Ingredients (All Grain, 5 gal)

American 2-row
American 2-row
Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

Significantly increases foam/head retention and body of the beer.

Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

White Labs WLP001 California Ale
White Labs WLP001 California Ale
This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance and ability to be used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely versatile.
Notes
Mash at 152F for 1 hour. Ferment at 68F for one week, rack and dry hop with 1 oz Cascade for two weeks before kegging/bottling. BTW, the yeast is actually the White Labs American Ale Blend...I think it is WLP060.

Forgot to update when I brewed this. No problems, mashed at 154F for one hour, 75 minute boil, chilled to 65F and pitched yeast. Primary for six days, and it has been in secondary since. Took a hydro sample today, gravity was at roughly 1.015 (I didn't take temp readings either). Tastes very similar to SNPA - gotta love those Cascades! We will see how well it goes over at the club meeting in October.
