I brewed 'this' beer up last saturday. I quote the 'this' because of the following: about a pound of grains ended up in the cushions of my car's back seat and I only used Cascade and Williamette hops. My OG was 1.046 compared to the 1.060 that its supposed to be. I'm tentatively calling this an 'Indian Amber Ale' since I'm pretty sure it'll be very hoppy due to the lighter body but same amount of hops. Comments are welcome.
Brewed this one again today with some buddies. We had a good time and the wort looks good. Mashed at 154 and I'm going to ferment at 65. I am also going to add a half ounce of sterling along with the cascades for the heck of it. I enjoyed this the first time I did it and I fully expect to repeat the joy!
Brewed this one per recipe (except the dry hops) on Aug 20. Went into bottles tonight after an 11 day dry hop (0.75 cascade + 0.75 sterling) and then a 4 day cold crash to around 38 deg f.
I don't know why I bother with any other reddish brown beers. This one kicks ass and is all I need.
well 5 weeks later fresh off the cascade hops, this is a great beer, intersting complex flavor, i think the cascade dry hops need to settle a bit, but i have 10 gallons of it so that shouldnt be a problem!
well done great beer. cant wait for my friends to try it
Thanks for the recipe. Did 10 gallon batch. I used 04 for one and 05 for the other with a dry hop in the keg. Beautiful color is the first thing everyone says. Will definitely brew this again.
I named this before I knew the name was used commercially, it is not a clone. I picked up a sixer of the Indian Wells brewing lager of the same name when I seen it just over the border in Nevada.
The color is close. Theirs has low head retention and very strong caramel aroma and flavor. No other malt flavors pop out. It finishes quite dry. Not much going on with the hops, just a medium bitterness. It's odd for a lager. I'd have to classify it as a not so malty Irish Red. If I had brewed it the recipe would not get posted here.
Brewing this tonight... its almost done and ready to cool... can't wait for it to be ready to drink...
My first all grain and so far seems to be going without a problem...
