Hello all, I'm about to brew my first batch of beer this weekend and, needless to say, I am really excited. I picked up Palmer's "How to Brew" and have been reading and taking notes over the last few days. The beginning recipe that Palmer suggests is, as many of you know, a cincinnati pale ale. The recipe in the book calls for 6 AAUs of bittering hops and 5 AAUs of finishing hops. In searching the web (this forum included) almost every cincinnati pale ale recipe I found (Palmer's included) calls for about 12 AAUs of bittering hops and 5 AAUs of finishing hops. That seems like a huge difference, am I missing something here? Can someone point me in the direction of the more correct recipe or point out how I am reading the recipe completely wrong?:cross:
Thanks in advance!
