Brewing a Pale ale for the next Truro meeting .

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Wed Mar 23, 2016 7:47 pm

I'll brew it but I can't be held responsible if my scale breaks on brew day and I have to guess at hop amounts. I love my hops like you like tradition ingredients for your lagers. I also can't follow a recipe for the life of me. But I will try (Mark please keep your comments to yourself.) ha ha :spilly:

Maybe I'll do a IIPA and dilute 1 litre down for you boys to try.

Ok guys, Lets finalize this as I plan on knocking it out Friday morning.

Derek gave me enough crystal 15 and Columbus for Bowserm and myself. Mark we need to meet this evening and I will give you yours.

Note: When Derek opened his freezer, I thought the door would fall off as it is a forest of bottled and bagged hops. Seriously A large stand up freezer just for hops. The guy seriously needs some help.

Sounds good. Text me when you are home and I will pop over. How much do I owe Derek for the crystal 15?

I was over to visit Derek last night...and the inner turmoil is scary. Maybe we have to bump the ibus. I mean the guy was bottling beer and kegging cider. He even had a special unicorn horn turned into a tap handle ready to install for the cider tap. N' Sync was playing on his tv...it may be too late...

Should we bump to 45 ibu to try to resuscitate him?

McKay sometimes you are actually funny as hell. Bowser I'll take a glass of your finest brew as payment at the next meeting. No worries at all. Steve that's a slight exaggeration. The door is for hops everything else goes in the same freezer. I like Bowser's grain percentages. 87% 2 Row, 8% Munich and 5% C15L. Ok with everyone? Did Mark just offer to up the ibu's a whole 6-7 points. ha ha. Let me know when to sprinkle in the hop dust ladies. I think I'll turn the other half into a honey brown from the same mash. Not sure how that will work with El Dorado hops but I'm doing it. Let's decide on hop additions so we can brew this.

Bowserm · Post by **Bowserm** » Thu Mar 24, 2016 12:27 pm

Did we want to do 60, 20, 10, 5 and flameout? Maybe 10 isn't necessary unless we throw in some late additions of Columbus.

What I have in mind is:

13 IBU of Columbus at 60
10 IBU of El Dorado at 20
10 IBU of Columbus at 10
6 IBU of El Dorado at 5
And flameout hops I'm guessing you can go nuts here Derek since technically it's only aroma and doesn't add any bitterness to it.

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Thu Mar 24, 2016 2:27 pm

Let's do it! And Bowser I like the way you think.

Hop additions at 60, 20, 10 and 5 with ibu's above is good with me.

Bowserm · Post by **Bowserm** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 1:01 pm

Thoughts on dry hopping? I know we have a couple weeks to think about it at this point.

Steeveo · Post by **Steeveo** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 2:36 pm

Mine is in primary.

8 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 79.1 %
1 lbs 12.0 oz Munich Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 2 16.3 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 3 4.7 %
0.30 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 4 16.0 IBUs
0.25 oz El Dorado [15.00 %] - Boil 20.0 min Hop 5 8.7 IBUs
0.30 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 6 8.0 IBUs
0.50 oz El Dorado [15.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 7 5.7 IBUs
2.00 oz El Dorado [15.00 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 8 0.0 IBUs
0.40 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 9 0.0 IBUs
2.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) [50

Dry hopping will certainly allow Woody to get a...... well a woody

Bowserm · Post by **Bowserm** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 2:57 pm

Mine is done and I'm all cleaned up too. My missed my OG by .002 points (1.053 instead of 1.055) hopefully I can get that back on the FG.

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 7:35 pm

You guys don't waste any time. Who knew Steve would be the one to throw in extra hops. Hoping to get a double batch in next week.

Steeveo · Post by **Steeveo** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 8:20 pm

I got a nice 1.056 Mark.

Woody, Mark came by the house this am and we discussed that late hop additions. I am just trying to keep up to some degree.

I think this is going to be a pretty solid beer.

mckay75 · Post by **mckay75** » Mon Mar 28, 2016 11:07 am

Are we doing any dry hops in this brew?

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Mon Mar 28, 2016 2:09 pm

I think this should be wide open and brewers preference. It will gives us some thing else to compare.

Bowserm · Post by **Bowserm** » Mon Mar 28, 2016 3:45 pm

Maybe I'll do a split batch and dry hop half of it and not the other then.

Mac_Brew · Post by **Mac_Brew** » Fri Apr 01, 2016 8:54 am

Just heard last night about this and I am in. Need some El Dorado hops and will check my grains tonight. Guess I will need to get going on this. What is final recipe?

I am sure Woody will follow the hop additions to the letter!

Bowserm · Post by **Bowserm** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 12:42 pm

I can get you the El Dorado Jeff. The recipe is:
87% 2-row
8% Munich
5% C15

Hops are 60, 20, 10, 5 and flame out.

13 IBU of Columbus at 60
10 IBU of El Dorado at 20
10 IBU of Columbus at 10
6 IBU of El Dorado at 5
Flameout whatever you choose.

Mac_Brew · Post by **Mac_Brew** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 1:25 pm

Thanks Mark. Inputted the recipe to Beersmith per Steve and McKay hooked me up with a pound of El Dorado. Looking forward to the next meeting! Will be interesting to see if "Hop Bomb" Woody can control his fetish on this one!

You guys are just swimming in El Dorado hops it seems, lol

Steeveo · Post by **Steeveo** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 5:35 pm

Speaking of which. I need to get a fix for a couple more pounds of that El Dorado

Bowserm · Post by **Bowserm** » Wed Apr 13, 2016 10:26 am

We are good to go to have the meeting at my house on the 30th. I'll put an official invite into the events section in the next few days.

Mac_Brew · Post by **Mac_Brew** » Thu Apr 14, 2016 4:00 pm

Thanks for hosting Mark. Unfortunately I am out of town for work then. Will send my beer along for some feedback with someone. My pale ale is in the secondary and should be done in about 10 days.

At the rate my version is going...it's going to be gone sooner than later!
