Yellow Puppy Pale Ale
American Pale Ale • Extract • 5.0 gal
This was only my second batch but I think its pretty good. Bright and citrusy, smooth but with a strong hops presence. When my friend took the first taste she said "Don't change an thing on this." Sweet.

Characteristics & Applications: • The endosperm is completely glassy and will appear to be darker than standard Brewers Malt. • Carapils® is a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention, and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. • Use to upgrade all types of beer, including light colored beers. • The non-fermentables in Carapils® are very advantageous in balancing body and flavor of dark colored beers. • May be used with or without other specialty malts. • Low usage of 1-5% will help achieve desired results. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Notes
Steeped grains at 162 in 1 gallon. Put in 3.5 lbs of the extract and added 1.5 gallons. Boiled at 199. Put in the rest of the extract at 2 min. Clumped seriously. Put in earlier or very, very slowly. Missed OG by 2-3 pointsbut doesn't seem to have affected ABV. Held above 70 til fermentation began then moved to location between 64-66. Very vigorous ferment. Might consider a blow off tube next time. Finished at 1.010 or .009. Cold-crashed after 10 days. After 48 hours added 1 oz of Cascades to dry hop.
