Harvest Gold - Pale Ale 1.055 ~31 IBU

[Wez]

I'm posting this in here as I am really enjoying it and it'll be brewed by me again regularly:

The recipe is laid out for 50L and is still in Beersmith format

I mashed at 67 for 60 mins and also boiled for 60, fermented with S04 but will brew again with WLP007 as I want to see how it turns out with a drier finish.

600.00 gm Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 4.92 %

I'm going to do this as soon as I get some Cascade.........and some Bobek. I feel an order going into Hope and Grope quite soon. :lol:

 

[Wez]

Good man

That yeast you have would do well in this beer

 

[Dunfie]

I'm sure it would - I used it in my Snow Leopard that is based on Cascade and it was fantastic (I broke the land speed record for empying a cornie keg on that one :lol: ).

Hi Wez,

To what would you compare Bobek? (flavor and aroma-wise)

thanks

I'm not Wez and i've never used them but iirc Wez has on more than one occasion compared them with Styrians. I think he rathers them to Styrians

 

[Wez]

Hi Monk :)

Yep A T is right, lots of breweries are using Bobek as a Styrian replacement, I do indeed prefer them they have a more mellow flavour than Styrians IMO which can be a bit sharp. Lots of citrus notes :thumb:

Wez,

This is a mighty fine brew, but it does need to mature a little as I found from the SWB brewday. I tried some quite early (1 week) but after a few more weeks the harshness mellowed and it was fantastic :

 

[Wez]

Agreed Smod - I have some SWB put by for NYE :thumb:

 

[Smod]

Make sure the the two you promised me are not part of that. :lol:
