May be a Pale Ale?

[jinjahbiscuit]

Hi all,
I somehow ended up with two 1.5kg cans of pale LME, probably because I ordered them for my winter celebration ale, and then forgot i had them and ordered them again. Hmm, age concern.
Anyway whilst pondering what to do with them (thinking session pale ale), I came across Buckie Brews' recipe from his January post and thought that's it. Something similar, but an extract brew rather than a. g.
So, any thoughts on this:
3kg Pale LME I
200 / 250g Pale Crystal malt
100 /200g Amber
100/ 200g Torrified Wheat
EKG @ 60
Epic @ 30 and 5
English ale yeast, as yet undecided.

Obviously I'm no expert, I only have a few beers completed, so I have shamelessly cadged some ideas from yourselves, especially Seymour and Buckie Brew. I hope you don't mind and possibly put me back on track if I've made a mistake with my intended brew!
I've used the Epic hops in the recipe because i already have them, although they were really for a kit tweak that hasn't happened yet. I've not put quantities in as I'm not sure.

Ok, here's MKII
I'm struggling with a bloody little Samsung tablet thingy so I sort of rushed my first attempt at posting this. So here goes again :
2.60kg Pale Ale LME
225g Pale Crystal malt
125g Amber
120g Torrified Wheat
40g East Kent Golding @ 60 5%
15g Epic @30 4.5%
Whirlfloc @15
15g Epic @0
WLP007
Looking for OG 1.040
FG 1.010
Abv. 3.9
IBU 32ish
21 litres into the fv. Then keg about 12 litres and bottle the rest.

Having looked at this again (and again some more ), I can see that I've cocked up a bit. Firstly it's probably in the wrong section, i should have posted in the extract questions bit, just my youthful enthusiasm bubbling over. But then also I've just done some more research (as a result of having quite a few views but no comments! - numpty feeling ). Anyway, I have since learned that some of my grains are not to be steeped, so I'm really looking at a partial mash if I'm to continue with this brew.
So I'm going to hide in a corner somewhere, fiddle with the recipe a bit and try again. So watch this space - which will be elsewhere, in the right section.

It is a recipe so I guess you are in the right section and it seems reasonable to me, I would just put all your grain in to steep together, let us know how you get on.

Thanks Chug, I 'll do that. Im home next week for a month, so my plan is to do this brew and also tweak a freebie beer kit i have. I'll also try get some brew daystuff posted, though usually i get carried away and forget pictures and note taking.

Well, we've reached MKIII:
Partial mash
2,600g Pale LME
225g Crystal, 60 EBC
125g Amber
120g Torrified Wheat
400g Maris Otter

40g EKG, 5.6% @ 60mins
15g Epic, 3.3% @ 30mins
Whirlfloc @ 15mins
15g Epic @ flame out

WLP007, dry english ale yeast

Pre boil gravity (total volume) 1.038 - a little lower than the expected 1.040, but hey, it's for the summer.

Having read through my notes, I now see that I don't have the gravity into the F.V! Probably on the pop.
I did take photo's, but can't get them off my phone onto the laptop (grrr. just had to buy a new one as the old one died).

Anyway, my boiler slipped off the kitchen table while racking into the F.V. Causing some upset to SWMBO. Unpopular for a whole day. Fortunately, minimal beer loss.
Transferred to the back of the garage with the heater belt on and a slow start, but eventually bubbling away merrily after about 36 hours.
I'll probably keg before the weekend and will try and put the pictures up if I can work out how to transfer them. Where's a blooming teenager computer geek when you need one?!
I tasted it at all all gravity checks, and it was OK.

Thanks Chug for putting me back on track!
