American Pale Ale Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale

[Robar]

Just pitched the Notty on this a half hour ago. Always loved this beer!

Hit the OG spot on at 1.051

 

[jeetaman]

So I made it through 40 pages before my eyes glossed over and I nearly passed out....
Are there any significant revisions to the original recipe? Looking to brew this tomorrow and I just can't finish the last 250 pages....

I've read this thread off and on for almost 2 years.
Only change I make when I brew (and it's noted in the OP) is I use US-05.

I just tasted mine. It has Munich extract instead of Vienna, Crystal 20 instead of 10, Amarillo instead of Cascade. It's good, maltier than I expected. My wife says it is my best brew yet. (I'm only brewing 11 months, 7 grain batches)

Hehe, so the only ingredient you have from the original recipe is the 2-row?

Munich will make it maltier than vienna. Crystal 20 instead of 10 will make it taste maltier as well.

Well, use what you got!

Oct 25th was the 5th time that I've brewed this recipe. This time, I changed the recipe a bit. I wanted to combine the grain bill of this recipe with the hop additions of BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde. For an 11 gal batch, I went with:

1 oz Cenntennial 60 min
1 oz Cenntennial 30 min
1 oz Cascade 15 min
1 oz Cascade 5 min

OG: 1.053
FG: 1.007
US-05

2 weeks primary, 2 days crashed cold, kegged with gelatin yesterday. Beer sample was fantastic!

I'll report once the beer is carbonated.

Just picked up the supplies to do this, it sounds like a great pale ale. I'm new to all grain and accidentally had the lhbs grind and extra 1/2 lb of Crystal 10 (for a total of 1 pound) into this. My suspicion is that I shouldn't worry - but would you recommend I compensate with additional base grain/hops/etc?

 

[tihs]

I have it sitting in fermenter about 8 days in at 60° and slowly raising temp to 70°. Can't wait to keg it. Might dry hop in keg with .75oz of cascade.

You probably shouldn't worry. But you might up your hops a little.

 

[cublue]

This.
It'll be a little sweeter, darker, and more alcohol. But upping any grains to cut that sweetness will just add to the alcohol and throw more flavors off a touch, but not too much. Relax and go with it...most of us have miscalculated an ingredient at some point. You might like the new beer you created! but a couple extra hop pellets in the bittering addition won't hurt.

 

[bredle]

Great - I like the answers and may toss in a few extra hop pellets, but other than that will go with what I have. Thanks!

 

[MrFeltimo]

Brewed this today, I will keep you updated, thanks for the receipe.

 

[jeetaman]

Does anyone put this in a secondary, or just crash in the primary?

 

[NickTheGreat]

I've made several batches of this and haven't used a secondary. Of course, I don't put much of anything in the secondary. But I've seen nothing to make me think it's necessary with this one.

 

[Culbetron]

This beer takes about 20 minutes to ferment. No idea why you'd want to secondary unless you were dry hopping.

 

[Jupapabear]

Brewing this right now.

 

[JohnSand]

You won't be sorry.

 

[Jupapabear]

OG 1.042. Not sure what I was aiming for but there it is. I can't wait to bottle. Hey maybe I'll score a good deal on the parts for the kegerator I'm piecing together and might get to go straight to keg.

 

[JohnSand]

You were shooting for 1.051. Did you correct your hydrometer for temp? If I were off by ten points, I'd add some LME to compensate. If it's late for that, fear not, it will still be beer, and probably pretty good.

 

[Jupapabear]

Ah. Well this is my second brew. I need to figure out where I'm slacking. Looks like I need to drink up and try again.

Beer has carbonated, at about 6%, it has nice bitterness and wonderful aroma. If I didn't know better, I would call it an IPA.

 

[Culbetron]

Mine is good. Nice and refreshing and easy drinking. It's got some pretty serious chill haze though. I think it's because of letting too much trub into the primary from the kettle, not using whirlfloc, and not getting a vigorous enough boil (didn't use my heatstick on this batch). It doesn't affect the taste though. It's a great beer. If I do this again I'll dry hop to increase the aroma.

 

[wyowolf]

new twist, or experiment...

7lbs weyermann Pils
7 Marris Otter
4 lbs Munich
1 lb crystal 20L

1 ou Citra
3 ou Cascade

this is just what I had on hand.. going to split into two 5 gal and see what i get using Notty and 05 to taste the differences...

thoughts?

 

[MrFeltimo]

UPDATE
36 hours in, had to change airlock twice then went to blow off tube,( this yeast is a beast).
11 days in, final gravity at 1,010, now cold crashing, will bottle and sample on Sunday.
Stay posted.

 

[JohnSand]

I split a batch between Notty and 05. The 05 fermented to a couple of points lower, it's drier and hoppier.
I served them at Thanksgiving, received wide approval.

 

[bredle]

My brew day just began with this one. If it's anything like Ed's Robust Porter, I'm in for a good beer!

 

[Jupapabear]

Just kegged.

 

[donbarbucio]

I love this brew!

 

[NewkyBrown]

Gonna brew this for the first time tomorrow before the temp drops to -5F next week....Damn cold and snow!
