AG Rogers type clone

[drsmurto]

Planning on putting down a nice easy drinking Rogers typle clone. Only had this beer for the first time quite recently and was impressed. Some sort of light amercian amber/brown ale?

Anyway, read a bit about it and came up with this recipe.
21L - OG 1.038, IBU 27, EBC 24
2.50 kg Pilsner (Weyermann) (3.3 EBC) Grain 69.44 %
0.80 kg Munich I (Weyermann) (14.0 EBC) Grain 22.22 %
0.20 kg Caramalt (Joe White) (49.3 EBC) Grain 5.56 %
0.10 kg Chocolate Malt (Joe White) (750.6 EBC) Grain 2.78 %
30.00 gm Goldings, East Kent [4.50 %] (60 min) Hops 17.8 IBU
15.00 gm Cascade [6.00 %] (20 min) Hops 7.2 IBU
15.00 gm Cascade [6.00 %] (5 min) Hops 2.4 IBU
0.50 items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs SafAle American Ale (DCL Yeast #S-05) Yeast-Ale

Mash high, 69-70C to give an OG of approx 1.015 which is 3.0% ABV.

Comments/suggestions? Swap the pils for ale malt? English yeast?

Hi Doc,

I'm a bit after the fact, but how did this one turn out?

I brew a Rogers type beer regularly.

Looking back at my records i brewed something similar but since then the recipe has evolved and the last few have been this recipe - Link

The hop for a more authentic rogers is cascade but i like to use this quaffing beer as a dump for leftover hops so in the past i have used various combinations of cascade/amarillo/styrian goldings/nelson sauvin/galaxy.

More malt and hop than a Rogers in a lower abv.

The last one had an FG of 1.014, OG of 1.036 so an ABV of 2.9% on tap.

Will be brewing another of these very soon. Always like to have a lighter ABV beer on tap.

Thanks Doc. As mentioned in another thread, I tried an Emerson's Bookbinder Bitter yesterday.

It's 3.7% (similar to Roger's) and has a very similar colour to Roger's but the hop flavour and aroma is far more pronounced, and it also seemed a tad maltier.

Apparently it's brewed with Fuggles and Riwaka hops.

Cheers,

Oliver
