So firstly, I’m assuming we’re going with an ale? Or is someone stepping up to lager the brew? For my 2 cents I say we go with something “sessionable” but what still has character. Maybe a Brit mild or bitter. Or a good ole’ American pale ale.
I put a couple recipes through Tastybrew.com and got some good looking beers, but since I’ve not gone AG yet I have a few questions. Since we’re shooting for a 10g batch, what’s the boil volume going to be? (I put in for a 12g boil but hey, I’m known to be wrong. Really, REALLY wrong. Just ask my wife.)
American Amber
15 lb US 2-row
5lb Crystal 60L
1oz Magnum 60min
2oz Willamette 5min
2oz Willamette 1 min
Maybe an abbey yeast?
American Brown
18lb US 2-row
2lb Crystal 60L
1lb Honey malt
1lb Chocolate malt
2oz N. Brewer 60min
4oz Cascade 5min
2oz Cascade 1min
California Ale yeast?
Whaddaya think?
Not that my vote counts but the ‘Big Brew’ Chiswick Bitter is delicious.
