Yoopers APA

[alsch890]

Going to attempt Yoopers APA that I found on another forum and that seems to be up there with Ed Worts pale as a legendary home brew recipe.

For what its worth this is my intended recipe for tomorrow, after I have converted to the metric system (insert Pulp Fiction line), switched to the Weyermann equivalent malts and reduced for my batch size of 15l (I reduced by a factor of 0.9 rather than 0.75 though since I never get close to 75% efficiency). I just tried to keep the % of grains of the original and aim as close to 1.058. I have gone with a Cascade and Summit version as recommended by another poster rather than the all Cascade original...

Malt:
Pale Malt 2kg
Vienna malt 1.2kg
Munich malt 800g
Carahell 200g
Caramunich III 200g

Planning to mash at 65 celsius.

Hops:

Cascade 30g @60 mins
Cascade 15g @ 30 mins
Summit 15g @15 mins
Summit 15g @ Flameout

irish moss 4g @15 min

Yeast: Safale US-05

Dry hop (consecutive not concurrent):
30g Cascade 3 days
30g Summit 3 days

Any last minute advice?

I use Summit and Cascade in one of my standard beers (got one carbing as I write) and it is really enjoyable. However I use Summit for bittering (15% AA !) and Cascade for the later additions. Apparently some folks get odd flavours with using Summit late on (garlic?!) although I have not noticed any whatsoever.

The garlic comes from the grower leaving the hops on the bine too long and not from when they were added to the boil.
