Me and my wife are expecting our first baby (it's a boy!!!) in about 2 months! I am now thinking about brewing something up that the entire family can celebrate with!
I am leaning towards a pale ale or even a blonde with a citrusy backbone so it will hopefully meet most everyone's taste buds for enjoyment.
I would be aiming for a session beer around 4 - 4.5% abv and 20-30 IBU's most likely. The Amarillo has 10.9% AAs so I was thinking of this type of recipe:
Will call it Stork Blue Pale Ale
9 lbs 2 row
1 lb Vienna
4 oz Crystal 40
.25 oz Amarillo 60 mins [10.2 IBU]
.75 oz Amarillo 15 mins [15.2 IBU]
1 oz Amarillo Flame out
Expected OG 1.048
Expected FG 1.014
Color 5.3
IBU: 25.4
ABV: 4.46%
Anyone made an all amarillo ale before? How did it turn out? Would you add citra to this or is that possibly overkill?
Thanks!
