Suggestions for a first AG brew using.........

[Bionicmunky]

Hi all,

To go with the kit I ordered today I ordered som ingredients too.

H&G were all out of Wheat Malt which was also on my list, but I have started my store cupboard with the following

Standard Pale Malt Maris Otter (grain) - 25kg
Carapils Malt (3kg)
Crystal Malt (3kg)
Cascade Hops (200g)
Fuggles hops (250g)
Challenger hops (vacuum packed)
2 packets Safael S 04 yeast
2 packets Safael US 05 yeast

Can anyone suggest a nice recipe made from the above. I'll be running the 10g H&G setup so 5g & 10g recipes are fine, although I probably better start with a 5g.

I'm loving summer ales at the moment a la rebellion's 'Zebedee' or similar.

fermentation/conditioning options are a 10g bucket, 2x7g airlocked buckets, a nearly drunk dry KK top tap, and if I can get away with it a couple of cornies when a certain someone get's back from hols.

Thanks in advance (again),

John

The Cascade would make a nice summer ale, Townes IPA springs to mind, just maybe use some carapils instead of the wheat malt, use the yeast US-05

Another brew could be a standard English bitter made with the Pale and Crystal, Challenger and Fuggles with S-04

this may not be the original recipe, I can't find my Olloson book and this is the one I have on Promash file, it turned out great though.

I have some wheat malt and some goldings whittling it's way to me from hamstead homebrew (along with a cornie + tap)

So I may have to give the IPA a go
