Tasting Notes
Hazy and Sweet up front like wheat beer, fairly dry finish, poor head
This batch was brewed in the spirit of Thanksgiving leftovers. The recipe was dictated by supplies I had on hand to avoid dragging the kiddies out to the homebrew shop. As beers go, its a mutt, so I’m not sure what style category it fits in. Starting gravity settled in at 1.050, final gravity was 1.014 with 71% attenuation. 4.7% ABV.

Here’s the recipe (5 Gallon batch):
12lbs Pilsner malt
1lb Crystal malt (20L)
1oz Kent Gouldings hops (pellets) -60min
1oz Fuggles hops (whole) - 30min
1/2 oz leftover homegrown Chinook hops (whole) -15min
SafAle American Ale yeast (dry)

Mashed at 154 for close to 90min. fermented in Ferminator 12 days total @ 65 degrees
