AE is available at most LHBS. You need 1 teaspoon for 5 gallons. (See post #1) Its about $2.50 a container and it will last you at least 15-20 batches.
Drank it of course!! So far its great. I also bottled 1 before going to the 2ndary just to see how that turns out with out drying it. At that point 1.008 starting at 1.035 so not bad. Waiting to Saturday to try that one. It will be a week then,so it should be carbed up.What did you do with the sample you pulled?????
Drank the one I bottled while transfering to the 2ndary last night. Odd flavor think its lots of corn. See what happens after it dries out.
That odd flavor is corn, the AE will convert it to fermentables and the yeast will have some desert.
The end result will be dry. The corn taste will be very faint if at all detectable.
The only taste you should have is the subtle hops. That will be mostly in flav and aroma. It depends how much you went with in the end late boil and/or dry.
It seems like it would have tons of hops flavor, am I missing something?
Don't get me wrong, It sounds way better than miller lite.
I used 1/2oz cascade@45, 1/2oz cascade@30, 1/2oz of Mt hood at 5min I figured out to be right on 17IBU
Thanks fir the reply
a shot of v2.0... i still think i'm going to up the IBU next time, it just seems a little 'grainy' to me... don't get me wrong, this keg was gone as quick as the first, but i'll report back with how version 3 goes.
Tryed it again last night while crushing more grain..(Notice the grain dust on the glass in the pic) And it is coming around corn taste is gone and now a very drinkable beer. I ll give it another week and I am sure it will be great!!
Thanks
I'm a **** and want to try my first all grain ...
can anyone write the original recipe in a easier to read format??
It looks pretty cryptic, and I'd at least like to buy the ingredients next time I pass the HB store..
hey, i know it still wouldent be a miller light clone but interested in your 2cents if i use vienna instead of the 6row
and
cane sugar instead of corn to the same OG?
hop schedule,yeast,AE, everything else the same.
hit my temps and numbers gonna have this carbed and ready for daytona gonna serve it out of a miller lite tap and see what the bmc group has to say
Cascade will be good. BMC drinkerswill notice the difference since ML is made from German or Czech hops. Think of a light american beer closely resembling Bud Ale.
I like the citrusy taste, more so than the traditional German noble hop.
I used sorachi ace several times for a great lemony flavor.
how many packets of US-05, one or two?
How did cream of three crops taste after u used AE,i like that recipe and wanted to try it with AE.Also i love sorchi ace great in am wheat summer brews.
I know this is a miller light post but at wht point did you add the AE. I just added gelatin today to the cream of three crops recipe after two weeks in pim
Ready to rack to a secondary with the AE..The bottle says 1 tspn per 5 gallon. Do I just put a tspn of the stuff in the secondary and rack on top of it. Or is there a process like with the gelatin of adding water boil etc
O and do i shake (aerate) the secondary after like i had to do when i added the yeast in the begining
themcnabs said:I am hopeing to catch you as I am brewing this tomorrow. I am making 10 gallons and am worried about the hops. I am going to use Magnums (13.1) to bitter and Willamette (4.9) for flavor and aroma. With the low alcohol content I am really worried about over hoping this. Do you have any suggestions?
I'm a lazy @ss so don't secondary my beers. Is there any reason I can't throw the AE in the primary after primary fermentation is completed?
What about using a Kolsch yeast from Wyeast? Some people use it for psuedo-lagers. What would the difference in taste be?
I'm also considering Pacman yeast since I'm told it's like US-05/WLP001/WYeast 1056 but on a rampage.
Thanks

Give it a try. I like the idea of the Kolsch...
