I brewed 2 batches (Amber Ale and Canadian Lager) 5-6 years ago with very limited success. Since then, I have read books, message boards and watched instructional videos about home brewing. Now, I am ready to try again.
My goal is to brew a mildly bitter, clean Pale Ale with woodsy, florally aroma. In order to simplify the process I will not rack to a secondary fermenter.
Here is my recipe:
1 lb. English (Muntons) Crystal 60L
6 lbs. Coopers Light LME
1 oz. Magnum pellets (60 Min.)
1 oz. Kent Golding pellets (15 Min.)
1 oz. Fuggle pellets (10 Min.)
1 oz. Williamette pellets (5 Min.)
White Labs 001 California Ale yeast
Since there are a limited number of ingredient combinations, I imagine this recipe has already been brewed, but for the sake of adventure, I didn't want to simply copy a recipe I found on the internet, or out of a book. So, based on my research, I can up with this.
Please take a look and let me know if you see any obvious flaws or problems. I don't want to brew another so-so batch of beer and walk away from the hobby for another 5-6 years.
Thanks for your input.
