Notes
1 hour boil. 60 minutes with Perle, 15 minutes Cascade, and 1 minute cascade. Chilled brew kettle in ice bath, pitched yeast at 73 degrees. OG much higher than expected, 1.080? Will primary and seconday. FG 1.035, for 5.895%. Light in color, great taste. Great brew. This beer has now aged in the bottle for three weeks or so. I'm really pleased with the outcome, Perle hops really contribute nicely and give that 'California' flavor I associate with Sierra. I will definitely come back to this recipe, it is one my favorites so far and is a fabulous summer brew.
