American Pale Ale

I made this last fall and unfortunately I over-carbonated it.  I used a little too much brown sugar for even a normal batch but this batch ended up being much less than a normal yield because leaf hops were used (this was the first such batch so all previous batches listed were using pellet).

American Pale Ale
OG: 1.075
FG: 1.018
ABV: 7.7%

30 minute 1.5 lb Caramel 40°L at 155°F

10 minute off burner steep

5 minute 6.6 lb Golden Light LME, 3 lb Briess GL DME addition

25 minutes to rolling boil, 2 oz. Cascade, 2 oz. Citra (bittering) hops added

50 minutes into boil, 1.5 oz. Amarillo (flavoring) hops added

58 minutes into boil, 1 oz. Cascade leaf (aroma) hops added

60 minutes into boil, removed from burner

15 minutes to cool, original gravity 1.075 at 79°F, dry pitch (forgot to write down what type of yeast)

12 day primary fermentation, 1 oz. Cascade leaf dry-hopped at end

12 day secondary fermentation, bottled using 1 cup boiled brown sugar

Had first beer 10 days later, was over-carbonated but other than that was delicious, not nearly as hoppy as I expected but had a really complex flavor that up until this point I had not yet achieved.
