BREW DAY!! WATCHA' GOT, EH!? 2020

Brew day! 😀

Hi guys.

Simple Pale Ale loosely modelled on the Nelson's Light DIY recipe that I quite enjoy.

Coopers Wheat Liquid Malt Extract 1.5kg
Coopers Light Dry Malt 500gms
Coopers Pilsner Malt grain 1kg
CaraPils Malt grain 250gms
Centennial 30gms @ FWH30
Nelson Sauvin 20gms @ flameout
Azacca, Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin 25gms each dry hopped
White Labs WLP001 yeast (from stored starter)
Brewed to 21 litres.
Ferment @ 18°C
OG = approx. 1.049
FG = approx. 1.013
Kegged ABV = approx. 4.8%
EBC = 6.6 IBU = approx. 28.0

First time using Azacca hops. If it shows up as something noticeable among the Nelson Sauvin & Riwaka aromas, I'll use it again.

Cheers & good brewing for 2020.

Lusty.

I am certain you could simplify that...

Surely vienna and munich are close enough to just use one.

I’m too noobish to be concocting my own 

Never. I have always made all of mine up.

Melanoidin malt is used to improve flavour stability, fullness and rounding of the beer colour. It is often described as being similar to other German malts, like Munich and Vienna as they also have high melanoidin levels, but with more aroma, and sometimes used to help replicate the maltiness and mouthfeel found in decoction mashes

Quote

Dextrine, or Dextrin, is a term given to light colored malts that have been produced using specialty processes (specialty malts) in order to influence the overall character of the beer, typically the body and mouthfeel.

If you went 

5 kg Pale
1 kg Munich
300 g crystal 


I bet you'd be hard pushed to taste the difference

Ordered my grain bill for my 1st BIAB. Doing an English Bitter for want of a better discription.  Using Maris Otter 93%, Carafa Special T1 4%, Medium Crystal 3%. Where I need some reasurrance is the pop schedule. I was planning either 25g of  Fuggles and 25g EKG  for 60min.  Or 25g EKG for 60 and 25g Centennial for 20. Or 25g EKG for 60, 25g cenntenial for 25 and then 25g of Styrian Goulding for 20min.  I know there is not much differnce between the EKG and the Styrian.  Just second guessing myself here. HELP.

What are you looking for in the beer?
Is it no chill?
Why Centennial?

It will be chilled as I have an immersion coil.  The Centennial I am not sure why, I have used with EB kits before.  That is what I mean I am second guessing.  I just want an reasonable bitter english ale around the 30EBC and 30 IBU.  Most of the recipes I  have seen have Fuggles and Golding but many goldings only.

I like EKG for bittering, it is a nice hop.
Bitter with that then do a mix late I suppose. As I no chill and only late hop I can't really help with the 20 minute boils but if you want hop flavour maybe a 10 minute boil then let it steep for 20 minutes then chill

So just use the EKG and forget the rest.

What yeast you going to use there Marty?

Nottingham is what I have about 4th gen I think. Why do you have another recommendation? It will be a slurry straight out of the fermenter.   I have a pseudo rice lager I did at 15which is at 20 right now and will be kegged while I am whirlpooling the cooled wort tomorrow.   I will take a sample right of that yeast cake wash the fermemter and then fill it, pitch and then straight into the fidge at 19O
