House-Honey Blonde
Blonde Ale • All Grain • 5.5 gal
This is my first attempt at the style. Overall I'm going for a balanced easy drinker with a hint of honey. I'll be brewing this tomorrow. I'll post updates on how it goes. I know the color is a little dark for the style so any feedback or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Ingredients (All Grain, 5.5 gal)

Northwest Pale Ale Malt; Great Western
Northwest Pale Ale Malt; Great Western
A slightly darker base malt than our Premium 2-Row, our Northwest Pale Ale Malt is produced from well-modified, Western-grown 2-Row barley, with a kilning regimen based closely on traditional British Pale Ale malting practices. Contributes a malty complexity to beer flavor and aroma. Excellent in American Pale Ales and American versions of British beer styles.
- 2 lbs
German Light Munich

Imparts sweet and dry taste. For honey and brown ales. Also: specialty ales.

- 2 tsp
Irish Moss - 15 Min (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05
Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05
The most famous ale yeast strain found across America, now available as a ready-to-pitch dry yeast. Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate. Sedimentation: low to medium. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C± 3C(80F ±6F). Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C(68F). Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.

Brewed on 8/14

OG was a little high at 1.05, I think we ended up getting a little better efficiency on the mash. Going to ferment at 63 degrees for 7 days. Will post again with feedback.

The first atemp was accidently frozen so we ended up tossing that batch. At the time we didnt know it could havd been salvaged and had no way to carbonate. Lessons learned I guess. I am brewing this again this weekend so I will let you all know how it turns out. From the first attempt the beer was extremely clear so I have high hopes this time around.
