I'm getting married on Sep 24 and I'd like have 5gal of home brew on hand by then (and yes I bottle carb). I still need to order grain and put together my LMT so I'm really on the 11th hour already. I only have a few brews under my belt (all AG) so the chances I mess this up are high (but I'd rather fail then not try at all).
Any suggestions on a recipe would be quite helpful:
I'd like to make an amber or brown ale with mild hoppieness. I have some Sterling and Central hops from the garden I'd like to incorporate, but I will not have enough, so I'll have to buy some hops too.
I'd like to keep the ABV under 6.5, closer to 5.5 would be ideal.
A heavy mouth feel is quite important to me.
Also I'm thinking I'll try making my water starting with RO. I've been unhappy with my tap water in the past and would like more control, also I have no time to get a proper water test.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be great! Thanks
