NicD Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi all, I wanted to share a recent recipe I have been working on. The result is a really resiny, bitter and ballanced american pale ale with biterness in the 90's IBU. fantastic beer for those that love a well hopped APA 1 can coopers larger 2 kg light dry malt 125g dark chocolate malt 100g carapils 70g galaxy pellets 55g cascade pellets wyeast 1272 american pale ale yeast 28 litre batch primary ferment 3 weeks bulk prime 7g/litre method: start your yeats and allow to sit for 2 hours dissolve LDM +coopers can in 5 litres water boil 15 min. Steep the grains at 70deg for 30 min hop boil 45 min galaxy - 30G cascade - 15g hop boil 15 min galaxy - 25g cascade - 25g flame out galaxy - 15g cascade - 15g combine all the goodnes in your fermenter and fill to 28 litres ferment in primary for 3 weeks, this beer really need s a long primary ferment due to the resin from he huge amount of hops! decant into bottlling bucket and add 196gm dissolved dextrose and bottle Age for atleast 5 weeks enjoy my favorite recipe! best served at below 3deg. the beer will be a light color with copper tones, soft creamy head and a strong galaxy nose. This is really not a recipe for the feint hearted and will suit those that like a well hopped APA... If 1 person makes this recipe it will make my day! and I am sure will become one of your new favorites. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I just have a couple of questions. dissolve LDM +coopers can in 5 litres water boil 15 min. hop boil 45 min galaxy - 30G cascade - 15g hop boil 15 min galaxy - 25g cascade - 25g flame out galaxy - 15g cascade - 15g Why are you boiling the Coopers kit can? And are you boiling the whole lot i.e. 1.7kg liquid malt + 2kg dry + grain steep liquid in only 5 litres of water?? A 5 litre boil only needs about 500g of dry malt or maybe a bit less given the grain liquid too, to achieve an optimum boil gravity of about 1040.

AdamH1525226084 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I imagine the hop boil is being done in the grain juice, not the 2kg DME and lager can? Do you crash chill this Nic? I love Galaxy and Cascade [love] Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin work a treat too [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
