Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I am brewing an AG version of this today, I haven't brewed or even tried it previously. It seems to be a very popular recipe for for levels of brewers and styles of brewing. I cant seem to find where the recipe originated, or if it was or is a commercial beer, I suspect not.

Hairy Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Dr Smurto is a contributor to a few home brew forums including AHB. This is his recipe that he posted to the recipe database. I don't know if it is a commercial clone but it is a golden ale style that is similar, but not identical, to the James Squire Golden Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Cheers Hairy, I thought as much, this Dr Smurto has come up with a very popular recipe. Good on him, I hope it lives up to the expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I beleive the original incarnation is buried on this very site but like Hairy said the most up to date versions are on AHB in the recipes database. Also like Hairy said it is a homage to James Squire's Golden Ale. So, basically I should have just typed +1 to Hairy's post [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think you maybe right Muddy, in fact I think I came across a thread the other day, however it wasn't conclusive, hence the question I posted. See if I can dig it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Straight from the horses mouth if you're still interested. This link should take you to the forum index of brewadelaide and down the bottom, the good Dr. has written the history of the recipe. It's interesting to read his current version of the recipe, which is nothing like the one others are brewing. [lol] I think his newest one sounds cool actually, with all the rye and junk.

Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Cheers Phil, Cool read, the evolution is interesting, and the beer has reached legendary status. My version is nothing like it either it will be as follows, and runs down the Amarillo path, like the original. Having read the link you provided I am thinking I should use a 90 min mash, thoughts on that anyone? Ale (MEU Au) 57% Munich Light (Ger) 19% Wheat Malt (Aus) 19% Cara Munich T2 (Ger) 5% Mash 6o min @ 66c Amarillo 19gm @ 60 min Amarillo 26gm @ 20 min Amarillo 26gm Dry Hop Yeast US-05 @ 18c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Having read the link you provided I am thinking I should use a 90 min mash' date=' thoughts on that anyone?[/quote'] I always do a 90 min mash. I've read that most of the saccharification takes place in the first 30-40 min of the mash, but doing a 90 min mash should give a couple extra efficiency points.

Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Phil, do you mash out and or sparge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Sure do mate. During the last 20 mins of the mash, I put 12L in a 15L stockpot and heat to near boiling on the stove top. I pull the bag when 90 mins is up, then dump it in my 19L Big W jobbie. I sparge it twice, pouring 6L at a time over the grains then pull the bag again and add the runnings.

Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Maybe thats what I should be doing what I have been doing on the last couple, is after the 60 min mash I heat to 78c and rest for 10 mins. It doesn't seem to have bad affects and my efficiency is pretty good. Do you see any major problem with what I am doing, I start with full volume so if I do that I cant sparge as you are doing.

PhilboBaggins Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 What you're doing is absolutely fine mate, and I daresay the way the majority of BIABers brew. I'm just a tight arse, and can't stand the thought of tipping out grain with sugar in it! I started off with Maxi-BIAB, where you are fighting for every efficiency point, and I guess the habit of dunk sparging stuck. Maybe I'll try full volume one day soon. It would certainly be easier!

Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Beauty, I wont change a thing. I have just pulled the bag and are heating to rolling boil right now. First hop addition is 10 mins away! I am enjoying what I call my budget Aussie Pale Ale as we speak, and forgot to mention Dead Kennedys is today's brew tunes. Life is good!

PhilboBaggins Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 SWMBO is doing uni work in the front room, so no tunes for me. [crying] 45 min left to go on the mash, so it's going to be a late one. Good luck with yours Sticky. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 SWMBO is also doing Uni work in the room next me but I am in the garage and I have double brick between us. Likewise, Phil may the brew gods let you hit your targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khellendros13 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Forgot to set my alarm last night, so got into Grain and Grape at 12. Got some stuff ready, and almost at boiling for the boil, specialties are steeped and added to the boil already. Porter and IPA today/night, so will have to get the roast in the oven between brews. No Chilling now so saves me some time on brew day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Two brews in one day, solid effort, how long does that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khellendros13 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Two brews in one day' date=' solid effort, how long does that take?[/quote'] Extract with specialty grains...probaby only started at 3, hope to finish the 2nd by 8:30. The killer is using a stovetop to boil 15-19L. Takes over 30 mins to get to a boil. I usually do 2 brews at a time. Moving to No Chill has made it much more manageable. I really want to invest in all grain and a 2 or 3 tap kegerator at some stage...just bottle 6-10 PET's and keg the rest.

Scottie Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hey K Put this post in the right topic so I can ask you why you are doing such a big boil. You know why 15l instead of the 6l that I do. What are the advantages of the bigger boil. I have room in my pot to step my boil up to 12l. Anyway put this post where you meant it to be "Brew Day!!!Whatchya' got?" so that I can pose these questions, I am not keen on hijacking Sticky's thread as I like to stay on topic. Now there's a FACT that no one knew [rightful] . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Wicket Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 All good boys, talk about what you want, you may have noticed its nothing like the heading anymore, that question was answered ages ago. In fact I think I was responsible for moving the thread off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[biggrin] Just cubed it about 20mins ago. Waiting for my sample to cool so I can end the anticipation. Reckon I nailed it tho. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJ13 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 was thinking of trying the extract version of this but can't get hold of amarrilo at the moment do you think centenial would work well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 was thinking of trying the extract version of this but can't get hold of amarrilo at the moment do you think centenial would work well? It won't be the same beer but it will still be very nice. I think a golden ale with Centennial would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
