8# 2-row
1/2# Vienna
1/2# crystal 60
mash for 60 min @150F
sparge for 15 min @163F

Edit: double the flavour and aroma additions
yeast: S-04
I think I'll give this one a go but with different hops based on what I have.
I suggest aiming for a clean bittering hop and something mellow for the late additions.
The hops i have are cascade, willamette, fuggle and simcoe.
cascade for bittering and fuggle for late additions would be nice. I actually almost went that route myself, but I've been using alot of Cascade lately, so I thought I'd do something a little different.
that's because Cascade is awesome :P
btw, use a blow off hose for this one
I've learned to use a blowoff on all the smaller carboys for the first 3 days....
yeah, I don't bother with the small 5gal Carboys, too much mess. I use the 6.5g ones.
I got two of each, so Ive been using the 5's for secondarys now.
I designed this one for a quick turn around and low calorie content. Kegged it this evening, and had a pint to spare. Despite being warm and flat, it was very good. I think this will be my house pale ale.
It will sit at 30 psi until morning, then I'll give it a good shake, and let sit until Friday evening, should be good to go... grain to draught, fully carbonated in exactly two weeks.
I shared this with quite a few non-craftbrew drinkers this week, with really good feedback.
I'll be making this again for sure, just with Marris Otter instead of 2-row.
Perfect I'm gonna make this Sunday or Monday. I'm trying to get some of my friends interested in brewing but I'm having a hard time getting them off the rice water.
I also make a Light Ale very similar to keiths !!!
Having a pint of this now... I have to say, for 4.5% abv, its flavourful, balanced, and yummy.
Jealous :P
That grain can't get here soon enough... I might be forced to break my "two weeks 'til bottling" rule for my current (KISS Pale Ale) brew, and get it in bottles tomorrow. I used a metric shitload of yeast, so I suspect the normal conditioning might not apply. Will do a diacetyl force-test to be sure.

What temp have yours been fermenting at?
I have mine downstairs at 65F and it's still bubbling away, nowhere near kegging and we were brewing at the same time.
Of course you used the ringwood and i used the london esb, so that would be a big difference, too.

Quote from: "JohnWay"What temp have yours been fermenting at?
About 19.5C on average ambient temperature (18-21 according to the thermometer on the wall), so I guess 67F-ish.
Quote from: "JohnWay"I have mine downstairs at 65F and it's still bubbling away, nowhere near kegging and we were brewing at the same time.
Aye, mine stopped bubbling a couple of days ago but I wasn't exaggerating when I said I used a shitload of yeast. I had some washed yeast (S05) in a bottle that I used - roughly 250ml of compact yeast slurry, with 250ml water I poured off. This is a pretty hefty over-pitch, I suspect, and will have led to the seriously reduced primary times.
Quote from: "JohnWay"Of course you used the ringwood and i used the london esb, so that would be a big difference, too.
As mentioned, I ended up using S05, so I'd expect the ester profile in yours to be a little more prominent. Nothing major, though.
Anybody got 1/2 pound of vienna and some s-04 so I could start this one up??
I can cover the vienna, but you'll need to get the yeast.
I have to say, this is extremely good beer.

Thanks K!
Anybody got some S-04 I could borrow?

this keg is already gone... will be making it again for sure.
Too bad it's empty, I'd love to have direct compared it to the version I just finished...Day 5 today, it's clearing nicely and I might just shoot for 7 days to the tap as well, gravity is down to 1010.
Well, When I get moved into my new place in August, I think this will be the first one I brew. What I really liked about this one is that the 6 week rule for my standard 12# batch did not apply. With the light grain bill and low hoppage, it was at peak at 2.5-3 weeks from brewday.
Kyle and I just shared a bit of my version of this,
the mods were in the hops (doubling and subbing)...
1 oz Nugget leaf @ 60 min
1 oz Willamette leaf @ 15 min
1 oz Willamette leaf @ 1 min
My version seems to have received the approval of the original author, it will be available for tasting tomorrow.

I'll be brewing this one yet again today. I'm glad I can do 10gal at once now, this beer always goes quick. I'll leave the bittering hops at their current level, but double the flavour and aroma amounts.
I'm on my last keg of it now from the first 13.5 gallon brewing of it...I think I might try upping it to an 18 gallon batch and do it early next week.
I have a 4 way spunding connector now that worked well 3 ways on my Hoppy Porter, so I'm going to give it a go and see how it goes. Maybe follow it up with 4 different dry hoppings. That'll go a long way to making the summer cruise on by.

JQ, if you need S04, I have S04, I'm actually in need of a packet of S05, so if you wanted to do an even trade I can drop some off tonight?

We should have some US-05 by Wednesday HH. I believe there is some coming with the grain order.
I'm out of 5 and have lots of 4 now, so I'm in the same boat!
JQ
nice of you guys to offer to JQ, but this thread was started a long time ago.
Quote from: "ChrisCraig"We should have some US-05 by Wednesday HH. I believe there is some coming with the grain order.
Yup - a whole box (4 trays) = 158 sachets of US-05 should be here next Wednesday...
Ok, cool
I'm going to take stock of what yeasts I have and buy whatever I need to have 5x of S04, and 5x of S05.
On the current incarnation of this, I yielded about 9.5 gal when I racked it from the fermenter into two corny kegs, the OG was 1042 and the FG was 1006 (mash temp was 149). So this is 4.7% abv, and good at 5 days from brew day. I did not even use a spunding valve.
'tis delicious and nearly carbed at 6 days from brew day, no spunding used. This is my favourite lawnmower beer to date.
Even with a 10g batch this goes fast, got about 2 gallons left... will be brewing this again soon. I'm going to try swaping the C60 for CaraMunich II.
wiki.
I believe this has to be the most tweaked and played with recipe in the group, absolute widi-dom, perhaps with a few of the versions represented within the wiki, saying and if you're looking to do... then do...
JQ
I think thats a cool idea, wiking recipe with popular variations.
Well volunteered :P
I think that I will try this tomorrow. I have the following types of hops, what would you recommend?
N.Brewer (leaf), Magnum, Cascade, Comet (leaf), Hallertau, Palisade, Simcoe, Willamette, EKG, Fuggles.
Maybe, 1/2 oz of Cascade @ 65 and 1 oz of Fuggles @ 15 and 1oz Fuggles @1?
that would work very well, I think!
Thanks.
I won't be over tomorrow, I think I'll brew this instead. Let me know the next time you are going to demo your setup and I'll be there.
I'd axe the crystal, or replace it with carafoam, and use US-05 instead...
