Hey guys, First post here I've been lurking and reading for a few weeks but couldn't find a situation like mine so hopefully someone can help this newbie out
I have my fermenter and utensils soaking in sanitizer right now as I type this... I do unfortunetly have a Mr. Beer fermenter but I have ingedients from a brew shop, no Mr beer ingredients.....So that's not as bad, Right? haha ;-)Anyways, on to my question...
I bought this kit/ingredients off someone online, The guy was very helpful in answering questions and everything but I don't want to barrage him with questions... The ingredients I have is to make a Pale Ale... I'm not a fan of very hoppy beers so I'm wondering if you guys can help me tweak my recipie?
Here's what I have (all is weighed out to make a 2gallon batch according to the previous owner..
*Crosby & Baker Muntons light dried malt extract (color: 8 ebc louind 3.5)
*Crosby & Baker Willamette hop pellets (it's a 1oz pack but has about half in it)
*Fermenti's dry ale yeast safele US-05
Does this sound like a good Pale Ale recipe? anything I can do to make it a less hoppy beer? (I drink all kinds of beers, Untill recently I was a Big 3 beer drinker but my brother in-law has opened me up to different/better beers!) I've been drinking Newport storm brews (our local brewery) and been trying new kinds every week..... Any tips on a good one that may taste "similar" to the recipie I have here so I can get an idea of what it's like?
Thanks and looking forward to replys and comments!
I have my batch ready to brew so help me out fellas
