American Pale Ale Lake Walk Pale Ale

[Blackhawkmech06]

Just brewed a different version of this yesterday. Couple changes to the malt bill so it’s not a Lake Walk, but figured since this was the inspiration for it, I’d post a pic of the sample I took as I put in in my fermenter to take a gravity reading.. 1.059.

I made a time lapse of this beer fermenting.

One pack of S-05 sprinkled dry on top of the wort. It went pretty crazy.

I brewed this recipe for my wedding on 4/30/22 using WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast. I adjusted the boil additions due to the different AA for my Simcoe and Amarillo to nail the same calculated IBUs. I followed the original recipe and toasted 2# of pale 2-row.. came out to 5% ABV. After reading this thread I planned to give it enough time to keg condition for 3-4 weeks. Wise choice because it wasn't good until at least 2 weeks in the keg. It was pretty harsh when it was young and I was considering not serving it, but after 3 weeks it came together and was fantastic. The beer turned out to be a huge hit and our guests kicked the keg during cocktail hour! I received a lot of positive feedback. Definitely recommend WLP090 for this recipe, as it brought along some pleasant fruitiness. Thanks OP for the fantastic recipe!
