very cold at this time of the year in Montreal. Anyone has a partial mash version of the Mirror Pond clone? s

Hi Yooper, I always brew all grain. Now it's too cold in Quebec so I will brew partial mash. Was looking at this recipe but have a question about steeping speciality grains such as munich.. I thought these needed to me mashed. Can you explain this? Should I add a bit of 2-row to the specialty...

Any updates from brewers that used the RIngwood? Planning to brew this clone this week-end. thanks

How did it turned out? Did the hibiscus brought a bit of sourness to the beer? Would you say it fit a wit better?

Just curious how it turned out? Was it slightly sour like the one from Dieu du ciel? Did you dry hopped with Hibiscus? Do you think a tea would be a better idea for flavour and a bit at flame out for the color? Let me know I also want to clone this

Hi! Can't find Simcoe but I do have the Amarillo. What other hop would complement the Amarillo well? Centennial? Cascade? What would you use? thanks

Did you brew this beer? How did it turned out? I am planning a Pale Ale soon and looking at different hops. This is a combination I was looking at (Summit and Amarillo) Did you like it? Do they go well together? I have Vienna in mine however and a bit more crystal (5%). I would love ot have...

thanks; I guess I could use Warrior. I might tweak the grain bill a bit and increase the Crystal to 40L and slightly remove some of the Victory not to go over 230g...don't want to get too close of a amber beer flavor profile

What do you guys think of the Wheat Flakes? Should I just take them out? I understand they are not necessary in an APA...

Thanks keffa. Your reco makes a lot if sense and is welcomed! I will adjust the hop schedule.

okay! I have modified the recipe based on the comments I got. I hear you say that this is an entire new recipe :confused: Well...may be ;-) Anyhow Let me know what you think of this. I have changed the toasted malt by Munich have increased the Crystal to 20L and have included some victory malt...

This beer looks delicious! This is the darkest I would go for my APA. I would prefer 1-2 SRM less than the LW......but man this is a beautiful color!:fro:

Thanks for your feedback. Beer tool pro gave me these numbers. But I trust you guys; I don't want this to be too pale...... Should I be using a higher lovibond Crystal, like 40L may be? I definitely want malt flavor but not too much caramel flavor. what can I do? Should I lower the 2-row...

Hey, I am fairly new to beer brewing. I am brewing all grains and have completed 5 batches so far. Now that I manage my equipment better and have gained knowledge on the basics of beer brewing I am working on developing my own recipes. I have looked at many recipes for APA, read the book...

Well your recipe looks like a good grain bill for an APA. The hops and ibu are missing however... Changing the pilsner malt for 2 row brought you more towards an APA. Good luck.
