3-way pale ale

[m1k3]

This is my recipe for brewing this Saturday. I've done split batched before so I am pretty sure I can pull this off.

This has all the same malt bill and kettle hop additions.

Feedback appreciated!

So the only difference is the yeast and that you dry hop the Amber? I'm gonna have to think about this for a while to decide if you're a genius or a nutter but I have to give you a +1 for creativity.

What's the IBU's?

The esb and amber might be fairly similar... But I could be wrong go for it!

Seems like it will be maltier than a Pale... Go for it. Let us know what it's like.

Thanks... I know that I'm not exactly in the BJCP guidelines.

Maybe dry hopping with Cascade would get me closer to an APA than Amber. I also could bomb it with Citra and try to pass it off as an IPA.

This is the final plan to make 3 "different" pale ales from one mash today! 3-3-2012

Belg. pale might come out a bit dark, but who cares! Looks good....

I like how you think. Thumbs up for wicked labor savings and the love given to proper yeast selection.

I've done this several times; it's a great way to see what different yeasts do, and to get multiple beers from one brewday. One twist I've added lately is to boil the bittering hops only. Immediately after the boil, I pour half the wort into a 3 gallon pot and add my flavoring hops to each batch when cooled to 190F. I just let the hops steep until the temp drops below 150 or so, then chill as I normally would. My first beer done this way has great hop flavor and aroma without much bitterness.

That's a good idea to use one bitteing hop and then split.
