How To Brew a Delicious American Pale Ale

[@carlkessler303]

I brewed this and just tapped the keg yesterday. I used the hops I had, so Citra for bittering and Mosaic/Amarillo for flavor/aroma. Came out very good.

Everyone really liked this. Exactly what I was looking for in a pale ale.

Great overview of your American Pale Ale recipe! I think I found my next beer to brew:)

[@bigjplay]

Great video! I’d love to see how you guys do an American Amber Ale! Cheers 🍺

[@thebeerjunkies1]

Thank you! I’ll try to schedule an amber ale in sometime in the next few weeks

Great video. I will be brewing this soon, but how did you get the 15 ppm sodium without adding salt?

[@thebeerjunkies1]

Thank you! I forgot to mention that I add a small amount of canning salt when I need to add sodium

1:30 Is it really helpful to quote ppm for water additions...considering i don't know anyone who can measure that?

[@thebeerjunkies1]

Thank you for the comment! It sure is, the ppm of those ions plays a huge role in the overall character of your beer. It is easier to measure them than it may seem. All you would need to do to start is send a sample of your brewing water to a company like Ward Laboratories and they will measure everything I mention. Then you can use the free resource Bru’n Water to adjust salt additions to control the ppm of the previously mentioned ions. Cheers!

Hey. Just wondering what you are using to make your water adjustments. Thanks

[@thebeerjunkies1]

I use the free software Bru’n Water for all my water profile adjustments

The underage drinking PSA followed by you downing that pint was unexpectedly hilarious and awesome
