recipe's for a pale ale please

[Andy New Brewer]

HI all hope you had a great christmas i know i did got a couple of cans of concentrate so i will be busy over the next few weeks. Any way back to the topic i was after a great recipe or wondering if anyone has tried any additions to the coopers australian pale ale concentrate to make it even better (that is a hard thing to do to a coopers beer i know) but any idea's would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Cheers and Happy New Year to you all. 8)

There is a recipe idea in the latest newsletter - I guess you have that??

 

 

 

Some more basic recipe ideas using Australian Pale Ale home brew:

 

1. Start with the Can and 1kg of Brew Enhancer 2 to 23 litres.

 

2. The can + 500g Light Dry Malt + 250g Dextrose to 23 litres.

 

3. The can + 500g Light Dry Malt + 100g Dextrose to 20 litres.

 

4. The 2 cans + nothing else to 25 litres and both yeast sachets.

 

5. The can + Mexican Cerveza to 25 litres and both yeast sachets.

 

 

 

Try to keep the ferment temp toward the low end of the scale (18-21).

 

You could use hop addditions to any of the above.

 

You could also use our commercial ale yeast culture (or try a liquid yeast culture from a home brew store).

My 2cents worth, this comes out more in the style of an American Pale ranther than an Australian Pale:

 

 

 

The can, a kilo of light dry malt extract.

 

200 grams of Crystal malt. Steep in a coffee plunger add the liquid. The grains then go to the chooks.

 

12 grams of Cascade hops steeped and added to the primary.

 

 

 

Cheers,

your recipe sounds good. How long to you steep the grain for & how long to you steep the hops???

 

 

 

Thanks

For the grain about 20 minutes, then once more for 1 or 2 mins. Steep the hops for 5 to 10 minutes.

 

 

 

Cheers,
