06-09-08: Squamish Summer Pale

Post by spearmint-wino » Sat Sep 06, 2008 11:59 am

Wahey! Back in brewing business after an all-too-long 5 month summer break :pink: . Down to the last corni so in the nick of time too :shock:.

As per my post in the recipes section, this is something I knocked together to use up some ingredients I've had lying around whilst the weather's been to warm to brew, should hopefully come out like a strong Golden Ale with APA leanings, and most of all be ready fairly quickly ;).

Squamish Summer Pale
Size: 23L

Original Gravity: 1.048
Terminal Gravity: 1.012
Alcohol: 4.71%
Bitterness: 36.6 IBU

Ingredients:
4670 g Lager Malt
150 g Wheat Malt
55.0 g Willamette (5.2%) - added during boil, boiled 90 min
15.0 g Willamette (5.2%) - added during boil, boiled 15.0 min
20 g Willamette (5.2%) - steeped after boil
10.0 g Willamette (5.2%) - added dry to primary fermenter


Just about to start the sparge, mash temp a little lower than usual - I'm a bit rusty having not brewed for so long :oops:

At 22L I was a bit lower on the final volume in the fermenter than usual but had a nice, relaxed brewday with no mishaps 8).
Once you've seen one of my brewdays you've seen them all, plus I've no new kit to show off but here are a few photos from the day:

The clearest mash run-off I reckon I've had (recirculated ~10L):

The forecast said ok but it rained all day! Thank god for the Bamboo-cane Tripod BrewBrollyâ„¢:
