American Pale Ale Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale

[JesseRC]

I actually prefer this recipe to SN, but maybe I'm biased. I've got the ingredients for this in my hobby room right now. I'm probably going to be brewing it in the next couple of days. I've made a few changes. I'm going to add .75 oz of willamette split up between 15/5/flame out. I think this will compliment the cascades very well.

I just had some SN with pizza yesterday, and you are correct. This recipe is way better

Brewed another batch of this tonight. I've never gone through kegs of any beer as fast as I go through this recipe.

I got an extra Stout faucet, I'm thinking about doing a nitro on this to have a "pub ale" similar to Boddingtons on tap.

that would be neat.

This was the recipe that I chose as the basis for my first brew with my new equipment (mill, HLT, MLT, etc). I tweaked the hops a bit - all cascade, but did a combination of First-wort hopping and late hopping. Turns out that my new system is very efficient, so I overshot the gravity by about ten points. The Notty yeast still finished out at 1.009. The gravity sample had a great hop flavor and aroma with a firm, but mild bitterness. I can't wait to brew this again following EW's true recipe.

just picked up the ingredients for this one at brewmasterswarehouse.com

my hop schedule had to look like this for my 2.75 gallon batch due to 5.4AA hops, will i still be fairly true to the recipe or should I attack getting my 39 IBU's through a different scheduling. thanks

0.75 oz Cascade [5.40 %] (60 min) Hops 27.8 IBU
0.25 oz Cascade [5.40 %] (30 min) Hops 7.1 IBU
0.20 oz Cascade [5.40 %] (15 min) Hops 3.7 IBU
0.15 oz Cascade [5.40 %] (5 min) Hops 1.1 IBU

Orginal recipe scaled to 2.75 gallons should have looked like this if AA's were 6.6 like edworts

.50oz 60 min
.25oz 30min
.125oz 15min
.125oz 5 min

Will my adjusted hop schedule be ok?

I was using 5.4 AA cascades and some 4.5 willamettes and this is what I came up with.

1.3 oz cascades FWH 60 min
1/2 oz cascades 30 mins
.25 oz cascades 15 min
.25 oz willamette 15 min
.25 oz cascades 5 min
.25 oz willamette 5 min
.25 oz willamette 0 min

Pitched onto a cake of S-05 from an IPA I just finished.

Ibu 39
Og was 1.051 at 5.5 gallons.

The Brewmasters Warehouse recipe calls for 2oz cascade at 60 min. Is this a revision or a mistake?

 

[MilwaukeeBrewGuy]

I think it would depend on what the alpha acid percentage is. The cascades I bought were like 8.7 but need 2 oz at 60 minutes they'd have to be at like 3 percent or so.

Bottled a cornie full of this for my Jeep club holiday party this yesterday. I made a label that used the clubs logo and everybody loved it. I was glad that I left a sixer of at home because it was almost gone when I left at 8pm. It was pretty cool to look around the party and see a bunch people standing around drinking beer that I made

 

[NorthernBrewer09]

My mash was set at the temp you said 152 but by the time I added the grain it went down to like 141 should i add more water to bring it up to 152? Im stumped first time all grainin thanks in advance for the help

152 is the mash temp after the heat loss from adding grains. To adjust for the loss I heat my strike water to 175 to 180F and then place that in my cooler. After the strike water reaches 11 to 12 degrees higher than my mash temp I place the grains in my cooler and stir thoroughly. You want to mix all the grains to make sure there are no dough balls. I then take the temp of the mash and if it is still too high, I continue to stir the mash until it is at the temp I need.

You could add a small amount of boiling water to try and get the mash temp up to 152.

I served the batch I brewed on Christmas Eve this last Friday night after kegging and blast-carbing it on Thursday morning. It was cloudy due to the quick turnaround, but it was absolutely delicious and folks really seemed to enjoy it.

Thanks for the recipe!

Wow. Dude that is just over 2 weeks! Wasn't it green tasting?

I brewed mine on the 12th and i think it is still green.

lol I've drank mine on the 11th or 12th day. This beer is a beer that's capable of being turned around fast because the hops mask a lot of the green flavors.

 

[Bdogg]

I bottled this on Dec 9th and have been flying through it. I kicked up the IBUs a bit and it tastes piney, citrusy, grassy... anyway, it's great. The longer I keep it in the fridge the more it smooths out. Will need to make more soon. Thanks!

 

[waldoar15]

It warmed up above freezing today, so I made my first batch of this.

 

[Teufelhunden]

Just cracked one open after one week, still really green, but man what a beer!
If this is this good after a week I cant hardly wait a couple of more weeks. I think I will have another right now. Ed Wort, your my hero.

 

[snail]

I brewed this weekend, it was my 2nd all grain. The 1st I got the recipe from the LHBS and the crush sucked as well as my efficiency. Ordered this reciped from Brewmasters Warehouse and the crush rocked as well as my efficiency. I actually overshot the OG getting 85%. Beer will probably end up a little more sweet and a little less hoppy but should be good. Thanks Ed and BMW!

It definitely had a slight yeast-bite, but the overwhelming comment I got was, "Wow! This tastes like you fresh-hopped it!"

Amen to that. The hops are pronounced when it's young, and then mellow as the beer ages. Although, I'll admit I've never been able to keep a keg of this around for longer than about 3 weeks!

 

[Bdogg]

I have had this bottled for awhile at room temp. What I was doing was throwing 4 or 5 in the fridge and then drinking them that week. Recently I put about 18 in the fridge and then had to go out of town for work for a couple weeks - got back and cracked one open, the cold conditioning took the flavor of this beer from good to great. Lesson learned.

 

[Token]

I'd like to brew a half batch of the extract version of this. Do I cut everything except the yeast in half? Mostly I'm wondering about the hops. Cut them in half? Since it will be a half batch, I'll be doing a full boil.

Also, are we good to go with Notty again?

Thanks in advance for the advice folks!

 

[philrose]

The Notty at my LHBS has performed perfectly.

Half everything. Measuring half a package of yeast wouldn't really make sense, might as well just pitch the whole lot as you mentioned.

 

[Jbt]

I am on my second keg on this!!! Excellent Recipe!! :rockin:

 

[MilwaukeeBrewGuy]

At almost 8 weeks this beer is awesome. Everything about it is good. Aroma, body, taste, and awesome head retention. I have tasted this all along the way and it is amazing how much this beer changes over time.

 

[shelly_belly]

Sigh..., last pint of my first all grain. Exceeded all expectations. Edwort, thank you very much.

Brewed 2009/10/25 OG=1.055
Kegged 2009/11/07 FG=1.012
Died 2010/02/07

 

[Token]

Does this end up being a real sweet beer?

 

[shelly_belly]

Mine wasn't sweet at all. In between dry to semi-dry.
