The title says it all. I just pitched my yeast and have sat down to enjoy a Sam Adams Boston Lager. I decided a couple weeks ago that it was time to brew again, but I didn't know what to try to brew. My last brew was an SNPA clone and it turned out awesome. This time I decided to go with a Sam Adams Boston Ale clone since I can't find it in any of the stores around where I live. Here's the recipe I used.
7.75 lbs Pale LME
1.00 lb crystal 10L steeped for about thirty minutes.
1.5 ounces of East Kent Goldings for 60 minutes
0.5 ounces of saaz for 15 minutes
0.5 ounces of saaz for 5 minutes
0.5 ounces of cascade for 5 minutes
Safale ale yeast
I know that the cascade is a little departure from the style, but I had them left over from the last brew and though, "What the hell...it can't hurt," so I threw them in. I tasted the wort after the boil and it was really good, which was quite different from the wort from my SNPA brew. Now its time for the yeasties to do their job. I'll keep everyone informed of how it turns out.
