Hi all! Very new to this brewing lark so go easy :)

 

Having done 5 or 6 basic brews, ive amassed some bits and bobs that i'd like to use up. Was planning on doing the following but and would like some input if ive missed anything or should use less of anything?

 

1-\tHop tea of 20g Cascade 15g Galaxy in 2l just boiled water (strain with French press and add to FV)

2-\tAdd 1KG LDM + 200g Dextrose

3-\tAdd Coopers Pale Ale kit

4-\tFill to 23l

5-\tPitch Safeale 05 @21c

6-\tDry hop 30g Cascade + 15g Galaxy

 

Cheers DerekB5

I've never used Galaxy but I can't see anything wrong with that recipe mate. Should turn out a pretty nice pale ale by the looks of it.[cool]

 

I've got a few bags of random grains that I want to use up myself, I was gonna throw them all into the one "leftovers" brew too but then I found I had like 700g roasted barley so I don't know how that'd go.[lol]

Hey Derek

Welcome to the Guild

I have used this hop combo in three brews as I search for holy grail. All of these have been extract rsther than concentrate. The closest one to your hop schedule was my last [love] .

I had 15g of Galaxy and 20g of Cascade at 7 mins in the boil. I dry hopped with 15g of Cascade and Galaxy on day 6. This one had all the skunk (aroma) of an IPA [love] .

 

I would be inclined to drop the Cascade dry hop back to 15g in your brew.

 

Good Luck

Cheers for the welcome and the input guys!

Much appreciated.

Have had a thought about the recipe above, I've also got 500g of Wheat DME kicking about as well. Would replacing the dextrose or replace half the LDM with some of the with that be ok? Or should i just leave as is ?

I would leave the dex as is.

 

500g LDM and 500g wheat DME would be nice. But I like wheat in beer.

 

The original recipe was good too though so it is your call.
