American Pale Ale Da Yooper's House Pale Ale

[BrewinBromanite]

I brewed this this weekend. Used homegrown cascade centennial chinook since I didn't harvest enough cascade for all additions. 1450 yeast.

Looking forward to it as all of yoops recipes are outstanding

I did a spin off of this recipe...very similar to the original recipe, but did pretty heavy hop burst and dry hop with 50/50 cascade & chinook. I always do two 5-gal batches side by side, and did this next to the original recipe. Both were great! Don't think you can go wrong with this one.

What would you do?

This beer is awesome - brewed the all grain version several times. This last weekend brewed 10 gallons BUT only used hops for 5 gallons (yes - I am idiot!).

I have 1 oz of cascade I could throw in after primary ferm is done...

Just tried this yesterday for first time. Had some changes due to availability of ingredients when ordering (such as Crystal 40, Munich II and used San Diego Super Yeast). Also added 1/2 ounce of Simcoe to dry hop. Wanted to use liquid yeast and couldn't get WLP 001 and read that the Super Yeast is similar just ferments faster.

Did 14 days primary then dry hopped for 5 then about 24 hours cold crash. Is a nice beer but I feel like it has a slight aroma of trub, which I noticed more on the second pint. Noticed it too when I sampled it when kegging. Reminds me of when I empty a fermenter and the aroma you get from the bottom of the fermenter with the yeast.... Don't think I've noticed this before in any other batches and wonder if it is due to the Super Yeast. Other than that find the body a touch light for my taste, but that is likely a process issue of mine and certainly not the recipe. I'll see how it changes over the next few weeks as I work through the keg.

Thanks, Yooper!

At this point I'd just throw in the extra 1 oz of cascade for dry hop to boost the hop aroma. Won't have the bitterness as the original for sure but I bet it would still be pretty good with the delicious malty backbone. Let us know what you end up doing.

I'll add my kudos / thanks for this recipe - took a 12 pack to a fantasy football draft yesterday and got lots of "wow!" comments... Thanks Yooper!

 

[Remmis]

I suppose at this point it's rather redundant to say how good this recipe is, nevertheless...

Just transferred to secondary/added dry hops yesterday and the hydro sample was delicious. Been on a bit of a hoppy beer hiatus but mmmm

 

[kalmah21]

Although many others have already commented on how awesome this recipe is, I feel that I need to post to thank Yooper!

I used Wyeast 1056. I also did a FWH addition instead of the 60 minute. The result was dangerously tasty.

I just looked back at the picture I posted and the lighting is horrible. This beer isn't that dark. Here is a pic with better lighting.

I followed the original recipe except the cascade pellets I used were at 10.1 so a bit more IBUs, which is fine by me. All in all a great beer

 

[rwgaro]

I took a gallon out of primary and put it on roasted beet, blended then frozen, for about 10 days before bottling - the end result was, um, interesting! Prettiest beer I've ever made (one pic I'm holding a mag light behind the glass). Smells and tastes like a dry beet soda drink - almost can't tell its beer, and definitely doesn't resemble the orig Yooper recipe at all! Cool experiment though and can see using beet again - a lot less would add a complementary flavor to some styles...

Really a great pale ale. Hope it propels the Hawks to a game 1 win

My brother in law found 6 of these bottles hidden in his pantry. Yay for me!! They are exactly one-year old. (I finished all of my half of the batch about 2 months after bottling, so his forgetfulness allows for interesting unintended aging experiments...)

Surprisingly, the hop presence is still very prevalent. Not quite as much as a bottle I had at 7 months old, but this has aged quite well, for a beer not really meant for aging. Need to do this one again soon!

I'm planning on brewing this up over the weekend. Anyone try this with all Ahtanum hops or have an opinion?

 

[ronjonacron]

I love this grain bill and have done it a few times with different hop combinations. I've juicing it up a little bit into the ipa category this run with cascade, chinook, and citra. Pick some hops you like and roll with it.

It will go well with almost any judiciously used hop

Brewing this right now, with some modifications: Subbing Centennial Type for bittering, using my own leaf hops for flavor and aroma. Added 1 lb two row, noting that some have missed OG.

FWIW - I did this for my first AG (BIAB) batch, moving up from extract then PM's. Way overshot my estimated gravity and got very high efficiency. I'm sure it depends on your setup. Good news is, it was perfectly delicious at nearly 2 pt's ABV higher than I expected!

My gravity came out right with the extra malt. But I'm only about 4 batches into a new system, outdoor burner and new pot. I'll work out the numbers over time.

I too added an extra pound of base malt due to unknown efficiency with new gear. I beleive it worked out well even though I was way over the target gravity, the beer was delicious. I will be usuing this recipe as a base or start and modifying based on my whims at the time. I feel its a great balance and blend of malts. Next batch I will be using El Dorado hops, I recently had a Stone IPA 18th year anniversary edition that uses El Dorado exclusively. I felt that most of the malt flavor was very similar to this recipe with a change of hops I'm sure it will be close to that beer.

 

[JohnSand]

I am looking forward to this one. My hop substitutions were strictly based on inventory. I've made several APAs, including a couple of SMaShes. Next I think I'll start adjusting them to my own taste.

I'm in the second week of fermentation and followed Yoopers recipe to the letter.... I did a single infusion to 148 for 45 min and single thick mash decoction to get my next step.... At 155 for 25 min....no mass out and fly sparged for 50 mins or so.... My OG was a few points off and i account that the brew house efficiency .... TG was to be 1.058 and got 1.54. But by all accounts the FG should end at 1.012. Would this be too low for this style.....? Pics will follow...looked wonderful

 

[TheHairyHop]

I believe that I've undershot the OG every time

 

[FuriousE]

Just picked up the grains to do this one again. This time, using all Amarillo. Going to do a first wort hop, and a hop stand. Also moving the 30 minute addition further back. I'm pretty excited - I loved the first batch of this I made!

 

[winvarin]

To date, my favorite iteration of this beer was with Falconer's Flight. I love that blend.

Oh wth! I was putting away some tattnang hops for a future kolsch.... And was readying to drop some cascade for Yoopers house pale ale. I however got mixed up and dropped 1 oz of tattnang instead..... Well should be ok i suppose... Won't it?

I've done an all Amarillo before. I think that was my favorite version of this.

The pre-fermentation sample tasted awesome. Its bubbling away now as we speak. The funny thing is, I pitched my starter Sunday night, and put a blow-off tube on. I used WY1056 and fermented at 62 degrees. It didn't blow off until Wednesday night!

Will dry hop next week, and keg the week after. Can't wait!

 

[klaggy]

Brewnbromanite it was the dry hopping...so no issues I'm sure it'll be fine
And I'll be kegging this weekend...... And week after that my Czech Pilsner will be done also...beer coming out my ears in a week or 2
