| 3 lb. 3 oz. Light malt extract 1 lb. 8 oz. Light dry malt extract 3 lb. Amber dry malt extract |
||||||||
| 1 tsp. Irish Moss added with 45 minutes left in the boil. | ||||||||

|||||||
| Yeast: | Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale Yeast. Would recommend a pint starter minimum for this high O.G. wort. | |||||||
| Log: | Brewed on May 31, 2008. Fermented at about 70°F for two weeks. Racked to a secondary on June 14. Bottled on June 21 with a yield of 50 bottles. Saved the remaining yeast for another beer brewed the next week. Primary fermentation started slowly (48 hours) due to the yeast being pitched without a starter being made. Once it got going the yeast was impressive. | |||||||
| Carbonation: | Used 3/4 cup corn sugar at bottling to carbonate the beer. | |||||||
| Tasting: | July 4 tasting - Yep it hit the zone. Nice strong hoppiness. Very good caramel flavor. Nice clarity, a great Amber treat! | |||||||
