I have to brew an American Amber Ale for an upcoming competition.
I've never brewed one before - not really my favourite style.
So far I'm thinking of something like this, maybe throw in a little biscuit. Possibly more hops, or another variety?
Ingredients
4.72 kg Pale Malt (5.0 EBC) 72.0 %
0.79 kg Cara Gold (120.0 EBC) 12.0 %
0.52 kg Munich Malt (25.0 EBC) 8.0 %
0.26 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine (3.9 EBC) 4.0 %
0.26 kg Caramunich I (Weyermann) (100.5 EBC) 4.0 %
10 g Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 6 14.9 IBUs
12 g Perle
30 g Centennial [10.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 7 11.6 IBUs
50 g Centennial [10.00 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 8 0.0 IBUs
1.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) [50.28 ml] Yeast 9 -
Est Original Gravity: 1.053 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.012 SG

Any thoughts?
