Spring Beer Recipes: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone (Part 1)

When preparing a recipe I always check the BJCP style guidelines to make sure I check all the boxes. I will often look at the classic examples they give and try that beer while coming up with a recipe. Sierra Nevada decided to post their Pale Ale recipe for folks to try while on quarantine due to COVID 19, so instead of coming up with a recipe I decided to brew the beer that defines the style.

Great video! I’m going to be brewing this same recipe as well in a couple weeks and hope to post a video as well. Cheers

I brewed this a few weeks ago and used Perle and cascade, well that was the recipe I found to use. Oh Well. Hopefully it’s still a good one to drink.

Going to brew this next week, 26th or 27th of March, 2021. I have 6 oz of whole cone hops looking for a home.

You mentioned if I would like to see anything.. how about a Bass Ale clone?

[lukecarney]

I see you used the recipe that was on SN website. They are calling for whole cone in their recipe, but you used pellets (which is supposed to be a 5/1 ratio). Did you use the same recipe amounts in pellets or did you adjust down?

I hope you are only taking a break my man, it would be such a pity if you stopped brewing
