Wanting to brew a hoppy amber ale, something that has a strong caramel backbone but finishes with some fresh "hoppiness".
I entered a competition that I must use 7 lbs of a pale malt, and 7 ounces of Cascade, that is non-negotiable. Let me know your thoughts.
Pale Malt - 7 lbs
Caramel 60 - 1 lb, 4 oz.
Victory Malt - 1 lb, 4 oz.
Carared - 12 oz.
Aromatic Malt - 8 oz.
Cascade - 60 mins (1 oz)
Cascade - 30 mins (1 oz)
Cascade - 5 mins (1 oz)
Cascade - Flameout (2 oz)
Cascade - Dry Hop (2 oz)
London Ale III Yeast
Mash Temp: 152 (looking for full-body)
37 IBUs
14 SRM
ABV 5.6%
Going to use Bru N' Water to get a balanced profile with water.
Thoughts on this? I've done quite a few beers, but never an Amber Ale.
