Who is in the 3-5% ABV Club???

[Steadfast707]

I did a British mild 11-06 pulled the first pint on 11-14 and it was absolutely perfect

I have brewed it four time now and this recipe for me will me my house mild

I do a cream ale that is 4.0 % that I try to keep on tap all the time

but I too still brew big beers as I like them also

but the lower ABV is nice as stated to have a beer with lunch and still go back to the task at hand

all the best

Any chance that you would share those two recipes?

Right there with ya! I love a big RIS or DIPA but I'm good for 1-2 of those beers. I love those APAs that are around 5-6% but have the hop character of an IPA. Those are my jam!

I can honestly say I never even consider abv when brewing. I brew whatever I have a taste for. They mostly end up in the 4-6% range. In the last 3 weeks I've brewed a stout, a special bitters and a blonde. I guess I prefer lighter beers and didn't realize it!

If you get a chance and want to share I wouldn't mind trying these as well.

I just cracked the first bottle of a Mosaic Pale Ale that comes in slightly under 5%.......... It's a wonderfully refreshing single hop beer with a delicate and complex flavor. In a 2.5 gallon brew, I used 4 pounds of 2 row, and half a pound of Munich 20, and an ounce of Mosaic split between 15 minutes and 1 minute.... essentially a whirlpool hop. It's light, crisp, and refreshing. I've frequently used mosaic in very low gravity beers. This has an IBU of around 30......a "lawnmower beer".

The Mosaic Rye Wit (2.25% abv) was my first Mosaic beer, and one of the few I've ever made from a recipe, and probably the cheapest beer I've ever made with 1.5 pounds of wheat and a half pound of rye in a 2.5 gallon brew........ You could drink it all day long and drown before you got a buzz.
