Can anybody help with this?

Just need the malt bill and hops bill.

I was thinking of this, but the hops I'm not sure of, maybe a combo of Citra, Mosaic and / or Amarillo?:

Have you asked the brewer?

If you can understand my chicken scratch on the left, this is from an evening with JC the Brewer

The hops on the notes are SAB hops. What is your brew length?

[CapeTownBrew Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close CapeTownBrew]

90 min boil

[Setsumi Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Setsumi]

Sorry I want to know your volume as into fermentor as brew length

[CapeTownBrew Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close CapeTownBrew]

No clue, he didn't give volumes at all. He gave %, so you could scale it accordingly.

[Setsumi Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Setsumi]

The recipe that Jakeslouw posted is close to 9kg of grain and 3 packages of yeast but the og is only 46. The hops and IBUs further suggest a larger volume than 20 l. Thats why I want to know volume, in his recipe I do not see any % to scale.

The second recipe in the picture only say 4% wheat, guess a towenaar may brew a beer with that.

It wasn't a recipe, more like guidelines.

[Setsumi Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Setsumi]

Maybe if you take a standard pale ale recipe and then use the guidelines to tweak it. I love devil peak's block house ipa.

40L fermenter volume

I coincidentally ordered some Southern Passion and Southern Promise yesterday for my fridge.

The 90min boil is interesting. When did he pitch the hops?

I took a standard Golden Ale recipe and added some hops based on the aroma and flavour as mentioned on the DP beer description.

OK so the brew went well, just worrying about the fermentation now. I really need a better system with a fermentation chamber.
Here's the final recipe attached.

Efficiency with BIAB is 70% on the dot.

The strange 10 minute hops addition was just some late minute creativity to boost aroma and IBUs, I reckon you can stay with 60 and 5 minutes.

Looking good. Holding thubs for the fermentation.

I would brew my version with 2 or 3 changes.
I took out the biscuit and added wheat malt to 4% as indicated

	Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM)	Grain	1	68.20%
	Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM)	Grain	2	22.70%
	Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)	Grain	3	4.5%
	Wheat Malt (2 SRM)	Grain	4	4.5%

I dont have the local hops but will go with 10g Magnum (5g@60min and 5g@45) and 20g cascade (10g@20min and 10g@10) = 16 IBU

Est Original Gravity: 1.048 SG

Est Final Gravity: 1.012 SG

Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 4.3 %

Bitterness: 16.1 IBUs

Est Color: 3.3 SRM

It might be a bit pale @ 3.3 SRM but then if I swop the Vienna (3.5) for Munich (9) the SRM goes up to 4.8 SRM.

Then again it might be a completely different beer by nowIt would be interesting to hear what more experienced guys would do?

Sounds like a fun experiment if we brew a few different version of the same "basic idea" and excange some beers.

[jakeslouw Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close jakeslouw]

The notes I had from the DP brewer indicated an IBU of around 20, so yours needs a touch of comething like more Cascade or even Simco or Chinook. This can almost be considered a Light Pale Ale. In fact, Devils Peal calls it First Light.

Wheat malt came across on some other versions of Golden Ale. It would be interesting to taste one made with that to compare mouthfeel and taste.

I would add more hops after the diacetyl rest. Why? Why not!
