Malty, how did the Dales turn out?
Excellent! The best pale ale I've ever made in all honesty. Can you pick out the homebrew in the pics? Adjust bittering hops to reach correct IBUs. Lots of compliments from friends, and I can kind of tell the difference between "hey that's good" and "hey, this beer is flippin fantastic!" when it comes to friends' feedback.

I'd say the homebrew is better from a freshness standpoint. Fresh hop flavor/aroma because, well, its fresh. :mug:

This will be the foundation of a "house" pale ale for me. I may tweak for fun, but its rock solid.

Homebrew on the right? Lookin good!
Wanna try chub soon!
 
Glad you guys are getting some mileage out of these recipes. I still haven't brewed one of them. I did a take on the G'Knight, but not one straight up.
 
Homebrew on the right?
And we have a winner! :mug:

I also made an Old Chub clone - went with the BYO recipe and its pretty solid. Can't remember how this one (Schemy's) compares...I think the hop schedule might be different.
 
Update, this past weekend I did a side by side comparison with my wife and two other friends. All said my version was better, but very similar. The color was spot on, and the flavor was very close. I felt mine was slightly more malty sweeter. The original is 8%, mo e ca e in at 7.9%. Very close, and I will brew this again, if you like Old Chubb, you will enjoy this. .
 
got to say that the recipe for G'knight

G'Knight Imperial Red Ale

Mash temp 152 F
12# Rahr 2-row
1.1# Crisp 45L
1# Weyerman Munich Light
1# Weyerman Cara Foam
.05# Simpson Chocolate

1.00 oz Northern Brewer 90min
1.15 oz Columbus 25min
.050 oz Liberty 10min
3 oz Amarillo Dry Hop

Yeast 1056 American Ale

seems wrong based off of SRM. I'm going to replace the carafoam with carastan, as that bumps the color to the right spot. I'm also dubious of the hopping schedule, as I definitely taste more than just 1.5 oz of aroma hops. BUT, I will give my tweaked version a test run within the half year and report back. For those concerned, I'm going to replace the 1 oz of columbus with 4 oz at flame out. I've never made an IPA with only 1.5 oz of aroma hops!
 
Best thread I've found today. Subscribed and will take a shot at the Old Chub clone very soon.
 
I've had this on tap for a week now. Side by side is indistinguishable from Dale's. Impressive clone.

subbed.

Dale's Pale is hands-down my fav go-to Pale Ale.

Brewed a clone per a different recipe a while ago - very nice brew so nothing lost, but as far as a real clone goes - close but no cigar.

Will try this recipe soon... thanks for sharing the recipe!
 
Dale's Pale was the beer that turned me onto craft and, eventually, homebrewing. Can't wait to try it .
 
Anybody continue to perfect this recipe for 10g or 5g all grain? What people are saying, in the least, would be to add a bit of oats. Looking to brew this next week so any additional information would be great. Trying to get as close to pinner as possible. Not looking for a hop bomb.
 
^I meant to add, I am talking about Pinner (there were a few posts on this already but wanted to add it to this also in case others are watching this post also).
 
Ten Fidy

Mash temp 148F
9# Rahr 2-row
3.6# Weyerman Munich Light
2.6# Flaked Oats
1.75# Simpsons Cara Malt 30L
1.75# Simpsons Chocolate
1.75# Crisp 77L
1.75# Simpson Roasted Barley

1.35 oz Northern Brewer 90min
1.80 oz Liberty 25min
0.50 oz Columbus 10min

Yeast 1056 American Ale

Has anyone brewed this Ten Fidy recipe?
 
I would wager that it's just white rascal with passion fruit added. it has the same abv. you can just email Avery. they give out their recipes to homebrewers

They used to have all the recipes readily available on their website, but they just recently rebuilt the entire site and I can't find them anymore. They may still be there somewhere, but I haven't been able to find them yet. But if you email them, as stated above, I'm sure they'll happily give you the info you want. Avery is very generous about that kind of stuff. They even give yeast to homebrewers if you want it badly enough.
