There was an AHA Rally April 5, 2007 at Rochester Mills Brewery in Rochester, Michigan. The brewmaster was kind enough to provide us with the stats on all his beers.
My absolute favorite was a Pale Ale he titled "Amarillo Pale Ale". Knockout Amarillo hop flavor balanced by a wonderful malt I'd never experienced.
Anyway, the grain bill was Maris Otter, Crystal 45L, Wheat, Victory, and Brown. Hops are Magnum and Amarillo. OG = 1.056. American Ale yeast.
After researching through the Ray Daniels bible, I decided to go with 70% Maris Otter, 10% each of Crystal 45L and Wheat, and 5% each of Victroy and Brown. I'm totally guessing at the hop additions in terms of amounts and times. It looks more like an IPA than a Pale which it totally OK with me.
Just looking for opinions on the grain percentages and the hop schedule. Thanks!
