Amber
So 3 weeks ago, I went after an Amber Ale, and really had a great day till the mash out, when my kettle got upto 180 deg. F. for a couple minutes. Luckly I keep a good amount of ice on hand for just that sort of thing, so I really can't tell if it's effected by the temp jump. O ya, I also had a clog during the sparge and had to float the grain bed for a bit and let reset for 10 minutes. Even though I had these things go wrong I really enjoy this beer. It has a great balance of malt and hops, with a nice mouth feel, thats not to heavy and a great dark amber color. The OG was a good 1.053 and ended at a 1.011. Again I used two different yeast strands in this batch to see which I liked better, and i'm for sure going to use the White Labs Dry English Ale from now on. Compared to their Burton Ale the English Ale is much clearer, but does have a slight chill haze.
Until my next pint. Good night and Good Luck.
