[samale]

Brew an American amber, balls up from start to finish

I haven't brewed since November, just waiting on My order to get started again. First up I am looking to brew a dark lager, something similar to julebock from Lervig. It's brewed as a Christmas dark lager, flavour mainly from base and Carmel malts with a hoppy finish. No roast or chocolate flavour from my memory, maybe a bit of black malt for colour at the end.

 

[samale]

I have some harlequin and olicana hops to use up. So thinking about a English pale ale

That sounds good, 30 min boil or just 30 min hop additions?

30 min boil. I have had a bit of a nightmare, OG is only 1.034, not sure where I went wrong. I am thinking I measured my grain wrong and was short 1kg of Marris otter. I wanted this to be a low abv beer but not that low.

Looking forward to trying it, I have used the french Saison yeast a lot in the past. So fancied something new
