Well I have dozens of recipes I have previously made lying around so I figured I might as well share the best ones with the world (with a few suggestions on improvements). You may notice some details missing in a few recipes but that's because I am working off of handwritten notes that are up to 18 months old and cannot remember what was precisely done there. If you are trying a recipe that I skipped something on and want some advise on how to move forward, feel free to e-mail me for suggestions.
First up is an Amber Ale that I made in the fall of 2012:
Autumn Amber Ale
OG: 1.054
FG: 1.017
ABV: 5.2%
35 minute steep 2 oz. Special B, 8oz. Caramel 80°L, 2 oz. Roasted malt at 152°F in 2 gallons of water
10 minute off burner steep
5 minute 6 lb addition Gold LME malt
80 minutes to rolling boil, 1 oz. Hallertau (bittering) hops added (I really need to get a gas burner to speed up the boil)
50 minutes after boil start, 1 oz. Fuggles (aroma) hops added
60 minutes into boil, removed from burner to ice bath
70 minute cool down to 78°F, original gravity 1.054, activated Wyeast #1056 dry-pitched
4 day primary fermentation, transferred to carboy
11 days transferred to bottling bucket, 1.017 final gravity at 64°F ABV of 5.2%, bottled using 5 oz. Brewer's Best priming sugar
Opened first bottle 20 days later. I was hoping for a little more hop, would add another 1/2 oz of Hallertau
