Recipe Critic: Small Amber

I feel like BM! I'm trying to take a clone recipe for St. Arnolds Amber (in my recipe drop down) and shrink it.

After messing around a bit I came up with this based on ingredients I'll soon have on hand.

Beer Style:American Amber Ale
Type:All grain
Size:5.5 gallons
Color:6 HCU (~5 SRM)
Bitterness:23 IBU
OG:1.038 FG:1.011
Alcohol:3.4% v/v (2.7% w/w)

Grain:6 lb. American 2-row
2 lb. German Munich
0.25 oz. American chocolate

Mash:70% efficiency
Hops:0.5 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 60 min.)
0.5 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 30 min.)
0.5 oz. Hallertauer (4.25% AA, 10 min.)



So, what do you think?

Thanks guys

Looks pretty good. You probably don't need a full quarter-pound of chocolate, I'd either drop that to 2 ounces or sub in something like a Carafe to get color w/o much roast. Take a look at the APA in my recipes for an idea of how I approach the "session-amber" beer. Mine's a little too light for an amber ale, but's it's real clean and drinkable.

Thanks for the reply.

It's a quarter ounce of chocolate btw...
