She never liked beer before we met, after some time I figured out she would tolerate an amber or the occasional IPA. I went to work brewing until I found something she liked to drink on a regular basis. This is the result:
59% pale 2 row
21% crystal 80
8% Munich
8% Maris otter
2% special roast
1% pale chocolate
I mash in @ 153 for an hour, mash out at 168 for five minutes, and batch sparge at the same temp.
2oz whole willamette (in a bag) @ 60 minutes
1oz whole cascade (in a bag) @ 30 minutes
1oz whole cascade (no bag) @ 05 minutes
It does well with more time in the keg to cold condition and clear up, I normally go for a couple weeks. Pours a deep reddish (nearly brown) with a medium off white head. I call it an amber because when she describes her favorite things about beer, she describes an American Brown, but will only purchase beers labeled "amber."
