I brewed this today as my last Summer Ale for this season. I mixed up the hops with Cascade and added about .5oz of lime zest instead of orange since I really like lime. I'm sure this is going to be great!
Thanks, Bob. I actually combined this with a similar recipe and brewed it back in March. It's in the bottle for 2 weeks now and I cracked the first one open 2 days ago, it was FANTASTIC.
The changes I made were:
3 lbs Light DME, 3.3lbs Wheat DME, late addition
Full Boil
Zest from 2 lemons
and WLP 008 instead of 001
FG is 1.015 like you expected. I LOVE this beer. I can't wait to drink it out in the hot sun. I can honestly say this my frist brew that I'm completely satisfied with. Thanks for recipe!
I bottled this version of the recipe today and the flavour and aroma of the sample I took were awesome. Can't wait for it to carb!
Ok here my variation on the recipe. Using I want to use .5 of Citra as the bittering hop, keep the amarillo gold. And then dry hop with the other .5 of citra. Also thinking about using zest of one orange and one lemon.
I only have one 4 gal pot so I was going to do everything in a three gallon boil then mix it all together in the fermentor. Can anyone see any problems with this method? Suggestions? Comments?
Edit: of course I was going to the late extract addition.
Wanna post your all grain recipe? I have made the extract version, and I liked it. Would like a shot at the cheaper version.
How did the all grain come out?
Here's what I did, BIAB style. Changed a few things based on what I had/other suggestions in this thread. It's still a week out from being done carbonating, so I'll report back how it is later.
And this was the first time I converted a recipe myself so let me know if you have any other questions!
