GrahamB8 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I want to make a nice hoppy pale ale in the American style with stock on hand I have a can of Coopers liquid wheat, a can of Coopers pale ale, some crystal, choc, both light and dark dry malt extracts, 90g Cascade, 90g Amarillo, 90g POR, Brew cellar English and American ale yeasts. Anyone hopheads suggest a recipe and schedule/temps from that lot, or is another trip to the LHBS needed? Cheers [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamB8 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks Bill, I know this is a bread and butter style but I wasnt sure of if I was using the can of wheat in there, quantity of Crystal/Dex and hop quant/times. With the dry hop, just open the FV and throw the pellets in whole or in a bag? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Even though the Wheat wouldn't hurt, I would leave it out and put it in something that would cry out for it more. Yes, you can either put the hops in a bag or throw them straight in commando style. Personally I wrap them loosely in a new chux cloth. I argue that they clog up the bottler and can be a pita. Others say they throw them in naked with no problems. Entirely up to you mate. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonS Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Cha-Ching! [biggrin] This will definatly be my next batch. The SWMIMBO is requesting a berry/Hibiscus/Cider, so maybe she will be interested in this one.. I have 3 kits, so if not I guess we will start another one real soon!

Hairy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I find the wheat malt and the Coopers Aust Pale Ale go well together when using a fruity hop. Add some crystal malt and Galaxy hops and it is a very nice drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamB8 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Ok 3 weeks before I started drinking it [innocent] Great recipe Bill, decent bitterness and great malt balance, up front hops with a great orange and grapefruit flavour. Highly recommended if your into American pales: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm glad you like it Graham. It was just something I threw together with the ingredients you listed. I like Cascade and Amarillo. An improvement on this would be to include some grain. I believe Yob has a you beaut recipe that includes 1kg grain and the Pale Ale can. So good in fact that not a lot of AG brewers believed it was a Kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
