Summer session brewski

Post by FrozenInTime »

I'm thinking of doing up a nice, refreshing pale ale for a summer session/lawnmower brew. Anyone have a good all grain BIAB recipe? I have lots of 2-row so it should be based on that. Nice, light, tastey, with a crisp but not over powering citrus bite. I'm thinking 3.5 - 4% ABV, using up some of my US-05 yeast but I'm open to others. I could come up with something, but I'm wanting a tried/trued recipe if anyone would care to share.

What y'all got?

I haven't tried it but it sounds like the one Jeff has done often and is very popular on HBT would fit the bill. Here's their recipe.

I second the Centennial Blonde, it was my first thought. It's a great beer, has a quick turnaround, is always a hit. I think I've made three batches.

I am very partial to white wheat beers for summer session beers. And it doesn't take very much hops to give them a nice citrus flavor.

I've tried wheat several times, just can't get the taste right. I got spoiled when I was in Germany years back, that was some damn good wheat beer!! Since then, I have not drank one I could stand, even my own. Thanks for the suggestion, all are appriciated.

A SMaSH lager (or faux lager with clean fermenting ale yeast) with fruity hops sounds like a winner to me. I just did one with Belgian 2-row and Belma hops, fermented with steam beer yeast at the low end. Crisp, fruity, and refreshing.
