Can you Brew It recipe for Anderson Valley Boont Amber

[TJTHEBEST]

Ive just taken a couple pints from a keg i made of this. It tastes really good and pretty close to a real Boont. Im gonna buy a 6 pack and do a side by side to see if i can tell the real from the clone.

4.61kg U@ 2-row 80%
580g Crystal 40 10%
580g Crystal 80 10%

Above it says 4.61kg U@ 2-row 80%

Does the U@ mean anything or was that just "fat-fingered" when you typed this out?

Thanks a ton for doing all of this work. We will be brewing this in the next week or two.

I'm doing my second attempt at this recipe. First time around I didn't have my hop rocket nor could I get Horizon hops (subbed them out for more Magnum). This time, I'm doing the recipe to the T. Brewing it up this Sat. I'll report back in about 2 months when I'm drinking it.

Is 18.3 IBU realistic for this beer? The style guidelines state 25-40. 18 just seems ridiculously low.

Yes it's true and it's awesome. Boont Amber is in a category by itself

Very possible. They have other beers with very low IBUs, and I think this is where the malt focus is being so heavily emphasized. I had this beer followed by a Newcastle (not at all known for being bitter) and thought it was quite the hop bomb because Amber is so low IBU'd. Try Winter Solstace for even less hop character.

It's funny, I am repairing a piece of equipment for their canning line at the machine shop, and have had a can of Winter Solstice sitting on my bench for a week or more. It's taken I'll I've got to not chuck it in the freezer for a few

I had this a couple nights ago and I thought it was fantastic. I went to check the AVBC website and it seems the recipe underwent some changes, it's got lower IBUs (16) and an entirely different hop bill compared to the last one in this thread. They now list Columbus, Bravo, Northern Brewer and Mt. Hood.

How'd you hop this now? Does this seem reasonable?

Columbus @90
Bravo @ 60
Northern Brewer @ 20
Mt. Hood @ 0

Anyone?

I'd stick with the hops and schedule from the original post. It came straight out of the mouth of the man that brews it. They may have changed some of the hops they use but I don't taste much if any difference in the beer from the Boont ambers I've had in the past (and I've had a lot of them). Timely thread bump. I just drank a few Boont Ambers last night. Such a good beer.

Didn't see your post, Ryan. Had already ordered the hops from the updated hop bill, so we'll see how it goes.

Grains came today, I'm excited :rockin:

Brewed this and am pleased how it came out. Will post a picture and a side by side as soon as I get my hands on a bottle of Boont.

I"ll say this though: amber ales are underrated.
