Alcohol:	-
Water:	I use Citric Acid to adjust my pre-mash water to 6.0 ph.
Grain:	12 lb. American 2-row 5 lb. American Munich 1 lb. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils) .5 lb. American victory
Mash:	81% efficiency
	I mash this in with 24 quarts of 164 degree water to achieve 153-154 degress f.

	Add two tablets of whirlfock to help the beer clear.

Yeast:	I use Fermentis SafAle US-05 but Nottingham works well as well.
Log:	I keep this brew in the primary for two weeks. It normally ferments down 1.010 or 1.008 at 67 degrees F. I transfer to secondary after 14 days and leave it there for 21 days. Then either bottle or keg. If cask conditioning then leave at room temperature for 4 more weeks. It is well worth it.

Tasting:	This beer has a nice citrus flavor and a complementary malt profile. It is the beer that I make most often. If you are a fan of American style Pale Ales you'll love this one.
