DavidP17 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hey all im looking to make up a batch of draught in a month or two ready for summer and i was just wondering if anyone had any good recipes/what hops go well with a draught? Also, do draughts use an ale yeast? thanks, dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Draught use an Ale yeast. Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Fuggle hops all go well with Draught. An easy and good recipe to try then tweak is the Irish Ale or this one isn't too bad either: 1 x Draught Can 1kg LDM 250g-300g Dextrose 150g Light Crystal Malt 20g Casecade @ 30 min 12g Fuggle @ 5 min Yeast US-05 or kit yeast Make to 21L Needs a bit of time in the bottle but is quite nice when ready.

GregT5 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 A Draught recipe with cascade hops was posted on here recently (by Leonard I think ?) 1.7kg OS Draught 1kg LDM 200g Dextrose 15g Cascade hop pellets - dry hopped kit yeast 23 litres Simple & very nice by all accounts. I have just bottled this one & smelled & tasted good out of the FV. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hey Greg, I'm glad to hear you tried the recipe. It truly is simple and very nice by all accounts.[cool] Chad PS I think Leonards Draught was hopped with Saaz, Perle and Willamette if i'm not mistaken.

Canadian Eh!L Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Brendan, Using the liquid Malt will make very little difference to the final outcome. 1.2Kg LME is equal to 1Kg LDM. Adding the extra 300g will only make it uniquly your's. Maybe you could make it up to 25L and add a couple more grams of hops or just the malt and no Dextose. My original version of this one used 1Kg BE1. It was also very nice.[love] The real key to this recipe is that late addition of the Cascade.[rightful] Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hey Bill, would not the 20g Cascade for 30 min make it too bitter?[pinched] Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hey Bill' date=' would not the 20g Cascade for 30 min make it too bitter?[pinched'] Weggl I'm not Bill but, no I wouldn't be too bitter at all. I reckon that amunt of cascade would do nicely at a 30 min boil [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi Warren Like Muddy said, 20g @ 30 minutes I didn't think was too long at all. It needs a little more time than usual in the bottle but when things mellowed it was a nice drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sasn Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 1.7kg OS Draught 1kg LDM 200g Dextrose 15g Cascade hop pellets - dry hopped kit yeast 23 litre G'day guys - Looking to do this recipe today - couple of questions: How long into the fermentation process do you guys like to dry hop? After fermenting is done? How long to leave the dry hops in for this recipe before the taste changes for the worse? I have cascade hop flowers, so 15g pellets would equal how much weight in flowers? I dry hopped my first brew in a hop bag but noticed that a lot of the hops were floating above the surface of the brew in the bag - so am thinking of just throwing the hops is without a bag - bad idea? Thanks for any help! [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT5 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Jonathon, I dry hopped on day 5, after the krausen had died down a bit, (was planning to do it on day 4 but we were out) The brew was in the FV for 14 days which is my usual time period, information garnered from the experts here, so hops were in the wort for 9 days, in a chux cloth. A thread on this forum about Motueka Slam IPA suggests you would use a third more (by weight) of flowers compared to pellets. (I think that may have been someone's personal preference so you may just have to experiment to see what you like). You would need 20g of flowers to get the same effect as 15g of pellets using the above idea. A recent thread had a bit of a discussion about using a bag, chux cloth or loose hops - once again you might have to make up your own mind [crying] I personally use a chux cloth tied into a loose bundle but I've only dry hopped my last brew, but have got the incentive to experiment more now [cool] Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonardC2 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hey Greg, I'm glad to hear you tried the recipe. It truly is simple and very nice by all accounts.[cool] Chad PS I think Leonards Draught was hopped with Saaz, Perle and Willamette if i'm not mistaken. You're referring to my Sunset Gold APA. The recipe is here,but page 3,I think. It's called "os draught additions". The hops in question were 1oz (30g) of US Perle @ 20mins,.5oz (15g) Czech Saaz @ 10mins,the remaining .5oz (15g) @ flame out for 10mins with the lid on,& off the heat. It got a smooth spice that was great. The piney quality of the Saaz was changed to a nondescript citrus brightness on the back of the malt. *PS-As some of you know,I also made an IPA out of this same recipe. 4.5oz (135g!) of hops in the boil,next week 1.5oz (45g) dry hop. The boil used 1.5oz (45g)Columbus 1st @ 25mins,1.5oz (45g) Nugget @ 16.5mins,& 1.5oz (45g) Whole leaf Cascade @ 8.3mins. I took the 1st hydrometer test yesterday,went from OG 1.050,down to 1st FG 1.011. That's 5.7% so far. The taste was wonderful! very little "bittering",just tartness of the citrus flavors of the hops used. Tasted of lemon/grapefruit,with bitter orange under that. Besides the herby/spicy/earthy thing in the nose & under the citrus flavors. Malt is a little young,but developing. You could try the APA recipe as is,or make it more traditional by using 1oz each of Columbus & Cascade. Or Amarillo & Cascade hops. Either of those used the same way as described in the "os draught additions" will get you an clone of APA's. So far,the IPA is looking very tasty,with not a whole lot of bittering at all.[love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonardC2 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I couldn't find my thread about the IPA I brewed,so,since I mentioned it here,I'll update here. As I said,I used the Sunset Gold APA recipe for the malt profile. I changed the hop schedule as mentioned in my last post to make it an IPA. After reading BJCP guidelines,it's pretty much an English IPA with American hops & amounts. It was in bottles 12 days last Monday,& that afternoon I put 2 in the fridge. Yesterday afternoon,we tried them. Nice darker amber color,good fine bubbled carbonation,with a 5/8" head. Need to scrub film off glasses to improve that. The aroma of citrus & kind of a dark smooth malt were evident. The flavor had some malt,but a bit young yet. The grapefruit flavor was tart with some bitter orange coming through. The lemon flavor was buried a bit. All three citrus aromas/flavors are from the combination of Columbus,Nugget,& cascade hops used. 4.5oz in the 25 min boil,1.5oz dry hopped,for 6oz total. And not a lot of bittering at all. Just that citrus tartness that'll mellow over the next couple of weeks. I found that the late hop additions I did are called "hop bursting". Lots of flavor,not much bittering. Should be way better ina couple more weeks. I have a cooper's English bitter ready to bottle tomorrow that I late hopped with 1oz Haulertauer in 2 additions. I'll be priming that one with demerara sugar (raw cane sugar with light brown sugar flavor laced with honey). Should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
