Hawk Amber Ale

I just tasted my first from scratch recipe. It is a partial mash recipe. I was shooting for a lot of aroma without a strong hop flavor. This was also my first shot at dry hopping. I used 1.0 oz. of Centennial in a 1 gallon paint strainer suspended in the Better Bottle. I got almost exactly what I was looking for, maybe a bit more aroma. I have a Pale Ale in bottles with 2.0 ounces of Centennial for the dry hopping. It's very tasty and will probably be even better next week. It has been in the bottle for 13 days.

I will be converting this to all grain in the future.
