So, I'd like to develop a new house pale ale recipe on my own. I'd like it to be a pretty easy drinking, low to medium bitterness with a good floral hop aroma. I want to make something that I can enjoy on a regular basis but one that house guests will also enjoy. I prefer a stronger hoppy brew myself, but I want to dial that back a bit to a more neutral and smooth pale ale. Rather than pushing the hops, I'd like to highlight the malt profile and sweet character. Also important is price, which for this 5.5 gallon batch is just $10.18!!!
