2012 August 25 - #12 – Bruce’s Amber Ale

-150F steeping 1lb Caramunich for 30 minutes
-3lbs of Amber liquid Malt
-60 min boil
-1/4oz Tettnanger 45min
-1/8oz Tettnanger 15 min
-1 ½ TSP irish moss 15 min
-Muntons Ale Yeast 6g fermenting at 80F – very vigorous.
OG= 1.040
9/2/2012 – gravity = 1.009. Smells balanced. Malty side. Tastes like a good summer ale. The bitter is perfect. English yeast worked fast.
9/3/2012 – FG = 1.009. bottled today. Dry side.no clouds.light body. 4% ABV
9/16/2012 - Pretty good at 2 days fridged. I need another week in the fridge. Light hops. Sweet and balanced. Love it when I can taste the grain.

9/17/2012 – I think the carbonation is too light. I reintroduced fresh yeast back at room temperature.

9/23/2012 – Re-carbonation was a success! Much better now.
