Using up ingredients

[Kegman]

Hi y'all,

Planning to make a new brew over this coming weekend and decided to use up some of what I've got left rather than buying. Actually, I am getting some Pale Malt from Beautiful Beers in Bury St Edmunds since they've recently started selling homebrew stuff (a quick heads up for anyone in the area).

OK, in my freezer I have good quantities of the the following hops:

Challenger
Styrian
Northdown
Fuggles

And I also have some Crystal Malt and brewers Caramel.

I could make me my Betty Stoggs Clone (which basically isn't really but tastes good all the same) which I mumbled on about in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=51700.... or I could try something else.

I'm rather into the paler ales right now, Adnams Lighthouse, Adnams Ghost Ship, Badgers Golden Champion, Badgers Hopping Hare, Green King Old Golden Hen, Fullers Betty Stoggs etc. so along these lines would be good...

Any ideas?

Cheers

Kegman.

All pale malt to around 5%. Bitter with Challenger or Northdown. Both late and dry hop with Styrian Goldings. Burn the Fuggles.

Sounds good to me.


I noticed you mentioned Morland Old Golden Hen, which is one we've been discussing on another recent thread:

there definitly is galaxy. it says so on the bottle

I think that between the two of us, we've cracked it then

Yep, you did, as far as I know:

Morland Old Golden Hen (English Blonde Ale)
Greene King/Morland & Co, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK
OG: 1041
ABV: 4.1%
IBU: 33-37
Colour: clear golden
Grainbill: 100% Pale? Perhaps a blend of English Pale Malt and English lager malt
Hops: Challenger (90 min), Galaxy (15 min and flame-out, steep while cooling), Galaxy dry hops in fermentor
Yeast: historic Morland's English ale strain, Hen's Tooth bottles contain primary strain

It seems English golden ales with Galaxy are all the rage right now, with summer approaching fast. If you can't source 'em though, substituting your Styrian Goldings would be delicious too.

I'm thinking all Pale TBH, this sounds good. Do you mean to bin the fuggles or is "burn the fuggles" a brewing term I'm not familiar with?

Liking the sound of this recipe substituting Galaxy with Styrian, think I'll whack in a more generous helping of the hops though

I think he means like a burnt offering as potpourri unto the gods.

You're not far off an Exmoor Gold clone there.
