2 x australian pale ale with 40 gram amarillo @50litre

[Waylon]

Im about to do a simple low av brew tonight,

Not sure if a grain steep is needed

 

I had 40gm left of amerillo

 

ive got also got at hand light munich grain and medium crystal grain to steep but not sure if its needed, any thoughts or should I just keep this one simple

 

Ive got lots grains to steep if needed and light dry malt at hand

 

Is a grain steep needed for extra value?

 

My idia was to do;

 

2 x 1.7kg Australian pale ale cans

2kg ldm extract

5min amerillo boil and 30min steep

3xkit yeast

50 litres

if this brew is about 3-8 to 4% AV ide be happy... any thoughts

 

Still think maybe grain steep may make better flavour and head as im stretching the apa can

1x 250gm light munich malt

1x 250 medium crystal malt

Estimations:

Using

2 x 1.7kg Australian pale ale cans

2kg ldm extract

40g 5min amarillo boil and 30min steep

50 litres

 

OG 1.036

FG 1.009

ABV 3.8% after bottling)

IBU 23.4 (a bit low? Aim for 30 to 40?)

 

You could add maybe 300 to 400g of a grain, but an APA is not really a malt-forward brew, but there's already quite a bit of malt and LDM there. Maybe add 500g of dex instead. But it's the low bitterness I'd be more concerned about.

Cheers antiphile,

 

Ill add 500gr of dex maybe get 4.2 for the 50litres

 

And Ill do a 15min boil Amerillo...

 

Then add 50 gr cascade pellets flame out

 

Like it I like it
