I'm a bit rusty at this so I thought I'd reach out for some input. Use to be an avid homebrewer (4-5 brews a year) until about a year and a half ago when my wife & I moved to FL and I quickly realized there was no dark, cool basement to store my fermentation bucket in!
We finally have our own place, and my project this month is to build myself a fermentation chamber so now I'm also working up my first homebrew recipe since Feb of 2015.
I'm looking at doing an Amber Ale, and wanted some input on how it sounds to other home brewers. Thanks for any advice in advance!
American Amber Ale
All grain - 5 gallon batch
ABV: 5.62% IBU: 33.7 Color: 12.0 SRM
OG: 1.055 FG: 1.012
8 lbs 2-row Pale Malt
1.5 lbs Munich Malt
.5 lbs Crystal 120L
.5 lbs Crystal 60L
.5 oz Galena - First Wort Addition
1 oz Willamette - 15 mins
1 oz Cascade - 2 mins
White Labs California Ale liquid yeast w/ starter
Ferment at 65 degrees for 2 weeks, then bottle.
I feel like this will turn out to be quite the tasty beer, not too hoppy, not too malty.
Any critiques are appreciated!
Cheers,
