Hi sorry if this is the wrong area.
Does anyone have a recipe or know if one on here for Shipyard APA?
TIA
 
Shouldn't be too hard to put a recipe together. The ABV is 4.5%
Here's the hops:
Dry hopped with a quartet of American hop varieties – Chinook, Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial delivering a big, bold, brash hoppy beer. Drop anchor for a spell and enjoy.
This APA is a collaboration between Master Brewers Alan Pugsley and Simon Yates to craft a classic American style Pale Ale to satisfy the growing thirst of British drinkers for American craft beers.

Peter Austin of Ringwood Brewery founded Shipyard Brewing Co and I know Pugsley likes to insist that he has the only authentic Ringwood yeast outside of Ringwood, which he insists isn't a single strain- so use Ringwood yeast. So what about malt profile? Simon Yates is from Marston's so think Pedigree, but also look at Marston's EPA, maybe he's adapted it for the UK market. Going full circle, Marston's own Ringwood. Shipyard didn't appear in Ringwood pubs until after the takeover so look at the malt profile of Ringwood best and 49er, too.
Ringwood water is hard but Ringwood beers don't taste like hard water has been used so the liquor has been treated.
There, we're narrowing it down.
Let's see what else turns up. I don't mind Shipyard.

Thought so. Here's one: https://www.captainbrew.com/view-recipe/864/Shipyard-clone-mk1

I bought a 5l mini keg of it for £10 from Morrisons and it was very good. Recycled the keg but destroyed the cap getting it out.

You can buy new ones on ebay. Make sure you get the three part one like the one you destroyed and not the two part one which is just a grommet and a bung. I damaged my first one as it's not obvious that you have to push the bottom of the red plastic bit into the can and retrieve it later.

Wow! Thanks for that AA. I'm new to this xand still using kits. Although I might seriously considering a Grainfather in the near future. It was the hop variety I was also struggling with. I recently brew 23l using Mangrove Jack's classic no 11. They assured me it was their closest. It's very nice but doesnt have that hoppy bang that I love. Thanks you.
 
I know I'm ressurecting an old thread but I'm a huge Shipyard fan.
Brewed the Dark Rock part grain Shipyard today and I'll post results when it gets around to tasting
 
For anyone who is interested here's a recipe put together from info received from Alex @Shipyard from Marston's.Change the yeast to Ringwood Ale yeast though I did find the Belgian yeast brings out the Rye.

Not had the Rye in ages, tasty beer.
Don't suppose he's got the recipe for the APA hanging around too?

Cheers Tom
That's version 3 I've put together myself after direction of hops and malts involved though not quantities though Alex was very helpful and I'm sure if you mail them they will give you as much detail as they can.
 
I am on drinking my Dark Rock part grain shipyard, definitely the best brew I have done and worth the extra few quid.

I've contacted Marston's direct as I couldn't find a Shipyard specific email. I'll just have to wait and see what they say if/when they reply 🤞

Cheers Tom
