trabfountain Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My son gave me a recipe for Pacific Ale made by a friend of his and said it was one of the nicest beers he has ever tasted. As I'm new to brewing other than Coopers kits I am not sure of how to go about making this but would like to try. I've just bought a new fridge as our existing one will be used for brewing along with an STC-1000 temp controller which I am waiting for. I've spent quite a bit of time on this forum and it appears there are a lot of very capable brewers out there. If someone has the time I would really appreciate some guidance as to what I need to do to make the following recipe. PACIFIC ALE 80% two row ale malt 20% wheat malt All Galaxy- No bittering addition, just 20,10,50,and 0. Really heavy from about 10 on. Also copious amounts of Galaxy for the dry hop. Wyeast 1056 (American Ale I) Mash very low at 64-65 to keep the beer very dry. I use all grain but can use extract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trab I'm not an All Grain Brewer but from what I understand the step that you're proposing is quite huge. To make this beer you will need some special equipment and techniques. Others will sonn advise you on how to do it. If it were me, and I think this is the natural progression, I would take the route of, Kits and spec grains, All Extract, Partials then All Grain. If you are interested in Pacific Ale, Sound Awake has a nice one here Stone and Wood Pacific Ale. A much easier version of the beer to brew.

GrahamB8 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 You could go (based on a basic 3 vessel homebrew system) 4kg 2 row 1kg Wheat Mash in at 71\xb0c/16L water for 1 hour at 65\xb0c Mash out with 8L at 100\xb0c for 15 mins at 75\xb0c Sparge with 7L at 76\xb0c Preboil should be close to 24L (I use a 1.45 absorbtion rate at home because thats around what I get from Craftbrewers grain\\crush) Post boil should hit near 23L after 30mins and OG should hit near to 1.050. and an SRM of 3 Galaxy additions based on 13% AA: 15 @ 20 15 @ 15 20 @ 10 20 @ 5 25 @ F/O Dry to your liking if required 42 IBU's Wyeast 1056 @ 75% attenuation should pull and FG around 1.012 which will give you 5.1% ABV before priming.

Hairy Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If you prefer to use a dry yeast then use one packet of US-05 and ferment at 18 degrees. Trabfountain, if you get more details from your son's friend on the recipe we can convert it to a kit or extract brew. He didn't really give you a recipe, just some guidelines. Ask for: OG and FG Volume AA% of hops Qty of each hop addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
