MitchBastard Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Howdy, Im looking at stepping things up a little from the kit and kilo im used to. I found the below recipe and thought i might give it a go next brew day. I do have a couple of questions for those more in the know... It states 3kg of liquid malt extract....is this 2 cans? if so could one can be substituted for a can of say Coopers pale ale? would anyone recommend adding anything else? adjuncts etc or leaving anything off this particular recipe? TIA Mitch West Coast Pale Ale (5 gallon/19 L, extract with grains) OG = 1.050 FG = 1.015 IBU = 40 ABV = 4.9% Ingredients 6.6 lbs. (3 kg) extra light liquid malt extract 30 min steep 0.50 lb. (0.23 kg) crystal malt (30° to 40° L) 10 AAU Cascade pellet hops (boil 60 min.) (2 oz./57 g at 5% alpha acid) 5 AAU Cascade pellet hops (boil 15 min.) (1 oz./28 g at 5% alpha acid) 10 AAU Cascade pellet hops (0 min.) (2 oz./57 g at 5% alpha acid) Safale US-05 or Lallemand Nottingham or Mangrove Jack M44 (US West Coast) yeast 3/4 cup priming sugar for bottling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 If you substitute it with a kit you'll have to adjust the hopping. Personally I'd just brew it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Yeah I’d brew it as it sits too. Looks like a good beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got both sizes so it doesn’t matter just dunno if the missus can handle another 30 tallies sitting in the cupboard next to the other 60.

Otto Von Blotto Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Yes it is as simple as halving everything, except the yeast. They don't store well opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mr Von Blotto, just wanting your thoughts on this receipe if the cascade hop amounts were halved and substituted for amirillo? also any need for a dry hop at all or would that be overkill?

The Captain!! Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Yep, dry hop it. Def not over kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchBastard Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Cheers Captain. Whats your opinion on doing half half cascade/Amarillo instead of just straight cascade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Yeah man, do that. Great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The combo will work well but you will probably need to adjust the hop amounts to suit whatever the AA% of them is. Obviously different hop varieties are different but they also vary in the same variety. Cascade isn't always 5% AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
