A British Golden ale is on my to do.Just finished brewing Brittish Golden aleView attachment 692040View attachment 692041View attachment 692042
Came out a tad darker than I wanted but not by too much. I did add a half pound of caramel 10L so I guess it should have been 1/4 pound. Almost hit target of 1.047, I got 1.045 , Acceptable.A British Golden ale is on my to do.
Did you use Voss for your yeast and if so how did it come out?Kegged the lawnmower beer I brewed about 10 days ago.
Nope, US-05. This is, essentially, a HB light beer. 85% Pale Ale, 12% White Wheat, 3% Carapils, Magnum and Cascade to about 25 IBU, finished at 3.9 ABV. The keg sample tasted like light beer with a little actual flavor.Did you use Voss for your yeast and if so how did it come out?
Way too much crystal malt; I would say 1lb in an IPA is the max; some would say even less. Needs more 2-row, less Munich (I do like it in the grist though), and if it was me, less flaked oats. Also, celeia is a very mild hop and besides not being really ideal for IPA's, will get lost with the other heavy hitters.Built my first recipe for an Ipa does this look good?View attachment 692511
Thanks for the input. I will make some adjustmentsWay too much crystal malt; I would say 1lb in an IPA is the max; some would say even less.

I don't understand how you guys..and gals..can stomach all that bitterness!!! I start feeling like I'm drinking cyanide when IBUs go over 30!!Kegged my fruited sour with blueberries, vanilla beans, and cacao nibs. Made a starter with imperial julius for my once a year crazy IPA with 15oz mixture of pellet and cone hops.
Lmfao. Mostly whirlpool and dry hop, but still around 60 IBU. Perceived bitterness is lower though because of only 1.5oz of boil hops haha. I can understand your point though, I've had some that was ridiculous.I don't understand how you guys..and gals..can stomach all that bitterness!!!

Bottled 51 bottles of my Scottish 70/- which is now a Scottish 80/- and pitched a starter of WY 1099 into my English Brown(ish).
I'm jealous!
It'll be another two months before UK beer season starts for me. I'm really looking forward to some browns and porters. Yum.
Fifty-one bottles....hmmm. How's the arm feeling?
I can't wait two more months to start my dark beers, I'm ready for fall NOW!
