This is the second recipe Sam Addams more of an APA. Very well balanced and a taste that hangs in your mouth for awhile.

 

[shadows69]

Brewed on Sunday with new recipe. Will see how this turns out then I will post.

 

[johnkroll88]

Is there an extract conversion for this. I love summer ale but I am fairly new to brewing. I might consider doing this as BIAB but it would be the first time doing it.

Well how does it compare?

 

[Neptune]

So is it 10 grams or 1 gram of paradise seed?

 

[shadows69]

1 gram as far as comparison, mine does not have as much lemon citrus. Maybe, due to the fact of using fresh lemon peels instead of dried peels. I notice they use saaz hops on the website. I may have to make a trail running of that. Still all and all a very good clone just needs more tweaking.
