My American Pale

My American Pale
OG: 1.060
FG: 1.010
ABV: 6.9%


Using this trick will help with preventing boilovers, something I wish I knew before this batch

25 minute 1 lb 2-Row, 1 lb Crystal 40°L at 155°F

10 minute off burner steep

5 minute 6 lb Golden Light DME dry malt addition

10 minutes on burner led to minor boil-over

10 minutes later rolling boil reached, 1 oz. Simcoe, 1 oz. Citra hops added

30 minutes into boil 1 oz. Simcoe hops added

55 minutes into boil 1 oz. Citra hops added

60 minutes into boil dropped into ice bath

45 minutes to cool, original gravity 1.060 at 80°F, dry pitched Safale US-05 yeast

7 days primary fermentation, transferred to secondary

7 days secondary fermentation, final gravity 1.010 at 69° ABV 6.9%, bottled using 2/3 cup boiled brown sugar


Opened first bottle after 16 days and absolutely loved it.  Everyone who tried it enjoyed it thoroughly as well, will have to retry this some time soon.
