Batch 3 has been bottled! And let me just be "real" with you for a minute: bottling SUCKS; I can't wait to get that kegerator up and running. Anyway, I'm really excited about this batch; I think I hit the mark this time.
I'm trying to craft a brown ale that is comparable to my fiance's favorite beer, Leinenkuegal's Amber (I know I can do better than MillerCoors!), she likes smooth and sweet brown ales so that's what I'm going for. There may be some tweaking with this recipe down the road to get it just right for my brown eyed girl.
Original Gravity: 1.055 -- 7.3
Final SG: 1.01 -- 1.3
ABV = 6%
I'll be back with updates!
Update (2/17):
This beer turned out really well! One thing I learned is the difference between a brown ale and an amber. This beer is somewhat dry but has a toffee/butterschotch flavor with some roasty aromas and more hop strength than a traditional amber ale (which tend to be a bit smoother/sweater/maltier with more of a caramel flavor).
It's always a good day when you learn something new about beer!
