James Squire Golden Ale

[DJ]

One of favs at the moment..

Have searched but cant find anything..

Anyone got a receipe?

[Aussie Claret]

Hi,
if you are making a K&K, then use a good base pale ale kit, something like Coopers Pale Ale, 1kg LDME, 200g caramalt, boil some amerillo hops 20g for 15minutes, another 20g for last minute.

If you rack taste during racking and perhaps add another 20g amerillo or cascade dry hopped, depending upon your taste.

I haven't made this recipe but should be somewhere close.

Looks like a good place to start AC.
I'd probably halve the 15min addition & add 10g to the 1min addition.

ok, silly question time....

What is caramalt and can I get it at the home brew shop

[rwh]

Caramalt is a kind of malted grain that is available from the homebrew shop.

Caramalt is the lightest possible colour crystal malt and carries a soft Toffee Caramel flavour and aroma. Caramalt is ideal for the creation of Amber Ales and light beers, where you may desire a subtle caramel flavour. (from here)

[DJ]

boil some amerillo hops 20g for 15minutes, another 20g for last minute.

And where can I get Amerillo hops?

My local shop doesnt have them (he said he hasnt heard of them) and the country brewer doesn't have any on thier website..

HELP?

LETHAL,
I'm gonna make a golden ale.. My fav beer ATM.


Have done the amber twice though.. cant quite get that "nutty" after taste in my brew though..

[Cat]

It's funny, I find the amber ale a little sweet for drinking now when it previously used to be one of my favourites.

I'm a fan of the Golden Ale now. I find it similar to the Mountain Goat Hightail ale for some reason. I hope to make a decent clone of either one of those beers sometime in the future!

[ACTbrewer]

I am currently trying to coax a starter out of a Mountain Goat Pale Ale. Nice cheap(ish) way to get some good quality liquid yeast.

I put down recipe as suggested above, my brew is now bottled for 3 weeks. Here is what I did:

1 x Coopers pale ale kit
1kg LDME
200g JW caramalt 30min steep
boil amerillo 10g for 8 min
add another 15g at flame off steep for 15 min
23L batch
SafAle S-04
3 day primary~21C
4 day secondary
dry hopped 20g amerillo
bulk prime 146g Dextrose
FG1010

This is my 6th batch and is the best so far. I drink it side by side with JS golden ale and here is some comment to get closer to the original:
-need some cascade
-need more sweet
-need more colour and nutty flavour, maybe change 1kg LDME to 1.5kg Amber malt tin
-too much amerillo
-this clone is more bitter than the original

[Stanners]

Maybe a little bit of crystal? Also, i think your bitterness may be a bit on the low side for a clone, but why clone when you can make a better beer like you have done!
