I have very limited access to brewing ingredients where I am, and I made up the following recipe from the stuff that I have at hand. It will be the second beer that I make, the first was an all pale hopped with saaz that turned out pretty delicious, but now I would like to make an ale with a bit more colour and flavour.
Thanks to a friend who sent me stuff I now do have several kinds of hops but all in small quantities, so I was wondering what the experts think of this combination??
grains
6 lb Briess Amber DME
0.5 lb Crystal 100L (steep)
hops (all pellets):
0.5 oz pride of ringwood 60 min
0.5 saaz 30 min
0.5 tettnanger 30 min
1.0 cascade 5 min
0.5 saaz 5 min
These are all the ingredients I have at the moment until my next shipment comes in, although I do have some extra saaz and an extra lb of crystal malt.
yeast: safale s-04, safale us-05 and nottingham dry yeast. I wonder which will be the best to use?
It doesn't fit any style as far as I can see, but it to me it sounds like it will be a nice amber beer??
Any advice is welcome!
