Good Friday Pale Ale
This is a brew I made on a Good Friday several years ago. I remember this one distinctly because of an episode that happen between my daughter and our neighbour's dog. It seems the dog wanted Julia to play with him in his own yard, so he dragged her by the hood across the road to his property. This gave us all a big fright but no harm was done.
(Recipe for 20 litres)
1 Best Cellar Pale Ale beer kit.
450 ml of malt extract syrup.
2 cups of corn sugar.
2 teaspoons of Gypsum.
1/2 oz. of Goldings hops (bittering).
1/2 oz. of Cascade hops (finishing).
Method: Boiled all ingredients except finishing hops for 45 minutes with 6 liters of water. Put the finishing hops in for the last 3 minutes. Spg. 1.039
My Notes: The gravity is too low for a pale ale, the next time I will add more malt extract. Not enough hop bouquet. The next time I may try dry hopping.
