James Golden Ale - Recipe

Hi All,

I have become unreasonably fond of James Squire Golden Ale - it being the beer he generally brings over when sharing my homebrew - and having plenty of Amarillo sitting in my freezer have decided to try to make something similar.

Based on Goggling and previous threads here, I have decided on all Aussie malts where possible, including 30% wheat malt, Poor for bettering and restrained use of Amarillo for flavor and aroma.

 

I have no problem with the chocolate malt, but I very much doubt that the real thing has it in there. I actually doubt it has any crystal either. I guess it depends on whether you are trying to make a clone or just something "similar".
My standard Golden Ale recipe is:
45% JW Ale malt
45% JW Pills malt
10% JW Wheat malt
Bitter to 27-28 IBUs
1g/L Amarillo @ 15mins
1g/L Amarillo @ flameout
I have made a version before that was something like 75% Pils malt, 20% Ale malt, and 5% Carpals with the same hop schedule and it turned out really well too.
I like the look of your recipe but I think it will be darker and have a lot more body than the real thing. As I said, it depends if you are trying to clone the beer or just make something in a similar general style.

Cheers!!!

 

Hello cesar,

I make one like TD's recipe aswell but last time i tried golden ale it was a fair bit darker than the pale straw colour you end up with that recipe although that recipe is one i do a couple times and year and love to death. Mine actually originated from a recipe Andrew at grumpy posted some years ago under the name XLCR.
I do think colins recipe is pretty spot on but the recipe TD posted is also another very cool way to do it.

Thanks
