Cream Ale Fizzy Yellow Beer

[jtmwhyte]

I ripped this one out last week. Nice cold Nova Scotia weather meant that temp control was achieved naturally. Smells pretty good. I ALWAYS use Nottingham on light ales and it clears like a boss.

Just pulled my first pint of this one to "product control test" before bottling for Christmas. Damn! It drinks like a crisp Pilsner. I used Galena and Spalt Select with Notty at 16 degrees Celsius and "lagered" for a month. Will be a house beer in the new keezer.

Anyone had any luck brewing this with a lager yeast and which one?
Thanks

My LHBS doesn't carry UK 2 row, he says that is just Maris Otter and I don't know the difference, we'll see. Also, he only sells 1lb bags of Vienna, so I'm brewing tomorrow with:

5lbs Maris Otter
5lbs Vienna.

Went with Nottingham, as I have not used this yeast yet, plus with the Maris Otter.... Should be interesting. Looking forward to this.

Thanks for this recipe (and the original)!!

6 pounds 2 row
1/4 pound 10 l crystal
14 ibu Saaz
American lager yeast

can't get any yellower or fizzy than that and my friends drink it almost faster than I can brew it.

Anyone brew this with German Ale yeast?

 

[jakeasaur]

I haven't but was thinking of doing the same. Love 1007 for pseudo larger

new brewer here with only extract experience (steeping grains too). Anyone have an extract version of this recipe so i can make it?

Sounds like a great recipe to have on hand for the BMC crowd. I bought the ingredients for this today to (hopefully) brew this weekend. Only change was to add 4oz of acidulated malt for mash ph adjustment. Can't wait to try this.

Unfortunately, Vienna malt doesn't come in extract form. There really isn't a great sub.

 

[kgx2]

What about steeping grain them then?

Steeping... not exactly, at least not the way you would specialty grains. You could partial-mash the Vienna malt though, and sub the pilsner with extract.

Well, if you can steep grains you can mash. Mashing is just steeping, except you're paying closer attention to the temperature. Just use a grain bag, hold it at temperature for an hour, and remove it.

I brew-in-a-bag, so I squeeze my grain bag to get all those sugars out, and you might benefit from squeezing as well.

i'm not a regular poster here although i have lurked for a long time. a few years ago a stumbled upon this recipe and thought to myself, i should try this sometime. i bookmarked the page and quite honestly, completely forgot about it. last week, i was going through my bookmarks and found this page again. since i've just got my hands on some pacman, i thought this would be perfect. i brewed it up yesterday; everything went smoothly. hit an OG of 1.050. wish i could fast forward a few weeks! thanks to the OP.

 

[Berk]

^ Me too! I'm not a regular poster here, but I brewed this yesterday after I brewed my house pale ale. Efficiency of my system is consistently 60% so I upped the Vienna to 7.5 lbs. not much, but I was still able to hit an OG of 1.049 close enough... Looking forward to see how this comes out.

 

[hunter_le five]

Just pitched the yeast on this one. I hit all my numbers, overall one of the smoothest brew days I've ever had. I have high hopes for this one. I can't wait until it's ready.

i also went through a low efficiency stage; no matter what i tried. then i discovered no sparge brewing and my efficiency improved dramatically. look into it.

Brewed this Monday night as a 10 gallon batch. Hit all my numbers perfectly and pitched S-05 in one carboy and S-04 in another to do a little character comparison. Kinda wishing I had done Nottingham instead of the 04 but there's always next time! Both fermentations are going strong, hoping to turn this one around quick and have it kegged and carbed in a couple weeks.

Ah. How do you think the Notty would have differed?

 

[jtmwhyte]

Found a lost bottle in the fridge from November. It drinks like a Dortmunder Lager. Very good beer.

 

[BreezyBrew]

I had some Willamette and Cascade hops I wanted to use up, so we will see how this version turns out! It smelled amazing.

 

[hunter_le five]

Kegged it this afternoon. The beer finished out at 1.010. The hydro sample tasted wonderful, even un-carbonated and warm. Looking forward to tapping the keg in a few weeks.

Got a batch of this boiling right now. Been looking forward to trying this one. I have never used S-05 before. Will it give a violent ferment @62 degrees or average? I have a regular airlock on my bucket. I have not had the need for a blow off tube yet, but I though I better ask before its too late.

My fermentation was very slow/mild @ 62*F with S-05, but still got good attenuation. 5 gallons of wort in a ~6 gallon vessel, did not need a blow-off.

Thanks. Just pitched as normal. Can't wait.

Brewed this up this morning. OG came in a touch low at 1.05, but no worries there.
Pitched a few hours ago, anxiously awaiting the first bubble

 

[alewhatcuresyou]

I have a seven gallon batch of Yooper's Yellow that has been bottle conditioning for 4 weeks now. I scaled this up to 7 Gallons following the recipe to the tee except that I mashed at 149 for 90 min. (I like dryer beers)
My original gravity was 1.058.
I used a big starter of WLP001. The Chico ate through this stuff with a vengeance leaving my final gravity at 1.005
I thought it would be completely without body but it came out really great with just a slight sweetness and a crisp clean finish. It reminds me somewhat of a good German Pilsner. The ABV is 6.96 but you can't sense it until it's too late.
Everyone that has tried this so far loves it. It is absolutely delicious. Thanks for posting this.

Bottled on Monday. Bit more boozy than I expected.

 

[bishjb]

Has anyone made both Yoopers YF and BM's CCC? Can anyone compare and contrast them? I made a CCC with all SAAZ that is outstanding but I always like to do something different and Y's YF looks good...

Any help, comments are appreciated..

JB

 

[rossi46]

I've made both, I way prefer YF, almost always have it on tap.
