Great Channel. All respect! I just bottled my cascade beer yesterday. I brew it with European pils malt,S05,and cascade hopstand 80C for 20 min(I brewed last year same and it was like tangerine lager). I will use Maris Otter next time. For me, cascade is most interesting USA hop. I am not big hophead and cascade is really most suptile USA hop with pleasant bitternes and that tangerine grapefruit finish and it's perfect for the summer beer. I really want to brew some lager with cascade. It will be an interesting thing., Cheers !

Great video! Love some Cascade. That US-05 did some work! The dryness definitely doesn't sound like it hurt anything. If you want to try something to fight against the beers getting too dry, you could do a mashout at 168-170F to halt the enzymes. I started doing that with my British and IPA brews because they were all finishing pretty low. You may already do that I couldn't remember from your other brews.

I've been getting into maris otter myself. I started brewing trying to use just standard 2 row, and 2 roe plae ale malt and its lack luster. I thought using crystal malts with it would help but even in small quantities its too sweet and cloying. Maris otter by itself has a perceived sweetness too me even at super low gravities that is absolutely what I've been looking for in my brews. It gives that extra depth of malt flavor that pale 2 row just can't reach unless mixed with some other sweet sugary malt. My smash beers with standard 2 row almost taste like hopped water honestly. Ultra light and not good enough in the flavor department. Maris otter is the way to go! Agreed!

Yes! It is really a winning combo. I found that the grassiness did indeed fade with time but so did the hop flavor, so not exactly a big win. Cryo hops would have been awesome though and would have cut down on that of course.

Do you not waste some of the ingredients if you add the hops in late additions greedy that generously? I guess I am in agreement with most of the recipe, except what difference does adding the hops at 0min do since that only contributes zero IBU on the calculator. According to my calculations, it says Total IBU: 56.94 but that assumes 100% Hop Utilization and pellet hops. Somebody somewhere said that you lose 10% of the extraction efficiency when using a hops spider compared to free floating, although that can sometimes block the filter if it was not whole hops.

I guess it is a sign of the times when 8 oz of hops go into a "Pale Ale"! I am only throwing around 5 at my extra hoppy Pale Ales (and 8-9 at American IPAs). I have to admit that I cringe every time I see you clamp that piece of scrap wood to your kettle. Have you thought of rebuilding that?
@TheApartmentBrewer4 жыл бұрын
The line between IPA and APA is definitely blurred, but according to the BJCP guidelines it can have moderate to high hop flavor. I think while 8 oz of hops may seem a lot, it really was only 6 plus a dry hop and a medium alpha hop as well. Still not as strong as some IPAs but some could see it as one as well I'm sure. I think eventually I'll upgrade from the wood but it's been working fine for a while. What makes you cringe about it?
