Adz Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hi All, Just threw this on Coopers Pale Ale Can BE2 200g Carapils 300g Pale Crystal Malt EKG Hops 25g @ 15 mins, and 15g @ 5 mins US05 Anyone had any experience with EKG? Will be turn out nice, I read that it has floral and citrus aromas/flavor. My mrs doesn't like the Coopers Pale Ale from the bottle shop, she loves other beers. I thought that perhaps it's the hops that bothers her, so I thought EKG may the way to go, any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Gone Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 G'day Adz I reckon your will love that hop. But I'd be wary of the sweetness because you've got three ingredients that add to the body of the brew and therefore its sweetness. If you and the missus like this brew next time brew it with just 1kg of malt and the 300g of crystal. That way you will get a good feel for what specialty grains bring to the brew.

Otto Von Blotto Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I have brewed an APA kit with EKG hops before, but as I'd never brewed the APA kit by itself previous, I don't really know what sort of difference it made. It just sounded like a nice recipe in the How to Brew section so I made it [lol] It was quite nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I like EKG; it is a nice subtle hop. It should go well in your recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adz Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Bottled this last night, Sat in FV for three weeks. It smelled so good I had to post again to describe it. That beautiful Pale Ale smell and the EKG really came in nicely. I can tell that this will be a great beer! [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
