Tasting Notes
Crisp, light, creamy mouth feel
This is one of my favorites to make now. It's crisp, light, creamy mouth feel, slightly malty, slightly hoppy. Yummy!

GRAIN
9 lb. 2-row US Pale
1.25 lb. Crystal 60L
0.25 lb. Dextrine (could up to 1/2)

HOPS
0.75 oz Pearle 7% (60)
1 oz Cascade 6.9% (2)

Gypsum (30)

MASH
60 min @ 154

I ferment this in the mid 60's.
California Commons typically have 30-40 IBU ratings, so this cuts that in half (thus the un-common). Also, I don't believe Pilsner yeast is commonly used for CC's, but I find it adds the right malty profile I'm looking for in the beverage. It's a Pilsner Ale.
Cheers.
