we just killed our last keg of this, so good... we just picked up another 20lbs of grain...lol. This is a great "house" ale. Appeals to the masses, and the discrimanting pallet. A real nice combo of grain & yeast.

I have Pacman yeast on hand, would that work well in this?
Yooper said:Yes, especially if you can ferment at 60-62 degrees or thereabouts. That would be ultra "clean" finishing.

Ok, I wasn't thinking when I was grinding up my grain and accidently put in a full pound of carapils and biscuit rather then the 1/2 pound it calls for. How much is this going to change the OG of this recipe? Just so I know how close I am when it comes out. Also, how much do you think this might alter the flavor??
Hi Yooper,
First, thanks for the recipe. A few days ago I bought ingredients for the Da Yoopers Pale Ale, and this Cream Ale. I just brewed this one.
Now, as I was going to reply to this thread, I noticed that I maybe f**d up... I bought pale ale, and maris otter, and on this one I used the pale ale, but now I notice that I should have used the maris otter... I hope it doesn't ruin the recipe!!
Well.... I guess I will have to use the Maris for the House Pale Ale
Thanks again and I'll try to remember reporting the results here.
I am working this recipe for my next brew. It is a three gallon recipe. I have changed the hops just because these are what I have on hand.
Beer smith is estimating my OG at 1.052 and the IbUs 21.4. The IBUs are high but I don't want to deal with amounts smaller than 1/4 oz.
Thoughts on this recipe? Think this hop combination will work?
4.8 pounds Maris otter
1/2 pound flaked corn
4 ounces biscuit malt
4 ounces Carapils
.5 ounces Fuggles 5.1% (60)
1/4 ounce Cascade 7.1%(10)
1/4 ounce Willamette 4.4%(flameout)
Well, I screwed up. Instead of Marris Otter, I bought plain old 2 row base malt. I loaded the specialty grains on top of the two row so, in traditional RichBrewer fashion, I'll go ahead and brew her up as is.
It will be lighter in color and it won't be as malty but it will be beer.
OG was 1.052, Following through the recipe after 24 days and my final gravity ends up at 1.032. What should I do now? Did it not ferment all the way?
Thanks
And, in traditional RichBrewer fashion, it will be better than the original.
That's what you always seem to do- "screw up", and make it better than I ever did.

Oh I think not! You are THE Yooper of legend here at HBT and I would never presume to make a beer better than you.
I am out of 2-row and pale malt but I have plenty of 6-row. Anyone want to tell me if they think using 6-row as a base malt for this recipe would be a good idea?
