I just drank a bottle of my first ale 9 days after I put it in primary and it is absolutely delicious! It's crisp, refreshing and has flavors of pine, citrus and apricot undertones. Even my super picky wife likes it
I followed this recipe:
Size: 5 Gallons
8.6lbs Breiss light malt extract
3 cups white sugar
1lb Crystal 60L
1.5oz cascade hop pellets (60 min)
.5oz cascade hop pellets (5 min)
1tsp irish moss (20 min)
Nottingham Ale Yeast (I made a starter 4 hours before pitching with some lme and warm water)
I pitched the yeast at 80 degrees and kept it between 65 and 70 degrees after that
OG: 1.080
FG: 1.014 after only 3 days
I left it in primary for a total of 7 days, primed with .75 cups corn sugar and bottled. 2 days later I popped a bottle open and it tastes amazing. I understand that 9 days is a ridiculously short amount of time to ferment anything; however, since I was able to make it work quickly this time do y'all think I could consistently reproduce this recipe in under 2 weeks or did I just get lucky this time?
