Notes: Excellent flavor and strong hops bouquet. Hops blend (Simcoe, Columbus, Citra) gives notes of pine and citrus fruit with some of the unique floral and berry characters of Citra. Cascade goes in early in the boil due to low alpha content. Most of the bitter come from the Hop add with 15 minutes to go. Dry hopped Cascade to give it an all American balance. Medium bitterness with strong hop aroma and flavor. Higher than normal alcohol content for APA, at top of the band, but it fits. Almost an IPA, but would need to start with a higher gravity. You can lower the alcohol by dropping the wheat extract, but adjust the hops too or it'll be too bitter.
Yeast starter - use 3.6 oz (103g) dry malt extract (DME) [I use pilsner 2L DME] per liter of water. My starter is a 1 liter starter, assumed 6B cells per gram of dry yeast (US-05), giving 165B cells for a 144B requirement. If you aim for a pitch rate between .5 and .75million/ml/P, then it's good. You could just buy a couple more yeast packages to make it easier (which I will do next time!!) (each packet is about 66B cells). Then there's no need for a starter. Just hydrate them with tepid water before adding to wort. Aim for around 200B cells for a 5.5 gallon batch.
Grains added to cold water, which was heated to 165F and steeped for 30 minutes.
There are only three hop adds to the boil: 60 min, 15 min (with the Irish moss), and a quick 5 min in the boil. Use hop bags because it makes draining your wort significantly easier!, but don't put the moss in the bag!
Boil off losses should be topped off with distilled water during the boil.
Maintain in primary (at 70F, keep below 74F to avoid off flavors) until no noticeable bubble formation in fermentation lock over one-minute period (about 7-10 days). Then transfer to secondary and add dry hops in a sanitized hop bag secured with fishing line and weighted down with sanitized marbles to suspend in middle of carboy. 14 more days in secondary. Remove dry hops and bottle as below. [Post brewing note: 4 oz of dry hops are a lot! Even with 20 marbles, I was not able to submerge the hop bag completely. This is easier with a bucket type fermenter. Stuffing the hop bag through the tiny carboy opening is a chore and takes some time and patience, but it can be done!]
Priming with 5oz corn sugar, gives strong carbonation with good head retention. |

Notes: After one week fermenting at 62 degrees, transfer to secondary and add Wyeast 3711 French Saison yeast. Allow to continue fermenting at warm room temp (70F to 72F) for two to three weeks. Final gravity should be below 1.008. Good results using a heating belt to get fermentation temperature up to high 70s for last week of fermentation. Dry hop three days before bottling.
First batch primary came down to 1.014. Added 3711 and let ferment at room temp (72) for three weeks. Final gravity only came down to 1.011. Added 2 oz of grapefruit extract, 2 oz of Mosaic hops and kegged (dry hop in keg). |
