What do you mean by Belgian malt?

That might be a bit higher in bitterness than what you're going for...

That was supposed to be Belgian Biscuit malt. Thank you for the catch.

I've never brewed it, but it looks spot on for a great blonde ale. In fact, I think I'll give it a go.

Great, thanks for the feedback. I've never done a blonde before and I got this off another website where it was posted years ago and had no feedback so I really appreciate the comment.

Ah, I sympathise....

I was after something for a group of occasional craft beer drinkers (mostly lager drinkers, but will sometimes have a pale ale or two), and I think this will hit the mark.

it is not that big of an issue. I do reds now, blondes just think they are to good looking for me, I prefer no headcases.

I love blonds ales, and that looks different, you need to post back as I would like to see how little haze it ends up with.

thanks for posting the recipe.

I like the blonde recipe - simple and straightforward.
Speaking of reds, that was the next experiment after my blonde. Being interested in mixed styles, I calculated up a red wheat ale with the gravity and color of an Irish red, but the yeast and hopping of a mild American pale ale.
Wouldn't you know, there's a style for exactly that - an American amber.

It's always fun when we catch ourselves reinventing the wheel.

Looks fine to me, half a pound of biscuit is about right.
