American Pale Ale | Grain to Glass | BIAB All Grain Brewing

Here I brew a classic American Pale Ale with Centennial and Amarillo hops. The recipe is taken from David Heath's channel and he kindly shares all recipes on Brewfather. I brew this using the brew in a bag method using all grain and a mixture of hop pellets and whole hops. American ale yeast the rest. The result is lovely crisp citrusy pale ale.

David Heath knows his stuff. I think he is a master brewer. Cannot go wrong with his recipes and you certainly didn't. Looks and sounds like a good beer

[@G-townbrewer]

I’ve done a few of his recipes now and they’ve all turned out great. I love the detail and explanation in his videos. Cheers 🍻

[@hefsbeerreviews4127]

Nice! It looks like a great beer. I haven’t seen melanoidin used a lot so it was good to see the impact it had on the finished product. Cheers!

[@G-townbrewer]

Thanks mate. The melanoidin certainly adds some interest to the beer. Cheers 🍻

[@tubedinoz]

Lovely beer. That's a great combo of hops! Pleased it turned out so well. Cheers 🍻

[@G-townbrewer]

Thanks mate. Really enjoying this one. Cheers 🍻

[@TankardBrewing]

DAVID HEATH IS THE GODFATHER!

[@G-townbrewer]

He certainly is!

[@SCROWMD]

Looks great, thank you for the video.Just curious, did you leave all the hops in the kettle even through the whirlpool? That kettle looked mighty full of bags.
Cheers

[@G-townbrewer]

I did yes, I just fished them out towards the end of the cooling. They'd be in there until the end if you don't use a bag. Cheers!

Good stuff as always.................quick question, if there is a 23 lts recipe and you only want to do half that, 11.5 lts, can you just half all of the ingredients ??

[@G-townbrewer]

Thanks. Yes, absolutely you can half the ingredients. Alternatively, you can easily scale recipes in brewing software like Brewfather. Cheers.🍻
