I brewed an American Amber Ale last week and have been too busy with my day job to blog about it till today. I transfered to secondary today and my gravity has dropped from 1.052 to 1.022, I plan to finish slightly below 1.010.
My grain bill
- 18.5 lbs Maris Otter (Crisp)
- 2 lbs Munich Malt - 10l
- 2 lbs Victory Malt
- 1.5 lbs Crystal Malt 40l
- 1 lbs Special Roast
I was going for a more toasty flavor as opposed to a caramel hence the victory and special roast.
Mash
I did a single infusion mash, I was aiming for 154, but over stirred and mashed at 152.
