Coopers (Apollo) Pale Ale Mod

[Geezah]

Today's recipe has become a favorite of mine ever since Monkeybrew sent me a bottle of his Apollo 3x pale ale.

1 Tin of Coopers APA
1 tin of light LME
100g of Wheat malt grains
100g of Munich malt grains
Apollo whole leaf hops



Get 4l of water up to 67c and add the grains and simmer for 30 minutes





strain out the grains and add 15g of apollo hops and boil for 15 minutes



Flame out add another 15g of hops and leave to steep for 15 minutes as I make up the kit. I also added 5g of irish moss.



Made up to 20l and used the supplied Coopers yeast.

Dry hop with 50g of Apollo in 7-10 days time.

Looking good Geezah!
What was your SG?
Your scales are out! You added 15Gr Hops, Your scales show 16! Don`t try to cheat us!

I really dont measure SG but based upon similar brews i'd say it was 1048 ish.
The munich and wheat malt sugars dont fully ferment out though, so you lose a few points there but I add it for the sweetness added to the ale.


and yeah.... a gram or 2 don't mean much unless its columbian ;D

Nice looking recipe there Geezah.

I haven't brewed with Apollo since that BIAB brew, but I'm planning to bastardize a Woodfordes Sundew kit with medium DME, Apollo & Citra

Cheers
