Here is my Award winning American Pale Ale :rockin:
Malt lbs
74.1 % 8 American Two-row Pale
9.3 % 1 Victory Malt
4.6 % 0.50 German Munich
4.6 % 0.50 Crystal 40L
2.3 % 0.25 Belgian Aromatic
2.3 % 0.25 Wheat Malt
1.4 % 0.15 Crystal 60L
1.4 % 0.15 CaraPils
Hops
40.0 % 1.00 Amarillo Pellet 7.0%AA 60 min
20.0 % 0.50 Citra Pellet 12.0%AA 10 min
20.0 % 0.50 Amarillo Pellet 7.0%AA 0 min
20.0 % 0.50 Citra Pellet 12.0%AA 0 min
I mashed at 152 F for the winning batch. This was the 3rd time I made it, some hop changes made a difference as well as the addition of the Wheat (head retention) and the Crystal 60 (I think). It is just a little sweeter than before, but I think it makes a difference it still finishes crisp and clean, but that little bit of sweetness helps.
MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A YEAST STARTER!! IT WILL NOT BE AS GOOD WITHOUT IT!!
Yeast starters are crucial
