Boardwalk Pale Ale

Just a basic Pale Ale that's refreshing, but flavorful and interesting to drink.

Brewer: Cameron Dougall Email: -
Beer: Boardwalk Pale Ale Style: English Pale Ale
Type: All grain Size: 5.25 gallons
Color:
15 HCU (~10 SRM)
Bitterness: 35 IBU
OG: 1.046 FG: 1.010
Alcohol: 4.6% v/v (3.6% w/w)
Grain: 6.5 lb. British pale
1 lb. Wheat malt
1 lb. American crystal 60L
Mash: 75% efficiency
I use a HERMS, so I tend to dough in a bit low work up. Aim for around 152-154°f.
Boil: 75 minutes SG 1.037 6.5 gallons
Not a big fan of farting around with the boil. As long as I make it past the break without any big problems, I call it good.
Hops: 1.5 oz. Fuggles (4.75% AA, 60 min.)
1 oz. Fuggles (4.75% AA, 15 min.)
1 oz. Fuggles (4.75% AA, 0 min.)
Yeast: Safale S-04. Fast, good, and definatly english. Not so estery, but not so borring as well. Besides, dry yeast are getting so good, no reason to mess with the liquid.
Log: Fermeted around 67° in my basment. Love the new house. Looks like rain or shine, snow or beating sun, the basment stays 67°.
Carbonation: 2.2 volumes is perfect.
Keg: 10.0 psi @ 42°F (OR)
Corn Sugar: 3.55 oz. for 5 gallons @ 67°F
Tasting: As always, the perfect pint is the last pint. The first one was really good too. Early draw had a little bit of a yeast bite from short secondary. Needed 2 weeks insted of one, but I was in a rush.
