Amber Ale Recipe

[Dave258]

Does anyone have a good amber ale recipe? I looked through the recipe database, but didn't see much.
Or a fat tire clone? I found 3 different recipes, but would like to hear from someone who has tried them.
I brew all grain, but can convert with beersmith.
Thanks!

Have you brewed this? How did it come out? The flaked corn is throwing me off, unless I have not looked at enough amber recipes.
WHat yeast did you use? S-04?

I like my Amber, it is a bit hopped up too

I highly recommend Denny Conn's Waldo Lake Amber.. I brought three kegs to a family reunion and this went the fastest and I got the most compliments on it.

Excellent. It is my Haus Amber.

Sorry, I use US-05 yeast.

Well then this is the one I will try first!

You've already got several good suggestions, but if you're still looking, I really like my amber ale: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/caramel-amber-ale-167880/ . It's a pretty standard american amber with a twist - the candi syrup. I find it adds another layer of caramel flavors and makes for a nice beer.

You could try my fat tire clone, it is yummy.

Kegged a 10 gallon batch of my Amber last night. Tasted from the sample jar, even uncarbed and green as hell it was already tasty.

Thanks for all the recipes guys! I decided to try King Brian's first because of how he described the caramel flavor. Exactly what I was looking for. I just placed the order with Brewmasters Warehouse.
Kirk, I will try yours next!
Permo, thanks for the fat tire clone recipe!
