Hello all,
I'm a long time lurker but had to post in order to get an answer on this one.
I just brewed a batch of Blonde Ale to try out a "Party Pig" kegging system given on Fathers Day. The recipe is "Jims Honey Blonde Ale" and is origanally a 5 gallon recipe. I however, brewed a 3 gallon version.
The 5 gallon recipe calls for 2 lbs of honey and in my haste forgot to reduce this amount for 3 gallons.
I also altered the recipe with Victory grain instead of the British Amber that is called for and I aslo used Victory dry yeast instead of WYeast 1056 . (I had all these ingrediants left over from previous brews) The grains were about 5% light for a three gallon batch as well, but it's what I had on hand and very closely matched this recipe.
Everything sems to be ok, it has produced a large Kräusen and is fermenting like a jet engine at 68*.
This is only my third brew, all of wich have been all grain, so I'm not sure what I'll end up with.
Any comments are welcome.
