American Pale Ale • All Grain • 10 gal

Anthony(Oregon)

This beer is a beautifully "balanced" American Pale Ale that has a malt character that is very complex because of the three different grains used.The Hop character is also very intriguing because five different hops were used. In a nutshell....this Beer flat out kicks butt!!

Notes

Mash at 150 degrees for 90 minutes. Boil for 90 minutes. Make sure when you pitch your yeast that you agitate and aerate your carboys very well. Within the first 12 hours after you pitch your Yeast you should go by your carboys every few hours or so and give them a good swirl to introduce more oxygen.
