I hav'nt been around for a while but still brewing. After my Bo pils "pale ale" I thought I would try some more Saaz in a hoppy beer. I had heard of other people using Saaz and Cascade together. I have never made a wheat beer so I thought that would be a good combination. I added a bit of Galaxy to satisfy my hop craving. I think goulaigan had told me once not to over do the galaxy on first try so I over did the Cascade and Saaz instead
I fermented @ 19c (66.2f) for 5 days upped it to 21c (69.8f) over 2 days. Dry hopped @ 21 for 4 days and crashed to 2c (35.6f) for 3 days. 2c is all my little ferm fridge can handle in this hot weather we are having atm. I like crash chilling as it makes force carbing very easy.Im very happy with the result. I should have done a 21-23lt batch as I lots a bit of beer to trub and dry hops soaking it up. Next time I might try it without the Ale malt and maybe use euro malts. Id like to try a APA with mostly Pils malt too.
Cheers.

Special Instructions/Notes on this Beer
20 min hop additions added @ 0 min. 0 min hop additions added @ 85c. Kettle cooled over night and yeast pitched the following day. Dry hop additions may not follow recipe depending on what hops are left over. PS I did not cool over night. I ended up no chilling. 50g cascade & 30g Galaxy. Tastes great! I should have upped the batch size for dry hopping with alot of hops as the hops soak up alot of beer.
