Lite Summer Ale

[Kyle]

nice of you guys to offer to JQ, but this thread was started a long time ago.

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.

[Kyle]

'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...

I think thats a cool idea, wiking recipe with popular variations.

[Richard]

Well volunteered

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?

[Kyle]

that would work very well, I think!

[chrismccull]

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.

[Chris Craig]

I'd axe the crystal, or replace it with carafoam, and use US-05 instead...
