This one is tried and true guys and gals. It's a great West Coast style American Amber. Hop forward but balanced. On the dark end of the style's range with a great malt complexity.

Notes
preboil of 12.9 gallons came in at 1.046 on par with 88% mash.
1.053 @ 11 gallons = 86.5 brewhouse. Chilled to 79, pitched US-05 Dry, one pack per carboy. Put in ferm fridge at 66F.

Transfered to secondaries on 6/29/08 (8 days in primary) to make room for barleywine partigyle racking. Krausen had mostly fallen out.

Checked FG on 7/3/08 - 1.014 temp corrected from 66F. Taste is balanced, non cloying, no off flavors. Hop flavor is just slightly forward like a West Coast Amber. Color is exacly what I was going for. Clarity was excellent for only being 2 weeks old. Racking to keg next weekend would be fine.

Racked to two kegs on 7/7/08. Nice flavor. One goes in the kegger at 13psi.

Awarded Bronze at Hilton Head Heroes Competition (first non dry hopped version)
Dryhopped second keg with 1oz Centennial Leaf on 11/7/08 and bottled for Splitrock competition.

Tasting notes 11/12/08. Dry hop vegetal astringency has mellowed. Amazing hop aroma. This is by far the best beer I've made to date.
