My brew session got a little crazy last week, with some classic n00b ideas.
Here's what I did - started off trying to make a classic American Pale Ale.
6# Light LME
1# Light DME
1# Crystal 40
(so far so good)
1/2# honey malt
(wait, what?)
With a weird hop schedule:
.75 oz Cascade pellets 60 min
.25 oz Cascade pellets 20 min
1 oz Ahtanum plug at flame out
Fermenting with White Labs W001 California Ale yeast.
It smells like a freaking gummy bear bubbling through the airlock. My plan is to add a 1/2 pound or so of brown sugar to dry it out, and dry hop the heck out of it with 2oz of Amarillo.
Is this going to suck?
