Pale ale /summer ale critique

[dreaddan]

Time for another brew in time for our anniversary party but think I'm going ott with this recipie.
This is a 10l batch:

89.9% 2.5kg golden promice (ebc 5)
8.3% 230g wheat malt (ebc 4)
1.8% 50g what flaked (3 ebc)

10g brambling Cross @ 60m
20g cf184 @ 5m
20g cf184 @0m - hopstand 15mins -70deg
15g cf184 - day 3 (May move to 3 days from end)
10g strata- day 3 (May move to 3 days from end)

Us-05 yeast.

Aiming for 4.3%

Edit: for some reason the whole recpie wasn't posted!

Looks okay to me. What yeast?

What's the brew volume?

Your recipe doesn't seem to have been posted in full

Thanks oddly the rest of the recipe didn't appear.

Was planning on s-05, but also have verdant ipa in.

Is for a 10l fermenter.

Looks like this is a double post.

Unless your efficiency is very low, I think you've got a touch too much fermentables there for 10L of 4.3%

 

[dreaddan]

Hmm, looking at brewfather it's set for a 12l batch rather than 10l for some reason, with a 58% efficiency based on my previous biab brews.

Verdant is fine but so is Nottingham

Yup. Sure is

 

[dreaddan]

Yes my effecancy isnt great - I've not worked out why its so low yet.
For my last brew my mash eff was 68% with the brewhouse being 63% (up from the normal 58%)

 

[Jim Brewster]

Even at 60% efficiency with a high attenuator like US-05 you're looking at 5.5% ABV for 10 litres

For 4.3% reduce your fermentables to around 75-80% of the weights you stated above, and put the figures in a calculator like brewers friend to double check it all tallies up

Otherwise I'm sure it'll turn out well enough.

Yes, move the dry hop to a few days prior to bottling once fermentation has died down, 3 days in is a tad early. You might find that it takes more than 3 days for the hops to drop out if you add them directly into the fermenter. They'll drop eventually, or can be persuaded with a cold crashh

Hi, Ive double checked on there too - it's down to my efficiency being low.
I still need to work out why it's so low
Edit: there is defo something diffrnt from my brewfather recipe and brewers friend.

 

[dreaddan]

HI, I thought I should update the thread.
In the end up ended up with:

62.3% 1.6kg golden promice (ebc 5)
27.8% 714g Clear Choice (ebc 4) [I didnt have enough golden promice ]
8.1% 230g wheat malt (ebc 4)
1.8% 45g what flaked (3 ebc)

OG - 1.042
FG - 1.009
Grav: 4.3%

Intrestingly I had the best mash efficency I've had at 72%

So far tasts good but young at just under 2 weeks.
