American Amber Ale

Post #1 made 10 years ago
This is an American Amber from p137 Brewing Classic Styles that I'd like to try and would appreciate if anybody could have a quick check to see if there are any glaring mistakes.

Have also attached spreadsheet in Excel (.xls) and Open Office Calc (.ods) format.

Thanks in advance :drink:

Blu_Afro,

The recipe looks good.

I like the 60 minute Boil to keep the wort from getting Dark.

But, only a 60 minute MASH??? A 90-100 minutes is better, as it can add around 5-7 gravity points, and a higher ABV.

But, it does not show up in BIABACUS.

JMHO YMMV
