American Pale Ale Da Yooper's House Pale Ale

[Wulfman]

Just finished a 10.6% version of this beer. I used gelana, citra and amarillo. Dry hopped with citra and cascade. One of my best beers! Thanks Yooper! OG 1.103 1.022

10.6% version? whats that mean? you only followed 10.6% of the recipe?

Are you joking? I think its easy to assume he scaled grains, hops and yeast up to make a 10.6% ABV version

Yikes! That's a "one beer a night" OG.

Great photo- thanks!

i think its easy to assume i was being sarcastic.

Sarcasm is not easy to detect in text. So, no I don't think it was easy too detect in your post. It could also come across as just bring a jerk. Lots of those on the interwebs.

 

[Zoidberg]

Yes I don't think your sarcasm was obvious but to be fair I did ask if you were joking, which it seems you were. For future reference sarcasm might be followed by a or or (sarcasm)

Looking at his starting gravity, I made the assumption he was making a 10.6% ABV version

Yes everything was scaled from original recipe. I also made a party-gyle with the extra sugars. Turned into a 3.5% with a bit of dme.

 

[Zoidberg]

I bottled my 4 gallon batch of this about a week and a half ago. Followed recipe to a t, except I made a mistake and add 10min addition at 15. Also miscalculated my ammount of cascade in my freezer so I dry hopped wih a mix of Amarillo and Calypso so it may turn out to taste much different. Iwas mostly interest in this pale to test the malt bill though so I'll post results in a few days when I crack the firstly bottle.

As usual I hosed my batch too (see my signature) mislabeled my buckets and used 2 row. I am a little upset because I really wanted to taste the malt backing.

I also am out of cascade any suggestions for a dry hop. I have EKG, My Hood, northern brewer, centennial, and el dorado. They are just in the secondary but one I used work horse on and is pretty malty finished at 1.014 and the other I used west coast ale finished at 1.009.


I'm not sure if my the flavors in my beer are off or complex 😳

 

[Zoidberg]

I would use centennial to replace. Never used el dorado but the others are quite diff. Although I do love northern brewer as a dry. Use it in my Black IPA. Yum

Centennial is a super cascade so you can't really go wrong with that. I've made an all el dorado IPA before and it was awesome. Candy like citrus in the nose which would go well with the cascade that's in the beer.

Mines been in the keg for about a week now. Your description "slightly bitter, malt forward, APA" is spot on. I'm really liking this beer.

 

[BrewinBromanite]

Just finished my last 22 oz bottle of this ... now 7 months old. Still wonderfully hoppy and malty and delicious! Really would like to brew this again!

Does a 30 min hop addition leave a flavor contribution? And what about 45 min.

I think a 30, maybe 45 will add "some" kind of flavor and depth by layering in hops at different times. But definitely not in the same way that a late addition, hop-burst or dry hop would. At 30+ you're mostly going to get different levels of bitterness extracted from the hops. But I do feel like you will get some flavor and complexity at 30.

Nice color there J1n. Looks tasty.

Tomorrow, I will keg 5 and bottle the other 5 gal . Will be my 5th 11 gal batch. I like it, and everybody else who tastes it, Likes it !

 

[Esmitee]

This is what you wanted to copy.... I'm afraid it didn't work..............

I'm so glad your recipe is sooo much better.

I just drank this bottle. IMHO, it don't come close to being as tasty as yours.

Indeed. I gave a 6 pack to my sister and her roommate is my cousin. My cousin called asking for more last night lol.

Dry hopped after bout 20 d's in primary, gravity was down to 1.012 and likely it's FG. Despite the OG being few points lower than 1st batch, the ABV is same due to dropping few points lower in the end.

 

[FuriousE]

Just brewed this up today, per the original recipe. Tasted FANTASTIC into the fermenter. Pitched it with some Wyeast 1056 and a nice big starter. Can't wait to try it!! I'm going to be pitching a Pliny clone onto the yeast cake leftover from this one, which I can't wait for either!

 

[FuriousE]

So I haven't even kegged this one one yet, but I'm already thinking about brewing it again...

Anyone do this recipe with Amarillo instead of Cascade? I got in on the buy a pound, get one free deal from Label Peelers.

I haven't. But I know I would love it. Amarillo is my favorite hop variety, and I think it would be awesome because it would stand up nicely to the malty flavors in this beer.

 

[FuriousE]

Excellent! I'll definitely give it a shot.

Where in the UP are you? I'm going to be in Houghton next month.

I'm in the central UP, along the Wisconsin line.

 

[FuriousE]

Ah, I'll probably be passing through then. I'll raise a glass!

 

[Malty_Dog]

Yoop - if you're occasionally checking in on this thread - I'm thinking of going with some of the Denny's 50 (left over from your hoppy amber) for this. Any thoughts? I'm guessing it would be a fine option.

I made this with all Amarillo hops and loved it. I made a bunch of this and Yooper's hoppy amber. Both beers are great! Friends really like them both. Thanks Yooper!!!

I did this with 1450 and it came out great.
