American Pale Ale




This is a simple recipe that myself and a fellow brewer came up with. We wanted an APA that was basic, not hoppy, but had some flavor. So far I have only tried one of the batches. I personally didn't care for it much. Didn't hate it, but I found it kind of boring.

However, I had 3 others try it and they all really liked it. Maybe I just expect more from myself.

Here is the 10 gallon all grain recipe.

Grain bill:

18# 2 row domestic pale
1# crystal 10L
1/2# honey malt

Hop bill:

1 oz Amarillo 9.2% AA @ 60 minutes
1 oz Cascade 7.3% AA @ 20 and 5 minutes

Irish moss

Strike temperature = 151F

I typed up the IBU once and I think it came out to around 28.

Yeast: US 56 and Wyeast 1275

OG = 1.065
FG = 1.006 (US 56)
ABV = 7.6%

The cascade is a little high on AA this time. Since we didn't want death bitter, we decided to use the equivalent of a 1/2 per 5 gallons.

I have only kegged and tried the US 56 version. The 1275 is still in the secondary.



 

Love me some honey malt in my IPAs!  Definitely a unique malt.
