Notes: I used carbonation drops, causing the beer to be slightly over-carbonated. I would stick with either priming sugar in the bottling bucket or kegging to control this better.

Notes: Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: 1056 (or many other ale yeast)
Yeast Starter: yes
Batch Size (Gallons): 6.5
Original Gravity: 1.045
Final Gravity: 1.011
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
IBU: 20
Color: 3.8 SRM
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 12 days, free rise from 65-70
Tasting Notes: Just a really nice, basic, easy drinking blonde ale. Great on a hot day or when you want something simple. Also, an automatic favorite for the BMC drinkers.
This beer serves two purposes for me.
1.) It is just a great beer to have on tap. Easy drinking, low ABV., and a crowd favorite.
2.) I use this beer to "make yeast." I generally run yeast through many beers, and I use this beer as a low hopped, low gravity way to generate a lot of yeast for other beers. There are no dry hops, low kettle hop, I let the trub settle out in kettle as much as possible - and as a result I end up with nice, clean yeast a the end of fermentation. After racking it to keg, I leave a quart or more of beer behind and swirl the yeast up into suspension and pour it off into sanitized pint mason jars. I can generally get 4-6 pint jars of slurry. Store them in the fridge and then pull them out and make a starter when I need one. I usually make another blonde ale with the 6th jar, and collect another 6 jars of yeast. I can routinely brew 15-20 beers pretty easily off of one pack of yeast.

Grain Bill:
I will include % of grain bill and amounts I use for 6.5 gallons.

Shoot for approximately 1.040-1.045 OG
Looking for 3.9-4.2% ABV or so

45% Rahr 2 Row (4.5 lbs)
45% Golden Promise (4.5 lbs)
4% Wheat (.5lbs)
4% Flaked Barley (.5lbs)
2% Honey Malt or Cara 20 (.25 lbs)

Mash @ 155 for 60 minutes.

** You could probably simplify this grain bill to all 2 row or all Golden Promise for the base (or pilsner).

Hops:
1 ounce of Liberty @ 30 minutes
1 ounce of Liberty @ Flameout

Water:
Use 100% RO Water for mash and sparge.
Shoot for around 50/50/50 on Calcium/Chloride/Sulfate

I add .3 grams/gallon gypsum and .3 grams/gallon CaCl to mash and sparge water.
I add .5 ml of Lactic Acid per gallon of mash water
I add .1 ml of Lactic Acid per gallon of sparge water

B'run Water Numbers for me:
Ca: 48
Mg:0
Na:8
Sulfate:45
Chloride:55
Bicarbonate:16
pH:5.30

Water - the simple version:
*Use 100% RO water
*Per 5 gallons of mash water and per 5 gallons of sparge water.
*Use a 1/4 tsp. for measuring.
*Add a heaping 1/4 tsp of both gypsum and CaCl to both mash and sparge.... This is approximately 1.5 grams of both gypsum and CaCl to both mash and sparge.
*Add lactic acid as listed above (or, add 2-3 ounces acidulated malt to grain bill.)
*That will basically get you right in the ball park

Yeast/Fermenation:
I use a lot of different yeasts with this beer - basically any yeast I want to build up to use in multiple beers. However, for the beer itself - I think 1056 works best.

That said, other yeasts I have use in this on a regular basis are: Conan, 1968 and 1318.

I generally start it around 65 and let it free rise to 68-72.

I usually keg it around day 12 or so.

Other Notes:

I started brewing this purely to make yeast - but, it is probably the second most "popular" beer I brew among my basement regulars. Anyone will like this beer from strict BMC drinkers to more seasoned craft beer drinkers.
