So I did the All Amarillo Ale 2 ways- two 2.5 Gallon batches.
One I did the straight recipe from here, the other I adjusted the crystal a little and added a little roasted barley to it to hopefully make it red (its a nice amber color, but not really what I would call red). My O.G. was high on both (1.069) and I think it was due to my rate of boil (since with larger batches I top off the fermenter with water). Last night I took my gravity readings and its down to 1.012. So I am at about 7.3% abv roughly.
I left them in the primaries for 3 weeks (at the start of week 3 I added 1 oz of Amarillo to each) and transferred to secondary last night with 1 more oz to each for another week. They smell fantastic!
I will be bottling next weekend....
