Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale (Batch#2)
This is my second batch of this beer. The first batch only lasted about 3 weeks! It was so good I had to order another batch.
Last time I left the beer in the primary for 5 days and secondary for 10 days (i believe) with lid not sealed shut. This time around I only had it in the primary for 15 days (sealed), even thought it only asked for 10 days.
Ingredients
6.5 lbs Extra Pale LME
1.5 lbs Carapils Malt 10L (steep)
8 oz Crystal 30L (steep)
Hops
1.0 oz Cascade 7.8% at 60 min.
0.5 oz. Cascade 7.8% at 30 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 7.8% at 15 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 7.8% at 5 min.
Bottling
FG 1.011 was exactly on!
1 cup of corn sugar (last time i used 3/4 cup and it didn't provide enough carbonation)
Primary 10 days
This is my second batch of this recipe and this time around the beer coming out of the primary had a very fruity smell to it. It was fantastic. I don't recall the first one having this smell.
Cleaning
I also cleaned everything with Iodopher instead of the pink stuff.

Canadian Red
erMy second attempt at making the Canadian Red recipe from Noble Grape.
Description:
This relatively new beer style has been popularized by Molson's Rickard's Red. Canadian Red beer has a depth of colour but retains the lightness of flavour and body expected from a thirst quencher.
The finished beer (with priming sugar) is about 5% alc/vol. Serve Cold.
Ingredients:
400 g Canadian 2 row pale malt (crushed)
80 g roast barley (crushed)
1.8 kg light liquid unhopped malt extract
1.36 kg high malt glucose
10g Northern Brewer (30min)
10g Northern Brewer (1min)
Nottingham Dried Yeast
1 cup corn sugar (bottle)
Primary 4 days.
Secondary 10 days.
