Notes: This Belgian Blonde tastes as if it were brewed by an all-grain method.

Extract brewing can be simple and rewarding! Note that while the equipment costs far less than the equivalent all-grain systems, the cost to let someone else create your extract over extracting the sugars from grains yourself is more expensive by about 20-50%.

*The bottles are on Amazon. Search Plastic Beer Bottles.
*You may use tap water and/or modify the water profile.

Additional costs include:

$24.57 An inexpensive Amazon stainless kettle from India
$26.97 A 6.5 Gallon Bottling & Siphonless Fermentation Bucket from Northern Brewer with the Spigot: Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot for Bottling Bucket and with the Lid: Grommeted Lid (Drilled)
$8.99 20ft 3/8" ID Siphon Hose
$4.99 Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler
$16.00 Five Star - Star San - 16 Ounce - Brew Sanitizer High Foaming Acid Anionic

A yeast starter is advisable for this beer as it needs about 160B yeast cells and the White Labs yeast packets come with about 100B yeast cells. If you don't want to make a yeast starter, it is advisable to pitch two White Labs yeast packets.

For a fermentation airlock, run a section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose from the grommet on the lid to the bottom of one of the gallon jugs filled with sanitizer solution in tap water, and place the gallon jug and the fermentation bucket at the same height. It is best to elevate the beer at the beginning of the fermentation cycle with the spigot facing the area where you will be bottling so that the trub is not disturbed during the bottling process. In other words, try not to move the bucket just before bottling. Primary fermentation ambient temperature is about 68f. Allow the yeast to ferment up to whatever temperature it prefers.

To bottle your beer, precondition each sanitized 16oz bottle with 1 Northern Brewer Fizz Drop. Attach a 5-8 foot section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose to the Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot and the other end of the hose to the Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler. Slowly open the spigot until it is fully open. Place the spring tip filler into the bottle and press the tip inward on the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle until the liquid reaches the top. Remove the filler and the bottle will be filled to the optimal height.

Secondary fermentation in bottles takes between 14 and 21 days. 17.5 is usually a safe number of days to allow carbonation to build.

To add a bit of perceived sweetness and rounded maltiness to the finished product try to get your PPM of Calcium and sodium to about 50. CaCl and non-iodized table salt or sea salt are fine for reaching this water chemistry. Your local municipal water company should have posted your water mineral content. If you are on well water, you can start with distilled/reverse osmosis water and build the water chemistry from there. Just use a PPM calculator.

Don't forget to sanitize everything including the outside rims of the brewing equipment and even the outside of the yeast packet.

Yeast: S-05
Batch Size (Gallons): 5.25
Original Gravity: 1.058
Final Gravity: 1.010
IBU: 43.6
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 12
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 at 62 degrees
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): dryhopping
Tasting Notes: A balanced APA with malt flavor, and hops flavor, for a nice APA.

5 pounds pale malt (I used marris otter)
3 pounds vienna malt
2 pounds Munich malt
1/2 pound crystal 20L
1/2 pound crystal 60L

1 ounce Cascade 60 minutes
.75 ounce cascade 30 minutes
1 ounce Cascade 10 minutes
1/2 ounce cascade 5 minutes
1/2 ounce cascade flameout

1 ounce cascade (dryhop)

I used homegrown cascade for the late hopping additions, so had to guestimate the final IBUs, but used commercial pellet hops for the bittering additions (8% AAU).

Mashed at 154. Fermented at low ale temps (62) for two weeks, then dryhopped for a week.

This beer is my attempt at Lakefront Brewery's Cream City Pale Ale. I don't know if it's close- we don't have any to compare it to! But i was going for a slightly bitter, malt forward, APA. It worked! This beer is balanced, but definitely an APA. It's our new "house beer".

Edited to add new information: I don't use S05 much any more as it never clears well for me and can have "peachy notes" I no longer like. I love WLP001 for this beer, which is very similar but clears a bit better with no "peach" notes. I also mash at 152 with my new system, as I get better attenuation that way.

Notes: Brewed 6/15/16. Strike temp was 17F above mash temp and I had to cool it a couple degrees. Had to cut the sparge about a gal short because we hit 2 brix. In kettle efficiency was about 86% (1.042) which puts it right on target. Cooled the wort down to about 64F. Ended up with about 10gal in the fermenters including the 2 liter starter. Efficiency was very high at 93% and way too strong of a beer (addition of corn sugar helped). We diluted the the beer down with about a gallon to 11 gal and the gravity balanced out a bit. The brewhouse efficiency reflects this and it leveled out to 84%.

Notes: Using Columbus and Chinook in place of Magnum/perle combo.
This 2016 recipe was near spot on. Bitter/sweet ratio was really good.

8 Jan 2017 | Changing the following:
Magnum/Columbus bittering combo (.5/.5oz -> .75/.75)
--> total inc 13 IBU
14 -> 12 oz C60
Light DME -> Pilsen DME
5 -> 10 g Gypsum
3 -> 0 g Chalk

New version a little bitter, and hop flavor jumbled. Go back to perle (from .75 columbus to .5 perle). Back off on Gypsum (10->8g). Pump up C60 (12->14oz)

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.
