Hairy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Tony, let us know how it turns out. It might be a bit on the sweet side with all that malt and the lightly bittered APA can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to go an amber malt but i thought that might be too sweet, so i went the lite seeing as it was straight at me in my cupboard [biggrin] Just about to weight up this bit of dex i have left it may as well go in as well.

brada7 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Very interesting what Hairy said re a lot of malt. Its sorta close to the amount of malt in the Sparkling Recipe that some find too sweet (see my post "gonna do a sparkling ale) and yes the pale has quite a bit less IBU's than the Sparkling.

I am not a fan of overly bitter beer so i tend to go with more malt than bittering hops. Usually i am a sweet but heavy Stout drinker but have found myself messing with Pales over the summer due to the fact that i love hops. I was figuring the Citra dry hop may get rid of any sweetness overtones. If the beer turns out a goer i may smash it with citra in a brew over winter.

TonyW Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Tony, old mate, never tried Citra hops, watadey taste like? Oranges? What others do they go with? Watdya think of my new girls?[love] [love] [love] Warren This is a quote from a web site: Citrus, peach, apricot, passion fruit, grapefruit, lime, melon, gooseberry, lychee fruit, pineapple, mango, papaya and other tropical fruit flavors and aromas. So, ah, fruity.end quote I would throw in a hint pine with the above. As for the girls i was at my nieces 20th birthday pool party yesterday and there was about 25 girls in that pool, my eyes need a rest [pinched] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 OG 1.065 pitched yeast at 25C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Left this brew in the FV for 3 weeks instead of my usual 2, didnt even look at it, and my trial taste out of the test tube? meant i had to do another trial taste out of the test tube, this is yuuuum. OG 1.065 FG 1.030 = approx 5.5% in the bottle This will become a staple base recipe for me [love] Cant wait to get some age in the bottles.. Things i should of done? only thing i can think of was use 2 sachets of yeast but as i said left it to its own devices for 3 weeks straight, gave me a much cleaner beer.
