Seymour you're a star, shame there's no Amarillo to be had!

[seymour]

Thanks, man. That's a highly adaptable recipe, though, so you could substitute any trendy med-high AA% single hop for my Amarillo additions to show it off (Chinook, Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, etc.)

[far9410]

Yeah I got chinook, Apollo, simcoe so I' ll get by

[seymour]

If you like the aroma and flavor of Chinook, brew this recipe with it, and you'll be going around telling everyone about your new best friend in the States. Or substitute Chinook in this single-hop recipe I posted today: /viewtopic.php?f=5&t=55143#p579705

I`ve brewed a couple:-

Classic Pale Ale with only Amarillo or Angry Yank.

Both bloody good, mostly thanks to the amarillo

(still have 1/2 kg of Amarillo left for the next few brewdays

...still have 1/2 kg of Amarillo left...

Based on the hysteria in recent threads, I hope no one knows where you live

[alfie09]

aint got no carapils could get the rest. got some caramalt would you use any of that.? also got choc malt, brown malt, black malt?

In this recipe, caramalt will be a perfectly acceptable substitution. Go for it! I think the darker malts you mention are wondrous in other styles of ale, but could conflict with the hops-forward balance we're creating here.

[barneey]

There is at least one UK supplier that is still selling them expensive tho at £7.50 100g bag FFS

Cheers. will make this recipe this weekend (nagging missus and kids decide really) what should i be looking at for the oats? just plain old oats or anything special. and should i use caramalt gram for gram as a substitute for carapils?..... thinking a sunday early morning brew day for this up @ 4am and be done near enough as there waking. well thats the plan

[seymour]

...what should i be looking at for the oats? just plain old oats or anything special...

Nothing special at all, just whatever's at hand in your kitchen: flaked oats, rolled oats, instant oatmeal, Scotch oats, pinhead oats, steel-cut oats. It doesn't matter.

...and should i use caramalt gram for gram as a substitute for carapils?...

That's right.
