Yooper- Have you ever used Notty with this recipe? Have an extra packet already that I was considering using with this, but a little worried it might dry it out too much. Thoughts?

I don't think I have- but I certainly would if I had the notty on hand and wanted to brew this. I really like the lager-like qualities nottingham brings to cool fermentations. I'd ferment it at 60-62 and I think it'd be great!

Excellent! Love me some Vienna and this might be the perfect compromise beer to have on tap for the family and I. Will be taking this one on in the next few weeks and will post back with results. Thanks!
A light yellow beer with real character is just what I need to introduce someone to homemade beer. It's hard to get people to try most homebrews what with the prejudices against it, prejudices added to by some tv shows. I remember an episode of a half-hour comedy in which homebrew was reviled as being "bathtub beer". This sounds like a good recipe to aid in the fight against such notions. Thanks!

This beer is even a bit much for my dad, who said my cream ale was "almost as good as MGD", for what it's worth!

This is a really great beer for those that think that they don't like homebrew. Very tasty. If the grains I orderd show up on time I am going to brew another batch of this Friday.
I plan to keep some on hand all the time and will probably put it on one of my taps when I get my keezer finished.

This was my first all grain brew. I choose it because it seemed pretty simple to brew. It is currently in my secondary and will be transferred to keg either this weekend or sometime during the next week.
I brewed this using the BIAB method.
I can hardly wait to give it a taste test.
UPDATE: 1/30/2012 - here it is though the picture from my phone doesn't do it justice. Plus my SWMBO says it is the best tasting beer I have made...so far.

Thanks for the recipe Yooper and enderwig - It's meant for a superbowl party so we're trying to please as many as possible. My wife and I did a quick "quality check" when kegging tonight and it's going to be awesome.
We kept to the same recipe except that we added 1/2 pound of white wheat malt and dialed in the water for our equipment. Pretty much hit the numbers you had and it was clear coming out of the primary after 3 weeks and a few days of cold crashing. We used US-05 and went with the 62-63 degrees for fermentation. It was slow, but it did the job.
I'm looking forward to a carbonated & cold sample this weekend. Thanks again!

Thanks for the nice words!
Bob had the neighbor over the other day as he takes care of our house when we're gone. I've given him a couple of beers over the last couple of years, but he suddenly got very interesting in brewing when seeing my cool electric brewery!
I was thinking that this would be a great beer for us to brew together for his inaugural brew, as it's not intimidating for BMC folks, but still has great flavor. When I get home from Texas, this may be the beer that I do with my neighbor to introduce him to homebrewing.

Sure. Or magnum, or galena, or more tettnang. As long as you make sure you get the same IBUs by adjusting the hops by the amount of alpha acids, you'd be fine.
Has anyone tried brewing this using White Labs Cream Ale yeast? I was thinking about doing a BIAB 2.5 gallon size brew this weekend for this recipe.
subscribed! brewing this for my brother in law soon. Hope he likes it.

Making this up in a few days any suggestions on types of yeast
I have used US-05, Notty and Kolsch. All worked out well with US-05 being my favorite. I plan to try a cream ale yeast with this soon.
Brewed this up last night and overshot my final volume by 20% I guess that is what happens when you make your first one gallon batch! O.G was 1.042 but was able to get 71% efficiency using BIAB. I wanted to boil longer but didn't want to get more bitterness, hope it isn't too watery. Heck, maybe the BMC drinkers will like it better that way!

Could I replace the Tettnanger with Halletauer-Hersbrucker, or Saaz? I have an abundance of those and Perle. Even if it's not identical to the recipe I just want to make sure one of those hops would taste good as a substitiute
Im sparging this recipe right now and all i could get were whole perle hops , should i use .60oz @60 min?? Ive never used whole hops and everything ive read says to add 10%?
OP

Don't worry about adding 10%- just look at the AAUs and use the correct amount to get the right amount of IBUs.
Ohhh yeah 10 AAUs i neaver even thought about that thanks yoop, i was so concerned over the hole 10% more thing i keep reading.
Made this today while drinking Yooper's Pale Ale. Ended up with about 6 gallons at exactly 1.054. I didn't have much Tett, so I used 0.5 oz of Hallertau-Hersbrucker for the 45 minute hop addition, and 0.4 oz of Tett for flameout. This was the perfect recipe to use up those odds and ends of leftover hops.

Bottled yesterday after a 3 day cold crash. Crystal clear and a F.G. of 1.008 so i'll have a nice 4.4% alc beer. Perfect for the BMC crowd
Have cream of 3 crops, and centennial blonde that will be done in a week and plan to try all 3 together and see which one is the bigger hit, then i'm going to brew 10 gallons of it for the summertime!

I'm going to brew this up next week. I think I have everything I need for a 10 gallon batch.

This is going to be my first batch on my new all electric system, when (if) I ever get finished. Id like to brew 10 gallons but I may go with 5 just incase something gets screwed up.
I will probably sub out the hops, as I dont have Perle and Tettnanger, and I'd like to use up what I have in the freezer. So I'm going Magnum for bittering. Not sure about the flavor/aroma additions. Heres what I have on hand, can someone give me a suggestion as to which I should use?
In order of most quantity to least quantity (can you tell I like C-hops?):
Columbus
Centennial
Citra
Crystal
Cascade
Magnum
Willamette
Hallertau
US Golding
Simcoe
Im thinking Crystal, Hallertau, or Golding. I would say Willamette but my last two beer have been heavy on that variety and I want something a little different.

crystal is a good choice. i have used it in this recipe before and it worked very well.

Brewed this 4 weeks ago a 10 gal batch of the original recipe, turned out great the bmc drinks really like it thank you for the recipe
I decided to brew this for the upcoming float season due to the fact that many people said it was pleasing to the masses. A friend who had never done all grain came over so it was a nice simple recipe to show him the all-grain process as well. I took a sample today that read 1.013 after six days. I drank the sample after measuring and was very impressed. it was still pretty sweet, but the flavor was exactly as described earlier on in the thread. when it is ready to drink I'll post some pics. Thanks for sharing the recipe
