I am going to make a Lite American Lager. This one will have 30% adjuncts to it and a nice floral finish and should be a refreshing Porch/Lawnmower beer, also it should only have to lager for about 30 days. This is attempt number two at this recipe. The first one was fair so I made some changes, they are as follows: Substituting half of the 2 row with a Pilsner malt, First Wort Hopping this time, and Increasing the Adjuncts. I plan on a 11G batch, splitting the batch using two different yeasts. I have a lager yeast cake that I'm going to pitch half onto (WPL800) that made a great Pilsner, And I'm going to do a Steam beer with the other half using Danstar's Nottingham fermenting down around 60-64.
At this point you may be asking yourself (why make a BMC?). Well my favorite beer style is an English Amber and in the past I have not strayed to far from that style/type. I am trying to expand my brewing processes in an attempt to be a better brewer, as I hope we all would. I have recently started brewing lighter beers (Lagers that are light in Alcohol, Body, and Color) that have lots of character and complexity which is not as easy as it sounds.
Personally, I am of the opinion that not everything is about Hop Monsters and High OG! I have enjoyed this journey tremendously and I hope everyone is open minded and gives it a try.
I'm calling this one "Spuds Evil Clone".
