BJCP 2021 Style - 18B American Pale Ale
This recipe was selected to brew for a friends 40th and therefore I wanted to use a tried and tested recipe as the basis for this brew. I'd like to give credit to Joe Hickey for the original recipe (Bob the Younger), a thank you to him for publishing it on our wiki page.
At the time of brewing I had to use what I had available mind, grist included some Vienna Malt to add some additional breadiness and a touch of Caramunich, more to give that pleasing orange hue to the beer. A classic hop schedule on this beer, it works incredibly well with the only variable that I used Cryo Mosaic for the dry hop and the aroma has lasted so well in keg and bottle I would recommend spending that few extra £'s on these hops. Yeast happened to be a 2 year old packet which was found at the back of the brewing fridge, which did the job well and yeast overall presented the hops very nicely. If you've not used it before for this style its worth a try.
