Specialty Beer • Extract • 5 gal
This was my first attempt at home brewing. Wanted to go with a low bitterness recipe in the hopes my wife would like it too as she doesn't care for the really bitter ones. It turned out quite well despite the expected first time adventures. I think I'd use pale malt extract next time to bring out more of the red color from the toasted grain though.

Wyeast 3766 Cider
Wyeast 3766 Cider
Crisp dry fermenting yeast with big, fruity finish. Creates a nice balance for all types of apples, pears and other fruit or fermentables. Allows fruit character to dominate the profile.
Notes
The 2-row should be roasted at 350F for 10-15 minutes before steeping. This adds a good bit of the red color, though with the amber malt it was hard to see.
