Schlafly beer?

[BuddyBrews]

Here you go guys. I got this from Drew who brew at Schlafly and is head brewer at Mattlingly Brewing Co in South STL. I got this recipe before they went through there expansion last year. I think I can taste more of the Chinook dry-hop than before, but it may just be my imagination. Plus I think the beer is filtered more after the expansion. Kudos to whoever thought it was FWH'd.

Dry Hopped APA:
93.8% 2R
6.3% C40L

14.8 Plato ferment to 5.9-6.0%abv

20IBUs Marynka end of collection
15IBUs Cascade 30 min
15IBUs Cascade Flameout (at 18% utilization)
DH 2.5lbs Cascade & 2.5lbs Chinook per 12bbls

WLP051 or Wyeast 1272 (American Ale II)

hey man any idea of h ow to put this into an extract recipe using specialty grains as well. Thanks

The last couple of sixes of this I've bought convinces me that there's been a change in their hopping of this beer. Still my favorite Schlafly beer, though, and is regularly available around here at <$7/6. It competes well with beers I'm just not willing to pay $10/6 for on any regular basis. It will also appear on tap in several places around here (Central IL).

Just ran across this in the search. Schlafly is my go-to commercial beer. They give more information on their iphone app than their website. I think Drew's recipe above is probably spot on since he is well connected. He has also posted details about their Pale Ale which is great.

The app has the following -
ABV: 5.9%
IBU: 50
Color: 12 (Golden Amber)
Process: Dry-hopped, Unfiltered
Hops: Marynka (they use this to bitter almost everything), Cascade, Chinook
Malts: 2-Row pale & caramel
Yeast: American Ale yeast

made this beer except used Warrior for the FWH and US05 for the yeast.

I got better efficiency than i expected so i finished with an OG of 1.068 so its more of a lightly hopped IPA, but is my best beer yet, amazing. Smooth bitterness, plenty of hop aroma, just a touch sweet, i will be brewing this again and adjusting the OG. Amazing beer.

love to see the recipe you brewed, smakudwn....

saw on the website they used cascade, chinook, and althanum.

chinook as bitter addition, cascade aroma, althanum flavor/ aroma????

dry hop mix it up??

never even heard of althanum, what would be a substitute?

drinking this draft right now, really good. very silky mouthfeel, is this from low mash temp?

 

[smakudwn]

I will post the actual recepie when i get home. But it was just 2row and some crystal 40.

I FWH this and used cascade for late additions and dry hop. I didn't use the althanum.

They used to use Marynka hops in all there beers but I guess they changed to the althanum.

My efficiency was higher than was expected so my og was 1.061 so mine is heavier.

Everyone I have had try this beer likes it a lot, next time I will decrease the amount of 2row and Crystal to get this around 1.056 or so. I used US-05 for the yeast.

I will post the actual recepie when i get home.

Just a reminder.
Looking to brew a clone of this myself.

 

[smakudwn]

Oh crap I'm sorry.

Going from memory

11lb of pale malt
12oz of crystal 40

FWH .5oz Warrior
30 mins 1.5oz Cascade
1 min 2.0oz Cascade
dry hop 7 days 0.5oz Cascade
dry hop 7 days 0.5oz Chinook

Used s05 at 60 ish

Mine was not as bitter as Scaflys and I will Up the dry hops next time. I think they whirlpool with wet hops.

Thanks!
That was close to what I came up with:

11 lbs 2 row (93.6%)
12 oz. Crystal 40 (6.4%)
.75 oz Warrior (First Wort Hop)
1.0 oz Cascade (30 min)
1.0 oz Cascade (flameout)
1.0 oz Cascade (dry hop)
1.0 oz Chinook (dry hop)

Gonna throw it onto a yeast cake from another APA.

Those changes to the Dry Hops are exactly what I was thinking for the next brew. let me know how that turns out for ya.

I'll have to try the Schlafly side by side with this one but I'd say it's dead on! I'll definitely be brewing this one again!

Here's my blog entry on it:

The label gives it away - it's quite hoppy. I used Ahtanum and E Kent Goldings hops (with maris otter and Briess 20L caramel) in my first all grain brew and it actually tasted a little bit like Schlafly APA.

NOT seasonal. It's one of the year-round brews Schlafly carries.

Also one of the few that gets distributed to SE Iowa, Thank God, as it's one of my favorites in general.

Also, here's the current page of data on it, for those of you still tweaking your clone recipes:
from Dry Hopped APA | Schlafly Beer :

Dry Hopped APA
Available year round
ABV: 5.9% | IBU: 50

Appearance: Golden amber, slightly hazy
Process: Dry hopped with whole cone American hops; unfiltered
Hops: Cascade, Chinook (US),
Malts: 2-row and caramel malted barley
Yeast: American Ale
OG: 14.8
SRM: 10.6

Our Dry-Hopped American Pale Ale (APA) uses a hefty dose of American hops to create a bitter, aromatic ale. After fermentation, the beer is re-circulated through a tank packed with hops for 7 days, for added hop flavor and aroma. We use American ale yeast and Northern American caramel malt to showcase the purity of the 100% whole cone Cascade and Chinook hops.
