Boil size - 3 gallons (topped off to 5.5 gallons in fermenter with clean water)

4 lb Briess Light DME

1 lb Crystal 60L
6 oz Crystal 90L

.75 oz Cascade (5.5 AAs) - 60 Minutes
1 oz Cascade - 20 minutes
2 oz Cascade - 5 minutes

Whirlfloc Tab - 15 minutes

Grains mashed for 45 minutes @ 153 F - Sparged with 170 F

Bring to boil
Remove from heat an add DME
Bring to boil, start timer, add hops and Whirlfloc at stated times.

Cool to 70 F w/ wort chiller or ice bath.

Strain into fermenter, aerate, pitch yeast.

Ferment 2-3 weeks at 69 F and bottle with 4 oz corn sugar.

This is a very simple brew but tastes great - I've gotten lots of compliments on this one. It's a pretty straightforward "American Amber" and is a good showcase for the Cascade hops.

BTW, SafAle S-05 works fine in lieu of Notty if you're not a fan.

Since there's no dry hopping, this one is relatively quick as well!

(for extract version lose the two row and add another pound of DME, steep crystal grains at 160 F for 30 minutes)

Cheers!
