I am making all the beer for a friends wedding come fall. We are going to make some different beers so he can decide on the 4 kinds that will be offered. This weekend we are going to make a Red Ale and a Pale Ale.
So since it will be an open bar I would prefer if folks got fewer stronger beers as opposed to a bunch of less alcohol beer since I am paying for everything involved with the beer as my present to him.
I would like to bump up the ABV by 1% at least but I would like to not have it hurt the flavor. Yes there will be more alcohol flavor but I don't want any other adverse flavors.
Here are my two recipes. If you have an extract recipe that you think is better and will have a higher ABV feel free to post it.
Red Ale
Hopped Light Malt Extract (1 can)
Unhopped Light Malt Extract (1 can)
Melanoidin Malt Grain (4 oz)
Hop Pellets (1 oz)
Ale Yeast (1 pack)
Pale Ale
Hopped Light Malt Extract 1 can
Light Dried Malt Extract 2 lbs
Crystal Malt Grains 6 oz
Hop Pellets 1 oz
Ale Yeast 1 pack
