- Tasting Notes
- This is my second most popular beer that I brew for my friends. Scored 40/50.
7.5 lbs 2-Row Brewers Malt
1.5 lbs Munich
1.5 lbs Crystal 60L
4-6 oz Amber Malt (optional if you want to add a bisquit flavor and darker color)
1.0 oz Centennial (60 min)
0.5 oz Cascade (10 min)
0.5 oz Cascade (5 min)
Wyeast 1056 American Ale yeast or US-05 dry yeast
Mash at 154 for 60 minutes.
I call this beer Much Better Amber Ale because it was much better the second time I made it. This is a variation on a traditional kit with a higher hop profile. It is probably the second most popular flavor that I share with my friends. I have probably made 50 gallons on this recipe.
