Summer Brew and Swap - British Golden Ale

[Stu's Brews]

I've got a Golden Ale cold crashing at the moment. Might be a bit early for this but could hold on to a couple of bottles (fully expecting it to go quickly through the summer!)

 

[Mash Monster]

I’ve got a few odds and sods of pale base malts I need to use up and have been wondering what to do with them. Looks like it’s going to be a Golden Ale ! Count me in

Might be a bit early this weekend but as Sunday is free think I’m going to brew mine.
The elderflowers are drying in the airing cupboard so at least if it’s awful I’ll have time to brew another

 

[Alastair70]

I’m either brewing the Golden Ale or a Hefeweizen On Saturday, It’ll depend on which yeast needs used first.

I’ve pretty much settled on the Golden Ale recipe I going to brew.
50% Pale malt, 35% Marris Otter, 15% Wheat Malt. Total of 35IBU of First Gold at various points during the boil, Wyeast 1318 London Ale III. Shooting for an OG of around 1.040.

Sadly I might have to sit this one out . My brew schedule has become very packed, but hope it all goes well and I'd definitely be up for the next one!

I’ve just this evening thrown together a golden ale. If it’s any good I’ll enter a bottle please. If its no good I’ll brew one in time for august.

It’s American hops, but the style guidelines say this is ok?

Yep, as long as you’re on or close to style your good to go.

I kegged my Golden Ale last Thursday. Needs a bit more time to finish conditioning and carbonating but it's promising so far. The UK-grown Chinook hops have given it a nice floral, citrus and pine character.

That’s great thanks.

Brewfather stats show it’s within style guidelines so hopefully it will come out the same

Golden ale is nearing FG. Going to bottle some for this swap and Great British Beer festival homebrew comp

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Going to do mine next week for this week and the homebrew festival as well, think I might go more traditional in the hop department rather than the ernest/bramling x I'd originally decided on.

 

[Moe]

My golden ale has come out at 5.3%, a bit stronger than I prefer for this style, so I haven’t bottled any for this competition. This was a bit of a rush job with Kveik anyway.

I do however have the ingredients to make this again, so I’ll tone down the ABV a touch and brew it so I’m still in for the swap

 

[Fazzer]

I just got my golden ale on. A week later than planned, Amazon messing up the delivery again.
Looking forward to this.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’ll be getting mine on next week, as soon as I have a fermenter free.

My beer is cold crashing, I added a small 50g dry hop of harlequin hops.

Nice, I've changed my mind about 8 times on what hops to use but have ordered some Harlequin to put in mine as well.

This is my first time using them. Looking forward to see how it turns out.

Mine has just gone in the fermentor, waiting for it to cool a bit more before pitching the yeast.

Ended up a bit lower than anticipated but should be just about OK.

Tried a 30 minute boil for the first time as well

 

[Nottsbeer]

Just pitched yeast onto mine today as well. Had a bit of trouble hitting numbers so will see how this comes out.

 

[Brewnaldo]

Might get in on this if it remains open to all... Just ordered the needful for a Golden Ale, although my guesswork at a grain bill has push the EBC a smidge over what Brewfather says.... CML Atlantic, Admiral and Harlequin hops for me.
