I'm stuck at home and I want to brew a beer. I've got all of the essentials. I'm looking for something pretty plain since it's meant for a church function. The last time, I made a pale ale and it was a hit.
It's definitely an ale. I have lager yeast, but I want a quick turn around. The yeast will be Safbrew WB-06.
Ive got about 6 lbs of dry wheat malt extract and about 2 lbs of light malt extract. I've got what looks to be 1/2 lb of medium crystal malt and 1/2 lb chocolate malt. I'll be damned if I know exactly what they are, I've lost the receipt.
I've got a variety of hop pellets, but nothing that screams pale ale at me. I have 2 oz of Cascade pellets (5.4 %AA, ok that one screams pale ale), 4 oz of Czech Saaz (3.4% AA, I love that aroma and will often dry hop with it), and 2nd German Hallertauer pellets (3.6 %AA, I have no idea why, it's not listed in any of my previous recipes.). I was pretty sure I had aquired some hop pellets with crazy high AA during the shortage, but for some reason I can't find them. Yes, some of these pellets have been in the deep freeze for years. I haven't found any issues with them.
Ordinarily, I would just throw something together, but since this is meant for public consumption I figured I'd consult. More than likely, I will have started by the time I get an answer. My plan is to steep all the grains, then add 2 oz Cascade (maybe 1oz Hallertauer I don't know). I'll use 4.5 lbs wheat extract and 2 lbs light extract. Then finish with Hallertauer and Saaz.
It might be a bit potent, so I may reduce the extract. It seems I don't have a good clarifier on hand. Is there anything I might have lying around that will work.
