Dirty Honey Blonde Ale

Blonde Ale • All Grain • 5.5 gal

Steelhead

This is my first all Grain. single infusion mash @ 151. Batch sparged just took a gravity reading after 1 week tastes great. Malty but balanced with hop bitterness coming through. Give it a try. Shoot me an email with your thoughts if you try it.
