In January, I brewed a Northern German Altbier with the following recipe:
- 6 lbs. German Pilsner Malt
- 2 lbs. Munich Malt
- 8 oz. Aromatic Malt
- 8 oz. Crystal 60L
- 8 oz. White Wheat Malt
- 2 oz. Carafa III
- 1.50 oz. Tradition hops @ 60 min.
- 1 package Kolsch yeast (Wyeast 2565)
This was a very light and easy drinking beer. It is very well balanced and very smooth.
In my last blog post I mentioned brewing a Centennial IPA but I decided to brew a Citra hopped based Pale Ale first. I've worked out the recipe and brewed this earlier in the month.
- 10 lbs. Rahr 2-row
- 8 oz. Crystal 60L
- 8 oz. Crystal 20L
- 8 oz. White Wheat Malt
- 0.50 oz Citra hops @ 60 min.
- 0.50 oz Cascade hops @ 15 min.
- 0.50 oz Citra hops @ 15 min.
- 0.50 oz Cascade hops @ flameout
- 0.50 oz Citra hops @ flameout
- 1 oz Cascade - Dry Hop
- 0.5oz Citra - Dry Hop
- 1 package Safale US-05 yeast
I'm also planning on brewing my Centennial IPA this Saturday and reusing the yeast cake from the Citra Pale Ale. Update for this to come later.
