Joyful Amber
American Amber Ale • Extract • 5 gal
My first recipe, and a standard. I try to always keep this around. I like the hops to be present in the nose but not take you down when you take a swig. So I dry hop for only 4-5 days. Seems to be darn near perfect mix of biscuit malt and hop flavors. It's named after my wife who gave me my first homebrewing equipment for Christmas.
