Ishi pale ale too

This is a modification of my original Ishi pale ale, more of a tweak but with a couple of major changes in malt and water treatment

Brewer:	Rathole		Email:	am1nightcreature@yahoo.com
Beer:	Ishi pale ale too		Style:	English Pale Ale
Type:	Extract w/grain		Size:	5 gallons
Color:	14 HCU (~9 SRM)		Bitterness:	24 IBU
OG:	1.057		FG:	1.012
Alcohol:	5.8% v/v (4.5% w/w)
Water:	Local tap water, (soft) with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons burton water salts
Grain:	8 oz. American crystal 40L
Steep:	steep the grains for 30 min at 155°
Boil:	60 minutes	SG 1.057	5 gallons
	7 lb. Light malt extract 8 oz. Brown sugar
	The malt extract used was changed from the original recipie, it is british (or english)alexander's pale malt extract instead of the american malt extract 1 teaspoon irish moss in the last 15 minutes 1/2 cup (PACKED) brown sugar at beginning of boil OG actually measured as 1.050
Hops:	1 oz. Fuggles (5.4% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Kent Goldings (5.1% AA, 5 min.) 1 oz. Kent Goldings (5.1% AA, 2 min.)
Yeast:	danstar "windsor" dry yeast, rehydrated as per instructions, with a little wort added
Carbonation:	3/4 cup priming (corn) sugar
Tasting:	well, it's different. I think i would add more flavor and aroma hops, to balance the brown sugar which i think adds a body and flavour that is odd. next time, i'm gonna try: 1 oz of kent golding at 15, 10 and 5 minutes, with maybe a little willamette in the flavour somewhere. My brewshop tells me that the willamette/kent goldings combination used to be a classic finishing combination for english pale ales two weeks after bottling, the flavors are coming together into a very nice package. Not terrifically complex, but different from the pales I normally make and delicious and refreshing. No rocket surgery here, just good beer.
