I didn't get much of a response on the beginner's forum, so I'm cross-posting here. Sorry if you had to read this twice, but I'd really love some feedback...
I have created my first recipe. I'm making an American Pale Ale. My goal is average gravity and bitterness for the style, but with a high level of citrus aroma and flavor. If you have ever tried Widmer Drifter, I want this to be somewhat similar. This is a mini-mash brew. Apologies if I should have posted this elsewhere, but I figure I'm still a beginner, so...
Any feedback would be appreciated. Be gentle!
