Beer:	No Name Pale Ale		Style:	English Pale Ale
Type:	Extract w/grain		Size:	5 gallons
Color:	17 HCU (~10 SRM)		Bitterness:	49 IBU
OG:	1.056		FG:	1.012
Alcohol:	5.6% v/v (4.4% w/w)
Water:	I use Crystal Springs mountain spring water. My tap water has chloramines.
Grain:	8 oz. American crystal 20L 1 oz. Roasted barley
Steep:	I steeped the grain at 155° for 35 minutes in a grain bag.
Boil:	minutes	SG 1.093	3. gallons
	6 lb. Light dry malt extract
Hops:	1 oz. Fuggles (5.1% AA, 60 min.) .6 oz. Perle (5.6% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Kent Goldings (5.6% AA, 45 min.) 1 oz. Fuggles (5.1% AA, 30 min.) .5 oz. Kent Goldings (5.6% AA, 15 min.) .5 oz. Kent Goldings (aroma)
Yeast:	I brewed on short notice, so I used Munton's Gold dry yeast. I pitched 2 packs. It kicks butt.
Log:	I have a problem keeping my fermentation temp below 75 degrees. This time I used a wet towel and put my fermenter in a pan of water. It kept it at 70 degrees. It spent 4 days in the primary and 6 days in the secondary. I guessed at the FG because I broke my hydrometer, again. It was 1.014 when I racked to the secondary.
Carbonation:	I used 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle conditioned.
Tasting:	I used the Perles just because they were in the freezer. I needed to use them up. It was a little more bitter than style, but I like it that way.
