1 oz Warrior hops (60 minutes)
1 oz Warrior hops (30 minutes)
* .5 oz Fuggles and 1 oz Willamette (dry hop in primary after fermentation bubbles die down for a cleaner transfer to secondary)
9 lbs Canadian Pale Ale
1 lbs Honey Malt (to give golden color & warmth)
1 lbs Aromatic (hint of malty subtle malty smell)
1 lbs British Munich Malt (adds a little body)
* White Labs Edingburg yeast
OG: 1.082 taken May 22, 2011 (suspect this to be inaccurate and high due to taking reading 1/2 way through the beer during transfer to primary. There was a lot of matter in the beer when I took the reading. I forgot to take the reading from skimming the top and cleanest part of the beer/wort. I am not sure what a real would be, but if it is well above 1.070 that's good). Taste: It has an almost spicy after bite due to the bitterness of the hops.
May 22, 2011: Brewed.
May 30, 2011: added 1 oz Willamette and 1/2 oz Cascade hops to dry hop.
* Notes leftover from previous batch. Yeast was used once a few months ago for a Wee Strong and is still in the primary. Reusing helps me keep the budget tighter.
Keep your fingers crossed. I accidently pushed the airlock rubber through the carboy and into the beer because it kept popping out even tough I dried everything. Luckily, I had just soaked it in bleach so hopefully it is NOT infected. That would suck bad!
Follow-up August 4, 2010:
Gravity: 1.017. Great warm color. Big bite with hops, but not overwhelming. Has a sweet after bite and sweet suggestion through the aroma.
