Brew day just ended.
I have no doubt I made a wonderful beer, but I came in a bit hot for a pale ale.
I was planning on hitting 6.2%, but I was .7 gallons too short for my double batch (10 gallosn) which jacked my ABV up to 6.9%. Calculated out to be 71-72%ish efficiency, which is pretty consistent to what I usually get.
What's everyone's thoughts about drinking an Orange Peel Citra Pale ale @ 6.9% w/ 37 IBU? I'm sure it would be judged harshly for not meeting the ABV of a pale ale...but...
Dale's Pale Ale doesn't meet the 6.2% limit either either and it's a great Pale Ale.....nearly an IPA though because it has >60 IBU.
I'm very safely assuming that I'll knock in ATLEAST at 6.9% due to my experience with US-05. It's highly possible I will probably be at 7.1%.
