A good sounding recipe that and a cracking name for it. :)
Cheers lads. A lot of people love the name alright.
Great looking recipe, was it a 60min or just a 30min boil?
60min boil
I'm going to try this tomorrow, have the ingredients now :)
What ABV did it turn out at? I think Beersmith is estimating about 4.4%, does that sound about right?
Thanks again for sharing the recipe
Lovely beer, judged it at the event really pulls off that tropical fruit tone

4.5% was the abv in the end.
Can anyone recommend an alternative yeast for this? Having a hard time finding American Dream. Is it known by another name ?
Dry: Safale US-05
Liquid: White Labs WLP001 California Ale, Wyeast 1056 American Ale
One last question before I click the Checkout button...The hops, were they pellet or leaf ? Want to make sure I get the weight/quantity correct.
Thanks, really looking forward to brewing this as a nice Summer beer, if we get the weather.
Yeah it's a thirst quencher alright. The hops were pellets. Let me know how it goes for you. Don't be afraid to use tinned mango for the fruit addition, il be adding tinned mango to the current batch next week. Trying to simplify the recipe a little. Less mess more success.
Cheers for that, ingredients ordered. Will definitely post a follow-up once it's been brewed.
I guess there's less infection risk with using tinned mango and you're guaranteed ripe fruit with none of the hassle of cutting around that big daft stone.
just a note on using fruit is that the skin has yeast in it.
Just racked this into secondary with the mangos and lime. Used tinned as I figured more sanitary than fresh. The smell is amazing!! It'll be hard to keep this one until the end of conditioning ;)
An update on this. It's been conditioning for five or six weeks now and it's turned out pretty good.
I used tinned Mango and it looked like one tin was just over one fresh Mango worth of fruit, so I used five tins...this turned out to not be enough as there is just the faintest hint of Mango in the beer whilst the lime is quite strong. It's definitely drinkable and the Mrs thinks it's tasty, which is always a bonus ;)
So if anyone is planning to use tinned, use more than you think. I'm going to brew this again but will up the Mango and maybe reduce the lime zest by one or two limes.
I made a version of this very recently. I put way too much mango in and now it over powers everything ;D Glad it turned out well for you. Id love to try a bottle.
PM me an address and I'll stick a bottle or two in the post, no bother! Would appreciate the feedback
what tinned mango did you use
Tesco Mango slices in syrup.

I rinsed off the syrup as I didn't want the extra sugar, then I mashed them in a sterilised fermenter with a potato masher.
would this beer be a best served young or would it age well. :-\
