I've made that recipe numerous times, You will be happy with it. Although the Jamil recipe I have from the website and book, don't contain honey malt, just the crystal. My personal experience with honey malt is to be very careful with it. 1/2lb in a 10 gallon batch shouldn't be too much. The willamette hops are perfect for blonde.

I should have added this in the begining but Here is where I got the recipe from Untitled

BrianTheBrewer · 03-12-2009, 04:42 AM

Hmmmmmm may have to brew this soon

Mine's in the keg carbing now too....Should be ready in the next couple days. I had an undercarbed taste of it the other day - seems like a real crowd pleaser!

Here's a link to another thread about it in the recipe section of the site:

http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/jamils-blonde-ale-35824/

I went with the recipe from the book (No honey malt and 60 min hops only.) I was trying for something to please the masses at party's over the next few months.

This is definitely a good session beer for home brewers.

My HB club liked this beer a lot. A few stated it so good that they will always have a keg of this in their kegerator. One guy said he would drink it every after work. Its that good.

Its got some malt taste and decent hop flavor.

My BIL and wifes friends couldn't handle the hops. Even being so low.

I told my wife's friend that I was going to revoke her beer snob status over the comment of being too hoppy. She drinks too much rum & coke.

sleepystevenson · 03-12-2009, 04:55 PM

Sweet! I am definately gonna have to "check" the carbonation level again tonight after work....hehehe

It's a good beer to make. Simple and cheap with a focus on malt. I really like this beer.

I fermented mine with Nottingham yeast @ ~55F. It came out a little more like a lager that way.

My wife does not like beer and she likes this one. It's a good beer for people who are not into hoppy beers.
