Beer styles

[Higgbot1970]

Hi, pretty new brewer here, how do I know what style of beer I'm brewing? For instance i made beer with 4kg pale malt 1kg wheat malt,hopped with citra and centennial at 50,20,fo and dry hop. But what style of beer is this. I made it because of mouthfeel etc but I love wheat beer and hazy pale

Try using the brewing calc on the forum. It has virtually every beer style and will indicate what you're brewing.

Thanks Clint I didn't even know it was there brilliant. Just out of interest what would you call it?

Delicious! It could be an American pale ale,probably needs more wheat for a wheat beer..but as long as you like it that's all that matters.

I've been drinking a bit of faith and gamma ray recently and if I'm ballpark ill be happy! Soz for the Americanism

In one sense I suppose a beer style is just a label that gives someone else an idea what to expect - or conversely gives the brewer a target to aim for.
Equally however not all good beer fits a style; and beer that fits a style well is not necessarily good!

Thanks for your comments very helpful not least clints suggestion. I'll be on the beer calc for about an hour finding out what the six all grain beers I've brewed are nearest to. Its so exciting. I bought 25kg bag of pale malt for £15 and a kilo each of citra(£30)and centennial(£10) and added some smaller purchases,malts hops etc, and have made over 80litres approx of (so far) very drinkable beer!

Looks like an APA to me. As you gain more experience, you will worry less about what it is and more about whether you like it or not!

Happy brewing.

Hi all, the apa is really nice and it's still got another two weeks to condition. I've just bottled a cold fermented ipa( I think) and it tasted fantastic. I'm thinking of just brewing these two forever but trying different hop combos.Before I do that I'm brewing a beer with 2kg pale 2kg pilsner 1kg wheat 100g crystal medium and 400g terrified wheat. Hops are 10g summit@sparge 20g summit@start 20 each simcoe/galaxy@15 30 each@ f/o and 50 each dry hop with the wilco gervin eng ale yeast. Does this sound okay? That is the longest thing I've ever typed on my phone!! Thanks in advance
