I brewed some beer last night, but I have no idea what to call it.
Here's what I did:
Style: Bock
Type: Extract w/grain Size: 6.0 gallons
Color: 22 HCU (~12 SRM)
Bitterness: 21 IBU
OG: 1.061 FG: 1.018
Alcohol: 5.6% v/v (4.4% w/w)
Grain: 1 lb. American Munich
.5 lb. American crystal 10L
1 lb. American crystal 20L
.25 lb. Belgian Special B
Boil: minutes SG 1.049 7.5 gallons
6 lb. Light dry malt extract
1 lb. Honey
Hops: 1 oz. Fuggles (4.75% AA, 60 min.)
1 oz. Kent Goldings (5% AA, 15 min.)
More or less those were just a bunch of ingredients I had laying around that sounded good.
The volume came out higher than I expected. I started with a little too much water, plus not as much boiled off as I planned. So this brought down my OG and color a little bit. I pitched an active starter of WL013 London Ale yeast, and it started to show a little pressure in the airlock just hours later. This morning it's bubbling away happily.
I was gonna call it a Bock, but the OG came out low due to it being a little watered down.
So....what style of beer would you call this? I might just say Honey Brown?
