Well since this is my first recipe, I thought I'd call on the help of you fine folks. Basically, I went on the BJCP website and picked grains and hops that I thought fit the style. Because, I've never made my own recipe before I'm open to any and all opinions and ideas. The only thing I for sure want out of this beer is for the malt and hop character to be more balanced as opposed to leaning toward the hoppy side. I kinda want this to be a beer that the "general public" will enjoy because if it turns out well I will be brewing it often. So, here goes:
American Amber Ale
Type: Extract
Boil volume: 2.5 gal
OG: 1.047
FG:1.014
IBU: 32
SRM: 13
Fermentables
6lbs Amber LME
1lb Crystal 60L
.5lb Dextrin
.5lb Munich Light
Hops
.5oz Centennial 60min
.5oz Cascade 20min
.5oz cascade 1min
If it matters, I used the recipe calculator on tastybrew.com. And once again, I really have no idea if the ingredients I have chosen make sense so, I'm ready for any criticism, just be gentle haha.
