Pale Ale

An update on Beer as Art to follow shortly!

Tonight we are brewing a batch for Erin's mom's intern's graduation party! (lucky girl)

Recipe (5 gallons):
.5 lbs honey malt grain
.5 lbs maris otter
.25 lbs crystal 60L
6 lbs light malt (liquid)
3 lbs amber malt (dry)
1.5 oz Amarillo hops (60 min boil)
.5 oz Amarilla hops (15 min finishing boil)
Wyeast northwest ale 1332
Irish moss


Initial brix is 17.5, which gives us a specific gravity of 1.072, Higher than a typical pale, but shoot, this girl is about to graduate! She's gonna want to have a good time ;) And we'll make sure she does!
