"This is grain, which any fool can eat, but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption. Let us give praise to our maker and glory to his bounty by learning about... BEER." - Friar Tuck in Prince of Theives

First Brew of 2012

Well, this year for me has been disappointing but I have finally brewed some beer. My old man and I had a brew date the other day. We both were brewing Pale Ales. I went for a British Pale Ale, and the old man went for  more American approach. Why, I have no clue because the Brits brew a much better pale ale.

9lbs Light Liquid Malt Extract
8oz Carasan/Carastan 30/37
4oz English Crystal 70-80L
4oz Special Roast
2.0oz Fuggles @60min (6.0 Alpha Acids)
.5oz Goldings @15min (5.7 Alpha Acids)
.5oz Goldings @10min
.5oz Goldings @5min
.5oz Goldings @1min

At 10 minutes I added a Whirfloc tablet.
