1# Carmel

6.6 light LME

2 oz cascade (60 min)

1 oz citra (10min)

Safale 05 ale yeast


Have to say the immersion chiller cooled down the wort on 10 min or less.


I used citra at 10 instead of at flame out to add bitterness instead of flavor and aroma. But I can always dry hop.
My though was a low abv with hoppyness but not full blown IPA hoppyness.

The SG was 1.052. So shottin for 5% abv

This sounds good. How are you planning to maintain a lower rather than higher ambient temperature to ferment in at this time given the warm weather?

My basement is about 70F
I point fan at the bucket and it keeps it cool for the next few days.

Honestly I had no intention of brewing until fall, but realized I had a block party Labor Day weekend
This will give me the 3 bucket weeks and 2 bottle to be drinking for Labor Day .

Fall time is going to be stout
 
45 bottles!
Tastes like a pretty good pale ale.
Hoppy but not over powering!
Can't wait for it to carb
