Well, gonna do my 1st AG today. I have done some partial before, so the jump isn't that big. Was planning to do a wheat recipe I came up with, but the grains didn't come in...so I had to make due with what I had available.
The hops I ordered from Yakima....and there isn't a lot of information on the varieties. So, it really is going to be an experiment. As you can see, they are all high in AA, so I pulled them back in to a late boil position and added more of them to get my 20 IBU...otherwise called "hop bursting". Hence the name "Bursting Blonde".
I'm also going to add a little orange peel to the 2nd ferm tank. I am hoping to get a nice fruity flavor out of this one. Flavors other than grapefruit...I've drank enough grapefruit beers in the last few months to last a life time!
Anyways...here is my recipe for Bursting Blonde
