Re: Bubs' Pale Ale
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2015 4:02 pm
So I brewed this yesterday but with a few changes. I wanted the malt flavor to come through a little more, while bumping the aroma from the hops up a bit more. In particular, I wanted strong melon notes. Belma was good, but it was pretty split between melon and strawberry. I decided to swap Belma for Huell Melon and BAM! Honeydew like crazy. Anyhow, here's what version 1.2 looks like:

Amt Name Type # %/IBU
4 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 69.6 %
1 lbs Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 2 17.4 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 3 8.7 %
4.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 4 4.3 %
0.20 oz Galaxy [14.60 %] - First Wort 60.0 min Hop 5 24.5 IBUs
0.20 oz Huell Melon [5.20 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 6 2.9 IBUs
0.20 oz Galaxy [14.60 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 7 4.4 IBUs
0.20 oz Huell Melon [5.20 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 8 1.6 IBUs
0.25 oz Galaxy [14.60 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 9 0.0 IBUs

1.0 pkg American Ale II (Wyeast Labs #1272) [124 Yeast 11 -
=======================
I removed the additions at T-20 and replaced them with flameout additions for a five-minute steep. This should eliminate a good bit of hop flavor so that the malt can come through more. Also, I am probably going to do a three-day dry hop with maybe a half ounce of Huell Melon to really bring that melon aroma out. I'm getting excited just thinking about it!
