Pirate Life Pale Ale


Recommended Posts

  • 3 months later...

I had a bash at a Pirate Life inspired extract brew and just tried the results after 4 weeks in the bottle - results are PBG ! Haven't tried tasting back to back but the taste buds get tickled in a way that says I'm happy it's that close !

did this :

1.5 kg LME

1.0 kg LDME

200g crystal grain

200g pale malt grain

10g mosiac @ 60

20g mosiac @ 15

20g cascade @ 15

20g mosiac @ flameout

20g cascade @ flameout

10g mosiac dry

10g cascade dry

US - 05

OG 1040

FG 1010

I've had a go at this in the craft fermenter (9L batch) with the following:

 

NW pale ale tin

1 x Mr Beer Golden LME

10g each of Mosaic and Cascade as a hop tea

Coopers Kit yeast

 

Day 4 - 20g each of Mosaic and Cascade dry hopped for another 8 days.

 

Bottled a week ago, couldn't help myself but have a sneak taste last night!

 

The results are super fruity, lacking a bit of bitterness (think I'd do maybe a 10 minute boil of the Golden LME with the hops next time).

 

Overall I'm really happy with it, it's super drinkable, colour is great, 9L won't be enough!

Yup, 23 litres Payno

 

 

 

KR:

Why the pale malt grain? Did you attempt a mash? Someone may correct me on this, but I don't think it will add anything being a base malt.

 

 

I had it, it needed to be used, in it went. (yup , mash).
