Hey Gang,
Just bottled my "Jonny Topper's" summerale today. First 5.gal. batch since 1996.Been using Mr. Beer 2 gal. fermenters to build up my pipeline with different styles.I have almost 9 cases of different styes of brews from pale ales to Wee Heavy's in various states of conditioning. Todays' bottling will end my production until probably the end of Sept. when I will break out the
fermenters again for some autumn/winter brews.The summeale recipe had:
6.6 lbs Munton's wheat Lme
1 1/2 oz Willamette hops @ boil(30mins),15mins,7 mins.
Added 1oz. McCormick Lemon xtract @ flameout.
used: 1 1/2 pkgs Fermentus wb-06 wheat yeast
I needed a light summerish tpye "Lawn-Mower" ale and I hope this
works out.At bottling it had a profound lemon taste with a lite hop
end.Hopefully it will mellow out until I try the 1st bottle on May 28th.
Wish me luck! Thanx
