American Pale Ale Da Yooper's House Pale Ale

[BBQB]

After raising the temperature I was able to get my fg down to 1.015. I kegged it on Saturday. Sunday afternoon I went to pull my first pint but got nothing but gas. The out connector to the keg had popped off and all 5 gallons emptied out in to my keezer. I never even got the chance to sample it.
I will start over tomorrow night.

First time I brewed this was first batch kegged and I had about a gallon leak out...was pissed enough at that, but yours takes the cake. Sorry to hear that. I just kegged my 3rd batch of this using a mix of whole cone cascade, nugget, and willamette for everything and Not the best result. My bother had dried the hops using dehydrator and although he used low heat setting I can't help but think we lost some flavor out of those....it's more malty than should be, but still drinkable.

I think i'm going to brew this this weekend. Going to use Brett and make it my first Brett beer, great looking recipe.

If I brew it again I will skip the dry hop.

Why is that?

So, I'm here, indulging In this absolutely fantastic creation, this was all grain #2 with simcoe/amarillo. No dry hop , pitched the trub in, used irish moss, and no chill, never been happier!
Here is to you yooper! Cheers!

I just drank my last bottle yesterday. I typically like more hoppy beers, but I have to say, I was sad to the last one gone.

What does "pitched the trub in" mean?

 

[TheHairyHop]

Why is that?

must not enjoy flavor

 

[oogaboogachiefwalkingdeer]

I like flavor fine. Too much hops for me. I'm sure some would double them just not me.

 

[TheHairyHop]

haha yea, I was just joking. Not everyone is an IPA enthusiast

Brewed my first batch of this yesterday and it smelt awesome when it was going in my bucket--Thanks for the recipe Yooper

I couldn't find anything but can someone tell me which "munich" yooper is talking about. Light/Dark 10 20. Want to buy grains for this and wasn't sure which one is needed.

I often use Briess- they only have "Munich" and it's not marked 10/20, but it appears to be around 9L.

Thanks yooper. Being the noob I am I meant to make my 10 20 like yours but didn't. Just wasn't sure which munich as I know there are different ones

Delighted with this APA. It really turned out very well with a few minor tweaks to account for differing hop AA% and my system's efficiency. Thanks for sharing your creation with us brewing minnows.

Great beer (thanks Yooper), great photo (thanks Gavin)!

Just kegged my second batch of this one. Brewed it again bc the first one was so tasty. Tried the no chilling method this time around and not sure I got the hopping schedule right but the sample was good so I am happy with it. For a 2.5 gallon volume into packaging I did a FWH with 1 oz of Cascades 7.5% then dry hopped for 4 days with another once of the same. Thanks for the recipe Yooper

 

[monkeyman1000]

That should read another ounce of the same

I'm assuming you mean a hop steep or whirlpool when you say "no chilling method". If so, it all really depends on the size of you vessel, how quickly it cools down, and at what temp you throw the hops in. I've gotten great results at just flameout vs 180 and below, but it definitely increases the IBUs significantly

 

[monkeyman1000]

Thanks for the reply, what I meant by no chill was after the boil just letting the wort cool down in the kettle on its own. i let it get to about 120 then threw it in the fermenter and let it cool down the rest of the way on its own overnight then aerated and pitched in the am. There is a hop chart https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/gallery/data/1/No_Chill_Hop_Adjust.bmp that adjusts the utilization and hop schedule with no chilling but with this recipe it looked like I was supposed to add the 10 minute addition to the already existing FWH addition. the 5 and 1 get added to the dry hop bunch. I left out the dry hop addition since the 5 minute and one minute were already an ounce. seemed like it would have been overkill. what do you think?

 

[midfielder5]

Learning the no chill hop timing takes trial and error with your set up.
For hops under 20 min in the regular recipe, I add them at flame-out at different times based on BK temps. I let it cool for 15 min or so (i boil in my kitchen so YMMV), see how far it has dropped, and decide when to add the hops. I like hops so extra don't bother me.
good luck!

Getting ready to brew my second batch in a week or so and I've been looking for a simple American Pale that I can brew over and over and experiment with different combos and amounts of hops. This is the one and I will stick to the recipe this first time.

 

[jtratcliff]

I brew this one regularly and I also overnight no-chill... I've followed The Pols chart and adjusted hops for no-chill but I've also just followed the recipe as written and no-chilled anyway. Both versions come out good.

For my most recent batch, I followed the hop-schedule as written, but I pulled the hops bag after a short water bath to drop temps some. Then lid on and no chill in the kettle overnight.

That way is pretty tasty, too.

I've found this recipe to be very flexible. It's also quite good with alternate hops as well (to similar IBU levels)

 

[browder]

Boiled Tuesday afternoon & started sampling this beer-turned out real nice think I'll brew this again on the weekend

 

[srob18]

Mine Just came in around 5%, but that's all good for me. Really looking forward to trying the bottles soon. Wort and gravity samples tasted great!

I am planning on brewing this on Saturday as my second all grain. Question for everyone, I have an excess of magnum pellets and was thinking of using it as a fwh bittering hop. What does everyone think? Thus saving my cascade for flavor and aroma.
