American Pale Ale Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale

[Jukas]

This was my first AG brew. I undershot my mash temp and didn't have a hop spider to filter the pellets so I doubt it'll be as clear as I'd like, but it's chugging away in the carboy. Now to try and RDWHAHB for the next 4-8 weeks before I drink it.

I brewed this and love it. I plan on brewing Yooper's House Pale at some point as well, because they are so similar. I guess I'm looking for a house recipe of my own, and trying to decide between light and hop-forward (EW) and more ballanced (Yoop). This one will be hard to top!

This was my first all grain, bottled March 2nd. It took awhile to carb up, probably because I moved it to a secondary. Now that it's getting carbed up I like it. Hoping it gets a little better with age, the hops are a little light. I also have a chill haze, it has a faint haze in the bottle that get worse when chilled. I'm having problems with my boil, the indoor stovetop just isn't getting the job done, so poor hot break = haze? I also figured out how to get a better chill since I made this batch, so I was getting a poor cold break = haze. But... I can live with the haze, or better stated, I can drink through it! This is a great brew! I will work with it until I fix all my problems.

I brewed this as my first AG brew on 2/20. I let it ferment for 17 days. I had an OF of 1.054 and it dropped to 1.012. It has been conditioning for 2 weeks today. I put one in the fridge this morning and just cracked it open. It is a little flat still but the overall taste is very very good. I was wondering if how much longer do you think it will take to finish carbing up?

Thanks for this very simple and very delicious recipe.

I gotta find Yooper's House Pale. I already love Edwort's Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale--I've done it at least 3 times, and it's terrific.

Search for. All-Grain - Da Yooper's House Pale Ale and you'll find it. I'd give yo the direct link, but can't for the life of me figure out how to get the URL when browsing via the iPad app.

I never fail with this - after a few good batches, try a different strain of yeast, or maybe substitute Munich for the Vienna...I have never had a bad batch..

 

[CourtHouseBrewing]

This was such a great hit the first time; I have to see if we can repeat it. Everyone that has tried it loved it.

 

[BrewHaas]

Finally brewed this today. Bubbling after 2 hours with a starter. I can't wait.

 

[oldskooldawgz]

This was my first brew did the all grain for 1/2 a batch nice fine bubbles got a good head but needed more time in fridge

 

[siucubfan]

How long should it stay in the fridge before you drink it have about 3 weeks of conditioning?

 

[oldskooldawgz]

lol it was in the fridge all of 1 day but has been bottled for a month

 

[Labratbrew]

Brewed this today!

Of the awesome recipes you have provided for all of us to use!

I accidentally got a full pound of crystal 10L, which is now mixed in with my 2 pounds of vienna. Should I take out a half pound of the mix or maybe of the 2row to make up for it? Or just go with the extra half pound crystal? I'm sure it'll be fine either way, but this is the first time im using Nottingham yeast (been using 1056, as its the closest I could find), and I wanted to try to get as close to the original as possible.

IMHO, Go for it! Then make a batch with the original and compare it.
In the end you will have beer to drink.

Hey all ive got a quick question for ya....
So i pitched the Nottingham yeast (Dry)
and within the first 24 hours it was very active...
i'm talking airlock bubbling 3-4 bubbles every 1-2 seconds
now (day 2) it is only bubbling about every 15 seconds..
should i be concerned????
pitch more yeast????
This is my first homebrew by myself and am a little worried.

 

[tennesseean_87]

It's probably fine. RDWHAHB.

The beer will be just fine. Things will probably stay that way (slow bubbling) for maybe a day or two more, and then appear to stop completely. However things are still moving along nicely. Do yourself a favor and don't touch it for at least 2 weeks.

Will do. Do you think cold crashing (7days) afterwards then keg?

I personally do not cold crash, I have decent success using whirlfloc, and a 3 week primary. However, I think the consensus is that 3 days or so of a cold crash is enough.

Someone with more experience on CC want to chime in?

As Pdeezy said, I don't think a cold crash is really needed as it gets it while its carbing up in the keg anyway. I just do 3-4 weeks in primary and then keg slow and low.

 

[Ply318ci]

I thought cold crashing was all hype until I did it for 3 days made a huge difference. The trub was super compact at the bottom and the beer (while not crystal clear since I don't use any finnings) is much clearer then any of my previous brews have been. I am currently cold crashing a barleywine probably for longer since I entering my first competition with it.

A long primary and some Irish moss works great for me. Is there any reason you don't use finnings? Kegging also help clarity for me are you bottling?

Just curious...

 

[Ply318ci]

I honestly forgot to buy them for my last few brews. For my next ones I am.

 

[Ply318ci]

Also I am bottling.

I'm having a tough time searching this thread for 'fly sparging'. Apparently it returns all hits on 'sparging', even without 'fly'.

So, this being my first AG batch, and first time testing out my new stand/equipment, should I adjust anything for fly sparging? I have a 10 gallon igloo MLT, with a 2 tier single pump.

This is also my first time using Beersmith... thoroughly confused setting up a mash profile.

Thanks

I second that...
I fly sparge and I use a 10 gallon rubbermaid container for mlt and hlt....

Hmmm after some research I think I am going to try a batch sparge for my first AG because I have a round cooler with a SS braid. I'll need a FB if I want to fly sparge.

I use a $2.00 shower head in my 10 gal cooler. It's called a Sparge-O-Matic.
Works great with a pump. I can clear the wort before transfer very easy.

Nice.
Do loose any heat when mashing?
