interested in some ideas on how this APA will turn out

Looks tasty to me, lot going on.

I agree, theres a lot going on for a PA, this grainbill/hopbill reads more like an IPA

Looks yummy

isn't it going to be quite sweet with all that MO + Crystal and no bittering until 20mins?

 

[ProblemChild]

3 lb flked oats?

 

[kcinpdx]

it ended at 1.014 - initial sample is not sweet at all!

20% of the grain bill is flaked oats, so yes, 3#

. Love the mouth feel of oats, but never strayed beyond a pound it so. Will have to try that on an IPA soon

 

[GHawk]

IBU 28.5 / 59 points
bitterness ratio = 43

0 to 10, 5 being Balanced 10 being Bitter
I'd say it might end up sweet.

With the 7 oz's of hops, 2 at flame out pulling IBU's you may 'perceive' hop bitterness, though.

Report Back.
I've been playing with only late additions, as well.

 

[kcinpdx]

I think the bitterness will be significantly higher. Beertools is Terrible at post boil bitterness calculations.

 

[trisaiah]

I'm interested in the overall sensation of that much oats vs the pale ale hop profile. I love putting oats in porters and stouts, never thought to put it in a pale.

 

[kcinpdx]

I've been doing nearly all late additions- 20 mins at the earliest.
There's a local brewery, Burnside Brewing, that does a oatmeal pale ale that's really tasty

I like oats ( flaked, malted oat malt ) in all my beers. It suits my taste and usually avoid thin, watered down beers. I like crisp IPAs, but one is enough.

If I brew for myself, then I want some body and mouthfeel in my beers.

By the looks of it, I would say that is tasty.

 

[kcinpdx]

This beer is coming into it's own. I'll make a few mods but overall it's very solid.
