#31 - Brew my own beer

The post is a bit late, as a prep for my second batch, but here are the details....

Style: American Amber Ale
Date: 3-22-09

Malt: 3.3# plain amber extract, 2# plain amber dry extract, 8oz. crushed crystal malt
Hops: 2oz. Willamette

OG: 1.034
FG: 1.010
ABV: 3.2%

Fermented 7 days in the primary, 11 days in the secondary. Conditioned in the keg for 8 days @ 10psi. Initial taste test occurred on 4/16/09.


The overall response to the brew was solid. Had a good flavor without a lot of bite to it. The alcohol percentage was a bit lower than expected, but that was the only thing that came out different.

The keg finally kicked on 7/11/09, just under 3 months after it was first tasted.
