Finally I get to brew again! Let’s go with the classics…

Ain’t been able to brew for over a month.  Got two batches ready to bottle, doing it tomorrow. 

I’m not screwing around with trying new stuff on these batches, I’m repeating two recipes I’ve already done (once, or multiple times) that came out great.

here’s the plan…

 

classic american creme ale:
  • 9 lbs 6-row
  • 3 lbs flaked corn
  • willamette / cascade / fuggles to whatever I friggin’ feel like

blonde ale:

  • 5 lbs pale malt 2-row
  • 3 lbs pilsner malt
  • 1 lb Vienna malt
  • 6 oz caraamber
  • 6 oz carafoam
  • 8 oz flaked corn
  • willamette / cascade / fuggles to whatever I friggin’ feel like

One of them is getting nottingham, the other is getting US-05. Both will have an overall low bitterness and a dash of late hops. That’s it. Simple, easy, done.
