So for my third brew i want to make a pale ale but i want to throw in a little challenge, other than making the standard KIT + SAF yeast + brew blend 15.


here are the two recipes

Start with beerkit: Black Rock Pale Ale
Use Brewblend: #15
Malt Extract: -
Yeast: Safale 56

The is also a LCPA clone here to in there book.

Start with beerkit: Black Rock Pilsner Blonde
Use Brewblend: #15
Malt Extract: 150g wheat
Yeast: Safale 56
Hops: 15g cascade, 10g willameete


Now i like the idea of coopers pale ale clone... why dont i see the actuall "coopers" tin used in suggested recipes and apparently Pride of Ringwood hops is used in the real deal...

can you do a can of "coopers pale ale" with a brew blend 15 with say some 15g POR simmered for 5 min strained and tossed into the wort.


i dunno... should i just stick with the easy stuff first....
can i use safale s-04 instead of 56?

whats that pale ale clone recipe like?


Ps i know you guys love suggesting recipes and i appreciate it but please refrain from providing an advanced recipe that i dont understand hehehe

You'd get closer to a CPA style if you re-cultured some CPA yeast from a couple of longies. The US-56 is for American Pale and gives a fruitier taste IIRC.

ok so i read a bit about culturing yeast...

its refered to as a starter yeah?


in that case do i still use safale yeast aswell..??

does anyone have a good step by step guide for making a starter... and how many CPA long necks do i need

One LN will do, but two is better.

Just pour off the beer, let the yeast sediment come up to room temp, add malt extract liquid (100g per 1L water). Insert airlock and let sit at ~25*C for 24-48hours or so. Then either pitch, or stick in fridge until needed.
