American Pale Ale • All Grain • 5.5 gal

mikfir

An all time favorite with my BMC friends. I have gone through 20 gallons so far this year.

June 27, 2009 pm 03:11pm

4.0/5.0 1 rating

Ingredients (All Grain, 5.5 gal)

8 lbs American 2-row

American 2-row

Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt
0.5 lbs Crystal Malt 10°L

Crystal Malt 10°L

Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales. Characteristics & Applications: • In contract to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.
.25 lbs Crystal Malt 40°L

Crystal Malt 40°L

Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales.
1.5 lbs Corn Flaked (Maize)

Corn Flaked (Maize)

Generally a neutral flavor, used to reduce maltiness of beer. Produces beer with a milder, less malty flavor. Uses: Primarily for light Bohemian and Pilsner lagers.
.5 lbs Rice Flaked

Rice Flaked

Used to add fermentables without increasing body or flavor. Produces a milder, less grainy tasting beer. Examples: American lagers, Bohemian lagers, Pilsners
1 oz Cascade - 5.5 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

Cascade

Spicy with citrus notes. Slightly grapefruity.
1.25 oz Crystal - 3.2 AA% whole; boiled 15 min

Crystal

1 oz Amarillo® - 8.5 AA% pellets; boiled 2 min

Amarillo®

Grown in Washington. A newer multi-use hop with a nice citrus-flower bouquet and medium-high acid content suited for bittering. Used in American Ales and IPAs.
.5 lb rice hulls - (omitted from calculations)

rice hulls
1 tsp irish moss - (omitted from calculations)

.5 tsp yeast nutrient - (omitted from calculations)

The most popular beer I brew

2009-07-28 11:13am

During the winter I brew Classic American Pilsner and weather turns warm I brew Cream Ale. Between the two I have brewed 55 gallons over the past year. It is the most requested brew I make. For myself I brew IPA.
