Wayne (Captain Yobbo) Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Just wondering would fuggles hops be any good for an aussie pale ale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I reckon so. I'm not sure what Coopers use in their pale ales, but it has a kind of dusty aroma to it which would make me lean towards the UK hops. But I could be way off [bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I believe the Aussie Pale is only bittered with POR. Fuggles will be ok but there are better hops to give this kit justice imo. If you only have Fuggles then no harm I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I like Cascade with mine [biggrin], but the guy at my LHBS was saying that Hallertau can also give an interesting beer. I was gonna try that next, can anyone comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne (Captain Yobbo) Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have 2 kits here one porter and one apa im trying to decide which one i want to make i have fuggles on hand but at the same time i wouldn't mind getting my pale ale as close to the real thing I made a sparkling ale with Billk's advice with citra and it turned out to be a nice drop letting it age will make it even better so maybe i might look into holding back on the Pale ale and get something more suited for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The Fuggles would go well in the porter [wink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 keep the fuggles for an english style beer... if you were fermenting with Windsor maybe... still, the malts are wrong for this kit / stlye... Coopers APA can = American hops or selected NZ hops... Citra / galaxy / centennial / cascade / Chinook / Wai Iti / Nelson Sav (small amounts) etc.. etc...

JRR Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 This reminds me of a recipe PB2 put on here some time ago. It's for an Amber Ale something along the lines of James Squire: Cooper's Australian Pale Ale - 1.7kg Thomas Cooper's Amber Malt Extract- 1.5kg Dark Brown Sugar - 250g Dry Hop 5g Fuggles Dry Hop 5g Cascade Kit Yeast PB2 reckons this recipe could easily accommodate much more than 5g of each of the hops. I have recently bottled this, so will let you know how it is, in a few weeks time. I used 12 grams of both Fuggles and Cascade. It smelt and tasted great when bottled - definitely very 'hoppy'. -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne (Captain Yobbo) Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Might go and see if my local homebrew shop has some galaxy they have been running out of a lot of things lately which has peeved me off however i might make the porter first and it will be my first hop boil too so looking forward to it :) The APA can can wait till i get the right hops and malts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasond4 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just finished a keg of PB2'S J.S. Amber Ale clone. Yum, Yum. Very nice indeed, simple to brew and easy to drink. Fantastic beer for the cooler months ahead. I must add that from my notes taken on this brew the hoping schedule was: 5g Fuggles @15min 5g Cascade @15min Or for a 15min boil time with 1/3 of the tin of amber malt. 10g of both Fuggles and Cascade Dry hopped. Go on what are you waiting for? ...Get brewing[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
