British Amber Ale
Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) • Extract • 5.15 gal
This brew was developed using leftover grains/yeast. There's no real rhyme or reason to the grains selected, that's just what I had available. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Crystal Malt 10°L
Crystal Malt 10°L
Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales. Characteristics & Applications: • In contract to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Kegging today/tomorrow

I'll be kegging this beer either today or tomorrow. It's been cold-conditioning for a weak to smooth out any rough edges. I'll report back once it's carbed up!
