This is the one I have been brewing for almost two years I cant keep it in the house. I steped it up to a 14.5 gallon batch and it goes quick.
I love the California V yeast for this beer

I wonder when he changed it. Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought his podcast episode simply called for an ounce of Fuggle. I'm far too lazy to go look it up and listen to it.

I use his blonde recipe with williamette for my my house ale, I renamed it and call it Superior Blonde it always goes the fastest out of what ever I have on tap (usually 8 to choose from).

Drooling... I so need to do a low IBU, low alcohol beer that is non-blended. I am scouting out recipes, but lager is next on the agenda so ales will have to wait. I'm looking forward to lawnmower ales this next summer.

Going to brew a variant of this one on Sunday. Jamil's recipe calls for Crystal 15....which my LHBS does not carry. (I haven't really seen it anywhere, for that matter.) So, anyway, I split the total Crystal bill in half: Half Crystal 10 and half Crystal 20. Also, as stated previously, in Jamil's book, Williamette hops are used - also, OG is 1.051 (so it's a little heavier.) I am following the recipe pretty much straight outta the book. Seems like a crowd pleaser!

Any point to a longer mash / boil for this one? I know a lot of cream ale recipes recommend it. Course, there's no adjuncts in this recipe, so perhaps it's not worth it.

Any other advise from those experienced with this recipe??

Looks nice and simple!

bkov -

Not quite sure what you mean? The recipe is at the top of this thread.

I can post the recipe as written in Jamil's book, if you need it. Can't do it now though...as I don't have the book with me.

It's basically American 2-row, 1lb of 10L and an ounce of Willamette at 60 mins. The 2-row would be enough to hit 1.050 depending on your efficiency.

I'm brewing 11 gallons of it tomorrow but dropping the OG to 1.038 and 16 IBU.

Would this be a good one to try a little Lemon or Orange zest in it?
