Hi everyone,
I am setting up to brew a batch this weekend, and I am pretty sure I have got a recipe I am happy with, but I would love some feedback. I am going for something highly drinkable, nice and refreshing for the hot summer days.
Wild Dog Days Summer Ale
6.0 lbs. (Muntons) Pale DME
2.0 lbs. (Muntons) Extra-Pale DME
0.5 lbs. Crystal Malt 20L steeped at 150 degrees for 30 mins.
0.5 oz. Centennial (9.9%) hop pellets for 60 mins.
0.5 oz. Centennial (9.9%) hop pellets for 45 mins.
1.0 oz Fuggles hop pellets for 10 minutes
Zest from 2 oranges for 10 minutes
Zest from 1 orange in secondary fermenter
White Labs 001 (California Ale)
½ tsp. Irish moss for 15 mins
I tend to like my beers strong but am thinking it may be a bit too much DME for the level of drinkability I am aiming for, especially since I am splitting this batch with friends, so I may drop it to 5lb./2lb. or even 4lb./2lb.
Thoughts? Advice?
