Well, I need to put to use some of the EKG I won in the Hopshare (thanks BobbyM!). Initially I was planning an EKG IPA, but I don't think I can get the gravity where I need to with only my 5g cooler (and I don't want to PM this), so until I upgrade to a 10g cooler, this EKG English Pale Ale will have to do. Started with Edwort's "Haus-Ale" as a base and basically switched the US 2-row to MO. Also, had to up the hops slightly to get the IBU and just b/c I wanted to use 3oz. as opposed to 2oz. !
I'm looking to have something like a cross between Ed's Haus-Ale and an ESB. So, although maybe Munich would be more in place in an ESB recipe or a darker crystal, etc. Although a different yeast may be more appropriate... I'm still trying to keep this light.
Let me know what you think. I may brew this at the South-Central PA brewday on 5/31/08 if I can make it. Thanks in advance for critique!
