Notes: Using BIAB for mash, with dunk and drain sparge. Sparge involves moving the bag to 76C water with 10 minute rest, drip draining, and a firm squeeze.
Omega Labs OYL-004 West Coast Ale yeast, 3th generation with a 2 step starter.
Replaced 22g of cascade 4 day dry hop, with 8 gm cryo Amarillo.
Bagging dry hops to reduce trub.
Ferment at 19C, raise to but not above 22C before ferm complete to ensure full attenuation and to facilitate diacetyl rest.
This recipe was designed to use available base malts.
Single pass in 2 roller mill set to .035"
Aerated wort for 10 minutes using aeration stone, with filter, and air compressor with psi low enough to just show surface bubbles without excessive foaming.
Batch started July 21, 2021 first use of SS Brewtech brewbucket. Noteable is the iSpindle worked!! |

Notes: Overall Impression:
A decidedly hoppy and bitter, moderately strong American pale ale, showcasing modern American or New World hop varieties. The balance is hop-forward, with a clean fermentation profile, dryish finish, and clean, supporting malt allowing a creative range of hop character to shine through.
Aroma:
A prominent or intense hop aroma featuring one or more characteristics of American or New World hops, such as citrus, floral, pine, resinous, spicy, tropical fruit, stone fruit, berry, melon, etc. Many versions are dry hopped and can have an additional fresh hop aroma; this is desirable but not required. Grassiness should be minimal, if present. A low to medium-low clean, grainy-malty aroma may be found in the background. Fruitiness from yeast may also be detected in some versions, although a neutral fermentation character is also acceptable. A restrained alcohol note may be present, but this character should be minimal at best. Any American or New World hop character is acceptable; new hop varieties continue to be released and should not constrain this style.
Appearance:
Color ranges from medium gold to light reddish-amber. Should be clear, although unfiltered dry-hopped versions may be a bit hazy. Medium-sized, white to off-white head with good persistence.
Flavor:
Hop flavor is medium to very high, and should reflect an American or New World hop character, such as citrus, floral, pine, resinous, spicy, tropical fruit, stone fruit, berry, melon, etc. Medium-high to very high hop bitterness. Malt flavor should be low to medium-low, and is generally clean and grainy-malty although some light caramel or toasty flavors are acceptable. Low yeast-derived fruitiness is acceptable but not required. Dry to medium-dry finish; residual sweetness should be low to none. The bitterness and hop flavor may linger into the aftertaste but should not be harsh. A very light, clean alcohol flavor may be noted in stronger versions. May be slightly sulfury, but most examples do not exhibit this character.
Mouthfeel:
Medium-light to medium body, with a smooth texture. Medium to medium-high carbonation. No harsh hop-derived astringency. Very light, smooth alcohol warming not a fault if it does not intrude into overall balance.
Comments:
A modern American craft beer interpretation of the historical English style, brewed using American ingredients and attitude. The basis for many modern variations, including the stronger Double IPA as well as IPAs with various other ingredients. Those other IPAs should generally be entered in the Specialty IPA style. Oak is inappropriate in this style; if noticeably oaked, enter in wood-aged category.
History:
The first modern American craft beer example is generally believed to be Anchor Liberty Ale, first brewed in 1975 and using whole Cascade hops; the style has pushed beyond that original beer, which now tastes more like an American Pale Ale in comparison. American-made IPAs from earlier eras were not unknown (particularly the well-regarded Ballantine’s IPA, an oak-aged beer using an old English recipe). This style is based on the modern craft beer examples.
Characteristic Ingredients:
Pale ale or 2-row brewer’s malt as the base, American or New World hops, American or English yeast with a clean or slightly fruity profile. Generally all-malt, but mashed at lower temperatures for high attenuation. Sugar additions to aid attenuation are acceptable. Restrained use of crystal malts, if any, as high amounts can lead to a sweet finish and clash with the hop character.
Style Comparison:
Stronger and more highly hopped than an American Pale Ale. Compared to an English IPA, has less of the “English” character from malt, hops, and yeast (less caramel, bread, and toast; more American/New World hops than English; less yeast-derived esters), less body, and often has a more hoppy balance and is slightly stronger than most examples. Less alcohol than a Double IPA, but with a similar balance.

Notes: this website states quite a high IBU for this recipe but it certainly didn't taste too bitter.
Probably the best brew i have done this year. All my mates have commented on it and can't believe its homemade. even won a blind tasting contest amongst other well known beers.
Was made as a lighter version of Sierra Nevada's celebration ale - which also came out wonderfully- i had a lot of cascade and centennial left so just knocked this up as a lighter session ale.
its very citrusy and floral when young - but ages beautifully and was best after 2 months when the hops had mellowed out. |
