whats the longest anyone has had to wait before it started to ferment..

@ 14 hours here.. I just sprinkled it on top.. didnt mix it, and it hasnt taken off yet..

not worried.. just wondering.

 

[newguy]

Well Ed I think I'm going to follow suit and brew your pale for my first AG. When I first found HBtalk the first recipe I did from the site was your applewein so why not a AG pale ale

Cheers,

Thanks! I feel honored that so many are popping their AG cherry with my Haus Pale Ale. Not to worry, it's a gentle beer.

Should be going by now. Most of mine, I finish late in the afternoon and by morning they are cranking.

My last batch, my recirculating chiller worked so well as I brought it down to 66 degrees, I pitched the hydrated yeast into my 2 buckets and put them in the chest freezer with the temp set to 65. Next morning they were going gangbusters.

 

[aekdbbop]

cool.. it is going now.. it took about 14 hours to start to take off..

now it is going crazy...

I'm giving your Haus Pale Ale a go tomorrow Ed for my first All Grain brew as well! I'm hopeful that this turns out as good as the one in the pic you posted looks!! Thanks for sharing!

Well Ed I'm a fan of Cascade in moderation. your recipe looks simple, single infusion. I'm going to increase simplicity and batch sparge. Honestly I'm more a fan of English beers, but a while back at my buddies house (the guy who showed me how to home-brew)He had a very fine American pale ale using cascade hops. I thought it might be fun to try out this style again.

I'll be picking up my grain bill on Tues and hopefully brewing this up at the end of the month for my birthday!


Cheers,

Like a lot of others, I decided to try my first all grain with your recipe. It's currently fermenting away. Thanks!

 

[jacobyhale]

Mine is bubbling furiously this morning as well! Thanks a ton Ed! I can't believe how good this tasted pre-fermentation!!!

Since I am not kegging and can't crash cool, should I let this clear in a secondary after primary is done?

If you want. I would leave it on the yeast for at least 10 days if you are going to do that and be very carefull with your sanitation. Secondaries add a second chance at infection IMHO.

 

[jacobyhale]

So better off probably just going straight from Primary to Bottles?

If it's pretty clear, then go ahead. Just don't rouse the yeast up too much.

I ferment in buckets with spigots, so I never get to see my beer ferment, much less clear. I just dropped the temp in my fermenter to 39 degrees on my last batch that was fermenting 9 days at 65 degrees. I'm experimenting with temps.

 

[jacobyhale]

Yeah, I am probably coming into a free IceCream cooler from work. So hopefully I'll have some temp control possibilities for my next batch! What do you use for cold conditioning?

Well went and got my grain bill and hops today. Was wondering Ed have you ever tried this recipe with Safale US-05? Was wondering I always keep plenty of Nottingham's on supply but I've been hearing some good things about these dry Safale yeasts. A friend really like the Us-05 in his American pale so I thought about maybe trying it. I picked a couple up from the LHBS to try them out. Oh also a packet of the Safale lager yeast as well. All-grain = Awesome pilsner!!

Ed, anyone,? with any experience with this yeast in this recipe?

Hey Ed!
My first all grain will be this Saturday night and I am pretty sure Ed's Haus Pale Ale is an HBT required first all grain. The Apfelwein was great (drunk about 8 gallons so far) so why not.

So far this year I have made a bunch of extract beer with steeping grains. the last 5 batches have been partial mashes with a little extract added. Time for all grain. Thanks Ed and all you other HBT dudes. I have learned a lot... You can't learn this stuff from the LHBS.

I think Yooper made with with Safale-05 and I have 5 gallons in a keg made with Safale-05, but I have not yet tried it. It's waiting for the nottingham keg to finish. I think Yooper really liked it with Safale-05 though.

 

[newguy]

ok well I think I'm going to give it a shot. I'll make sure to post some pics of the fun! Thanks again Ed!

Cheers.

Ed,

Put me on the list of AG virgins starting with your recipe. Unfortunately my LHBS did not have Cascades (supposedly due to the great hops crisis) but recommended all amarillo. I like hoppy beers, so hopefully this won't be overkill.

Keep the IBUs in range, and you will be fine. Good luck!

 

[Hopleaf]

I brewed this this past weekend, can't wait to try it!

Same here. I was able to borrow 3oz of Cascade from the brewpub

Brewed this for the first time several weeks ago and took the first sample from the keg tonight. WOW! This is great - one of the best tasting beers I've ever brewed. I'm going to go ahead and brew this again now because this won't last long at all! Thanks Ed for the great recipe!

Cool. Glad you like it. I try to keep 10 gallons in reserve all the time.

 

[mrk305]

Wow! That fermented quick. First all grain batch and think this recipe is required for HBT members first all grain. Pitched yeast Sunday morning around 6 a.m. (yeah, an all nighter) and now Tuesday evening it is no longer bubbling. I tapped my lid to make sure it was still airtight and got a couple bubbles and the thingy in the airlock slowly rose back up to the top. I am still going to let it finish for two full weeks.

This beer just took my AG virginity too.
Missed the target temp and overthinned the mash correcting, but magically it seems okay anyway. Smelled great going into the fermentor, 3h lagtime. Can't wait.

Hey Ed, I'm making this today w/ centennial hops with an AA% of 9.6%....how much should I adjust the amount of hops I use to compensate for the difference in AA%?

Is there a linky around here that will help do this for me?

I'd cut back each addition by about a 3rd, so for 5 gallons it would be.

20g at 60
10g at 30
5g at 15
5g at 5

I hope you have a scale that measures in grams.

 

[todd_k]

it's that easy, huh? What about dry hopping? I don't see that in the original recipe but do you do it?

 

[todd_k]

this one is in the books, pitched the yeast about 5 hours ago. Everything went smooth....

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

Noob question. So if I want to mash at 152 like in the recipe what temp should my strike water be in order to hit 152?
