I was going through my brewing supplies to try and get rid of grain and hops before they go past their optimal life so I threw together the following lil amber ale.
Ingredients
Amount Item Type % or IBU
0.75 lb Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 9.38 %
6.00 lb Pale Liquid Extract [Boil for 15 min] Extract 75.00 %
0.75 lb Caramunich Malt (47.0 SRM) Grain 9.38 %
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM) Grain 6.25 %
1.00 oz Fuggles [4.80 %] (60 min) Hops 18.1 IBU
0.75 oz Cascade [6.10 %] (10 min) Hops 6.3 IBU
0.25 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs British Ale II (Wyeast Labs #1335) Yeast-Ale
Beer Profile
Est Original Gravity: 1.051 SG
Measured Original Gravity: 1.051 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.012 SG Measured Final Gravity: 0.000 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.00 % Actual Alcohol by Vol: 0.00 %
Bitterness: 30.8 IBU Calories: 0 cal/pint
Est Color: 12.1 SRM
Full boil, started with 6.25 gallons ended at 5.0. This is the first beer where I've actually hit my OG dead on. Pitched yeast after smacking pack 8 hours prior into 72F wort, had massive airlock action within 4 hours. Am anxious to see how this turns out, the wort tasted awesome, nice and caramely with a nice hop bitterness. Will be interesting to see how much sweetness is left behind, will check back!
