So I'm looking for a nice and balanced Amber Ale. I've just begun home brewing and I want to play with the blend of hops and malts along with alcohol content. So what I'm thinking of is a variation of my first brew recipe, a simple amber extract and Willamette hops. I want to add 1 lb. of extract and 1 lb. of dextrose to the recipe to give my yeast plenty of food and nutrients. I also want to steep some grains to play with the character. Plus some good hopping to match the malt. I do like my hops but I don't want to over power it. Here's the breakdown:
7 1/2 pounds Amber malt extract
1 lb. Pale malt
1 lb. Biscuit malt
1 1/4 oz. hops ??? (60 min)
3/4 - 1 oz. (15 and 5 min)
Simple enough?
