IPA (not sure if I will call it that quite yet, but)
This is the first time I have brewed with pale malt grains. this is the first time they were available at my local homebrew store. They didn't seem to add any color whatsoever to the brew kettle, but smelled great. well here is the recipe:
2 lbs pale ale grains
6.6 lbs amber liquid extract
1 lb extra light malt dry extract
2 ounces Liberty
2 ounces Cascade
2 ounces Amerillo
.25 oz Irish moss
Steps:
Bring 5.5 gallons to 155 F
steep grains for one hour
Add 6.6 lbs of amber malt liquid extract (two cans)
Add 1 ounce Cascade hops
Bring wort to rolling boil
Start 60 minute timer
50 min. - Add 1 ounce Liberty
40 min. - Add 1 ounce Amerillo
30 min - Add 1 ounce Cascade
20 min - Add 1 ounce Liberty - Also add 1 lb extra light dry malt extract.
10 min - Add 1 ounce Amerillo
OG = 1.062
FG = 1.018
ABV= 6.5%
This brew is now sitting pretty in primary still bubbling away. Will probably rack to secondary this weekend if fermentation is finished.
I hope it turns out well. I will update to let you know..
(update)
Kegged a couple of days ago. Had a glass last night, and it was awesome!
Cascades really over power but still tasty.
