I made my first non-kit beer about 5 weeks ago and bought my ingredients from a guy who had a bunch of stuff in his basement. I'm really happy with the beer but it is not very close to the style I was attempting to make. The recipe was,
6.6lbs Amber LME
1.5lbs crystal malt
1oz cascade (60min)
1oz cascade (15min)
1oz goldings (flame out)
OG 1038
FG 1015
I was trying to make a hoppy American Amber Ale. Instead it is very dark brown (opaque) and tastes like a mild English Porter. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I'm starting to wonder if he sold me something other than crystal malt.
