Has anyone done this with a saison yeast? Any reactions on how something like this might turn out?

I liked it a lot when I made it per the original recipe - seems like making a saison would be a great mix of flavors...

Hello I am going to brew this for the 2nd time as I believe I may have fermented at too high a temp my first time.I just wanted to check on the malt before I order the grains.Is this 2 row malt (1.7-2L) the same as 2 row pale malt suggested in the recipie and if not would it make much difference if I used it.

thanks.

You'll be fine using that grain. The difference may only be 1-2L. You won't notice a difference. It may be a tad lighter, but since there's other malts in here you won't be able to tell. Its practically the same grain.

To anyone who has made this before in the past did you all cold crash after 10 days or did you let it sit in the primary a little longer. Is cold crashing a must for this recipe? If you did cold crash , how long did you crash it for?

Have my first batch of pale ale in the fermenter and wanted to make the robust porter recipe next. Was wondering if I could rack the pale ale and then pitch the porter on the yeast cake left in the fermenter. I like the idea of using the yeast more than once but didn't want to bet an entire batch of porter to save five bucks on a new package of Nottingham.

Does anyone know the O.G. Of the original recipe? Is it 50 or 40ish?

Ok, my system is a little less efficient, but in the ballpark.

Brewed this about 5 weeks ago. Been in the bottle a little over two weeks and it tastes really good. Should hit its prime in about a 2-4 more weeks. Not too bitter and the Vienna is awesome in it.

Just bottled almost 2 cases. Used cascade to bitter with and citra as aroma and flavor additions. Boiled off a little much and final boil volume was 4.5 Gal. after fermenting ended up with abv of 6.5%. Used .5Gal during priming since I knew I would lose prob .5 gal with the yeast cake so bottled 4.5 gal and I;m guessing after diluting with the .5 priming solution the final abv is prob around 6%. Sample was a nice grapefruit bitterness while being real light and clean tasting, with def Citra fruit and tropical tones. Cant wait for 3 weeks to go by to try one. I'll def be using this recipe again.

How has people's success been using Citra for flavor and aroma? I've never had Citra before. Very curious about trying it in this beer. I love the original and am afraid to mess with such a good thing but want to get away from cascade only.

 

[olotti]

I used Cascade to bitter and Citra and Cascade in flavor and aroma, it was my first AG batch too. Samples tasted pretty much like the Citra smelled, a little grapefruit bitterness, orange and lots of citrus, floral, pretty much what you'd expect from a Citra/Cascade combo, I have high hopes for it as a real drinkeable summer APA. I hope it carbs correctly either way I'll def be using the combo again.

I've made this recipe about 6 times now and in this last iteration, I decided to do some more drastic changes.

For 11 gallons, I went with:
14 lb 2row
4 lb Vienna
2 lb Munich
1 lb C10
1 oz Centennial 60 min
1 oz Centennial 15 min
1 oz Centennial 5 min
2 oz Cascade 0 min

S04 slurry from prior batch. OG was 1.054, FG was 1.010. Beer is fantastic. Malty with balanced bitterness. Very hoppy on the nose and taste but without the expected bitterness.

I'm loving the idea of this beer for my first beer but myself and the people who will be consuming this beer are total hopheads. Would doubling all hop additions be too much or should I just add something like 50% more near the end of the boil?

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

If your friends are hopheads why not dryhop?

I think if you want to make this beer make it as is. If you guys are hop heads and want a hoppy beer shoot for an IPA.

 

[natural]

It's a fairly hoppy beer as it is. It's not extreme by any means. But they definitely stand out. I'd try this first and tweak it from there. It's better to make a good beer your first time instead of coming out of the gates and hating it. I made a real piece of **** beer for my first one. It was so demoralizing haha.

 

[eandersen]

Brewed as my first all grain batch today. Went very smoothly, though I got more boiloff with my new kettle than expected

 

[wyobrewer1]

Had a few of these with some awesome BBQ chicken for dinner with some friends. And a bomber of my latest pale ale.

That's my plan now. I brewed it as-is and picked up 2oz of Cascade to dry hop with.

 

[Antifreze]

So I brewed the extract version this past Monday (Memorial Day). I am leaving town next week on Wednesday and worried about 2 things.

1. If its not ready - if my gravity readings aren't the same on tuesday/wednesday then the beer has to sit for a total of 21 days. Is that ok in the primary? or should I at least move it to my secondary?
2. How to handle dry hopping - I was planning on dry hopping the last 3 days with 2oz of Cascade. Without knowing if the beer will be done in 9 days or 21 days makes me concerned with the duration of the dry hopping. Is it ok to put them in on day 6 and remove them on day 9 (hop bags) regardless if I bottle then or it sits till day 21?

Any advice would help as this is my first solo brew

 

[Aa760]

I would just let it sit. 21 days isn't that big of a deal. Dryhop when you get back.

I second this. 21 days is usually my minimum primary length anyways.

 

[Antifreze]

I second this. 21 days is usually my minimum primary length anyways.

So when I get back on day 21, dry hop it then and then bottle it in 4-5 days?

Sounds like a plan to me.

Thanks!

 

[Jupapabear]

That sounds like my typical routine for this recipe.

Brewing up a batch of this on Sunday. I need a nice pale ale on tap, this will fit the bill perfectly!

 

[XerxesFerm]

I'm brewing a 3 gallon batch of this for my first AG attempt this weekend. For any Beersmith 2 users- does EdWort's 75% efficiency refer to total brewhouse efficiency? I tried to set up a 5.5 gallon batch equipment profile to use for scaling down the recipe to 3 gallons. When I set up the recipe with the 5.5 gallon profile, the estimated OG and FG match up to EdWort's numbers, but the color (4.6) and IBUs (37.1) are lower than he indicated. Thanks.

 

[Jupapabear]

You may want to check the AA% of your hops, and maybe he actually used domestic or otherwise different grains that you have selected. I had to adjust the recipe to my hops, as I do everytime.

 

[spinner66]

Made this for the first all grain.

Washed the yeast for the porter recipe.

Be sure to use a blow off tube.

Made bread from the spent grains.

Thanks Ed !!
