First off here is the recipe.
6 lb Pale LME
1 lb Wheat LME
1 lb Crystal Malt 20L
.5 lb Cara Pils
1oz Columbus 60 min
.5oz Centennial 15min
.5oz Cascade 5 min
1oz Irish moss 5 min
.5oz Cascade 0 min
1.5 oz Centennial dry
WLP060 American Ale Yeast
OG 1.058
FG 1.006
10 days primary
10 days secondary
I pieced this recipe together from the forums and some suggestions from my LHBS. The problem I have is that it tastes very perfumy and not as clear as I would have liked. I kegged it and let it sit for a while, but it is now cold and carbonated with a lot of perfume and not as much bitterness as I would have liked. Any ideas on how to improve this recipe, or replace a few things so I can get the true pale ale taste I am looking for?
