The one in the book is the same with 3 exceptions: in the book it calls for Willamette, in the book the recipe is for 70% efficiency, and in the book it calls for 15L crystal.

I think I am brewing this one very soon to be ready for the warm days around the corner.

BKOV -

I saw that recipe somewhere, too. Which is also different than in the book. Here is the recipe as written in "Brewing Classic Styles":

OG: 1.050
FG: 1.011
IBU: 20
Color: 4 srm
ABV: 5.2%
boil: 60 min
Pre boil volume: 7 gal

11.5 lbs. American 2 row
.5 lbs. Crystal 15 ( I couldnt find 15 so I used half 10 and half 20)

Williamette hops, 5.0%AA, 1 oz, 60 min.

Yeast: White labs Cali ale, Wyeast 1056 American Ale

Mash at 152
Ferment at 67

All recipes in his book are based on 70% efficiency.

Good luck!! Hope this helps. I tried to PM you the recipe, but your box was full.

This is definitely a good lawnmower beer, though not particularly my style. My wife drinks it with a lime, and tells me it pairs nicely. Like Corona, only a lot better.

Just a quick note. If you want it to taste like an ale at all, don't use Nottingham. Go with the US-05 or WLP001. Well, I should clarify... if your ferment is in the low 60's, US-05 still produces a nice mild fruity ester. Nottingham is deader than dead.

I racked this beer to the secondary after 7 days with a SG of 1046 and FG of 1008. I had to sample the hydrometeor sample. Oh yea that’s tasty

Can you elaborate on this?

I just meant that its a super clean ferment in the low to mid 60's and offers very little by way of esters. If you want it to taste a little more like a lager it's fine. I suppose you can ferment it a little warmer like 68F also. Otherwise, US-05/WLP001 might be a better choice.

Thank you for your input.
