James Squires Amber Ale

[collapoo]

This is always a hit with my mates, and even the ladies. It's damn close to the original!

Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale 1.7kg
Liquid Amber Malt 2kg
200g Crystal Grain steeped
15g fuggles boiled 10 mins
Kit yeast (I haven't tried with safale or anything yet but this drop is still great using the kit yeast)
23L brewed at 20 C.

Its very drinkable at two weeks and turns into heaven after 6!

Enjoy!

Ooh, that looks like a lovely drop. Bet it's got some oomph to it. JSAA is one of my favourites. I drank my last longneck of a Feb 2007 brew a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful. Will get around to doing an AG brew when the schedule permits.

I would love to hear the hop schedule you will use for the AG. I would like to try an extract version of the JSAA.

I will be doing this recipe this weekend:

5.00 kg Pale Malt, Traditional Ale (Joe White) (3.0 SRM) Grain 87.72 %
0.30 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (140.0 SRM) Grain 5.26 %
0.20 kg Caramalt (Joe White) (25.0 SRM) Grain 3.51 %
0.10 kg Chocolate Malt (Joe White) (381.0 SRM) Grain 1.75 %
0.10 kg Wheat Malt, Malt Craft (Joe White) (1.8 SRM) Grain 1.75 %
20.00 gm Hallertauer, New Zealand [6.80 %] (20 min) Hops 8.6 IBU
20.00 gm Cascade [6.00 %] (20 min) Hops 7.6 IBU
10.00 gm Simcoe [8.00 %] (20 min) Hops 5.0 IBU
10.00 gm Centennial [6.70 %] (20 min) Hops 4.2 IBU
10.00 gm Hallertauer, New Zealand [6.80 %] (5 min) Hops 1.4 IBU

Not sure if it is anything like the JSAA, but it looks mighty tasty

At the LHBS I saw this one and thought I'd give it a go.

JSAA:
Munton's Premium Blonde tin
Liquid Amber Malt Extract 1.5 kg tin
Cluster Hops 12 gr 15 minutes.
Cluster Hops 12 gr flameout.
Safale S04.

I put it on this morning, but due to the HBS not having cluster pellets, he told me to use a 14gr Cluster teabag and I have used that instead. (steep for 10 mins and throw the lot into the fermenter)

I tasted the wort from the hydrometer (SG 1036) and fear that it's not hoppy enough.
I saw that someone mentioned willamette was the correct hops to use in a post somewhere.
Should I panic? Relax and have a homebrew? Dry Hop? Late Hop? Anything?

I did a JSAA clone similar to this one based on probably the same recipe sheet at the HBS. While it made beer that was fine I didn't think it was a very good clone. There's quite a number of threads on this board for JSAA clones and I think that they are much more tested and fine tuned than the recipes that are in those pamphlets at the HBS. That said, relax it should be a fine beer. I'm not sure about dry hopping with willamette, others will know if it will go with the cluster thats already in there.

JSAA is not a very hoppy beer. relax.

I think you'll find that JSAA is supposed to be an english amber ale so i dont think cluster is really an appropriate hop. Fuggles or willamette or east kent golding would be more in style.

Relax and have a homebrew. Then brew another clone (after tasting your current one) with modifications that you think will bring it closer to style. Or try one of the recipes on here. If you frig with your brew now I reckon you'll just spoil it...

Looks great man. I bought myself a Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale can the other day, but I don't have any amber malt extract, so I think I'll try a partial. I think I'll hop it a bit differently to let the malt shine a bit:

Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale 1.7kg
1kg Amber malt
2kg Ale malt
250g Medium crystal
10g fuggles at 20 mins
WYeast ESB yeast
23L
