Hello all - I'd like to post a recipe I've cobbled together for a blonde ale and would love some feedback on it. I first tried brewing beer to little success about a year ago and switched over to wine. But lately I've been craving a nice easy drinking ale. So I started doing a little research and came up with this. Let me know what you think!
5 gal batch, 60 min boil
3 lb brown rice syrup
1 lb turbinado sugar
2 lb sorghum syrup (added at flameout)
8 oz buckwheat honey (added at flameout)
.75 oz cascade hops (AA = 5.0%) at 60 mins
.5 oz saaz hops (AA = 4.9%) at 30 mins
.5 oz cascade hops at 15 mins
1 oz saaz hops at 0 mins
8 oz maltodextrin for body
US-05 yeast
I'm looking for a nice easy drinking ale - not too hoppy with some malt flavor. I haven't worked with the buckwheat honey before. Does this seem like a good amount for that?
Any advice you can give would be great!
Thanks,
-Jason
