I recently brewed up a spring cleaning beer with all of the leftover ingredients I had on hand. I'm getting ready to move it to the secondary this weekend and was trying to come up with something interesting to add to it. Being that this is made from stuff that I had around the house I wanted to stick with fairly basic ingredients that I might have on hand or could easily get at the grocery store. I was thinking possibly grapefruit (SN Pale has that sort of mild grapefruity flavor, even though I'm sure it doesn't actually have ant grapefruit in it), but didn't know the best method to do this. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is the recipe I put together, I was thinking of calling it Fabulous Disaster after the old Exodus album (most of my beers have names that are plays on heavy metal songs):
Hops: 1 ¾ oz
½ oz crystal@ 30 min
¼ oz Chinook@45 min
1 oz Chinook @ boil
Sammy Bavarian noble hallertau mittelfrueh@1hr for 5 min (got this free at a beer fest so thought Id throw it in for fun)
Malt: 2 lbs
2 lbs muntons amber dried malt extract
Approx 2 lbs honey
1 lb dark brown sugar
(I was low on malt extract so substituted with brown sugar and honey. Could be a complete disaster)
Grains: 1 Lb -30 min steeping
½ lb carapils
½ lb c20
Yeast:
Red Star Pasteur Champagne, dry
Thanks once again!
