Notes: =================================
1/31/2024
brewed last night. issues :
* realized the homebrew store gave me 4oz whole hops instead of 2. used all four in the mash
* forgot to add mash hops at beginning of mash. added them at the end for sparge and lauter. total about 20 minutes contact time with that lauter
* warrior addition was supposed to go in for 30 min but i added at the beginning of the boil. i tried to shorten the overall boil to 45 minutes but it ended up being 60 minutes
* origianlly id had both a 20 min and 15 min additions of amarillo. since my boil was messed up and probably over bittered, i combined the two into a 5 min addition. they still had more contact time during chilling, maybe 20 minutes.
* those are all the mess ups i can remember at the moment...smh

gonna rebrew this.
Last batch was a good game day brew, which I did enjoy. But there was a metallic taste to it that I'm starting to blame on all those old BSG hops. At first I thought it might be the evergreen but I used some other variety in an IPA recently and it had a similar taste. Time to toss those.
Redoing this recipe to return the hop sched to cascade in the mash hop, warrior for a little bittering, and amarillo the rest of the way.
Not sure if I should modifying the water more like an IPA, but for now lets just use tap and re-assess later.
=================================
9/25/2023
originally this was supposed to be cascade, warrior and amarillo but did not have enough amarillo brewday so supplemented half of it with evergreen. im starting to feel that i dont particularly care for evergreen....we shall see..
gravity numbers came out about right i believe.
=================================
9/11/2023
revamping this for 2023 amber lamps / ale to the commanders.
adding biscuit malt and adjusting grain bill for about 5.8% abv. going with english ale yeast to go along with the biscuit idea. redo-ing the hops, choosing amarillo sort of randomly. hopping more firmly like a sierra nevada pale ale or almost like an ipa.
not sure on water, normally amber ale i would use tap but for more crisp hoppy profile i could make some adjustments....
(side note. despite how bitter and crisp it is, sierra nevada pale ale is only 38 IBU)
https://sierranevada.com/brews/pale-ale/
https://sierranevada.com/blog/our-beer/pale-ale-homebrew-recipe/#recipe-jump
=================================
11/15/2022
rebooting this again. going back to cascade and centennial combo. considering a more ipa water profile to boost bitterness? not sure....
adjusting volumes, efficiencies, etc. adding acid malt for ph.
i like continuing with the english yeast idea
could consider doing a small dry hop, 1-2 ounces. especially if no water profile it will be less sharp so might could use a little more hop boost.
=================================
11/2/2020.
ok well yet again this will not turn out like the original.....brewed this on 10/28. took pre boil gravity at 1.055 but forgot to take OG. based on that i am adjusting the recipe here to get to 1055 pre boil gravity and adjsuting the volumes. also on brew day i was missing cascade so i substituted with tahoma which im predicting to be kind of citrusey? maybe not fitting for amber ale but oh well.
note to self. might have discrepency with water profile versus whats coming from my tap. predicted 5.53 but measured 5.32.
before these changes, on brew day this recipe was sitting at :
pre boil size 7 gal
post boil size (not set)
batch size fermenter 5
efficiency 64%
pre boil SG 1.047
post boil OG 1.065
for a 6.6% abv
=================================
10/3/2020
resurrecting this old one. keep in mind i brewed it a 2nd time with adjustments (called his shoe broke) but i remember it being subpar. going back to this recipe. will try to do some work on the water profile (for malty? or hoppy?)
everything else looks fine actually. it maybe could use a little more hops but also for amber ale its probably fine like this. there were notes in the other recipe about mashing a little higher. maybe like 152 or 153? needs some research for confirmation. could maybe use rva manchester also since ill be using it for another brew.
=================================
initial recipe notes 12/7/18 : referenced bells amber ale recipe from brew your own december 2018. im reading the victory has higher diastatic power than munich so im going to use more of that. aiming for about 6% and 45 IBU using magnum cascade and centennial based on this amazing beer i had while in california last weekend called daylight by track 7 brewing in sacramento. |

Notes: 1600 ml. starter at 1.04
Ferment at 58 to 60 degrees with
Wyeast 2565,62 to 64 degrees with WLP 029
or 65 to 67 degrees with US-05
attenuation better than expected
finished at 1.011 about 5.3 ABV
carbonate 3 weeks at 68-70 degrees
cold condition 1 week in fridge
frothy head,nice lacing
tasty summer beer,easy drinking.
A great beer for the female in your life.
I`ve made this brew 7 times now,and it is a mainstay for my woman.I`ve used US-05
WLP 029 and WYEAST 2565 all with great
results.Used Williamette in place of
saaz and prefer it.Last batch came out
at 6.0 ABV with a modification to my fly sparge setup.Grain bill holds at 11 lbs.
Last batch was with WLP 029,I think Wyeast 2565 was the best of the 3 yeast types that I have used. (just me and swmbo`s thoughts).
Made batch #8 with US-05 on 4-19-13
used 4 Madagascar vanilla beans soaked
in vodka for a week and added to secondary
It added a bit more vanilla flavor.Nice addition for added flavor.Will make this
a regular step in future batches,recipe
has not changed but 2565 rules the brew.
I made batch #9 on 9-22-13.Used original recipe with wyeast 2565, by far the best.
Bottled on 11-1-2013.The only tweak was
adding 12 oz clover honey at flameout.The
Vanilla beans in secondary are the bomb.
Recipe will not change from here on out.
This batch started at 1.057 and finished at 1.01 - 5.51 ABV.It is exactly where I Want it. SWMBO and my friends love it.I like it alot too but I am more of a stout
porter guy.I hope you like it and have good luck with it if you try it. -enjoy-
12-8-2013 Vanilla flavor has mellowed
nicely,lacing last`s till the end of the glass.Very pleased with this batch.
Batch #10 1-23-2015 recipe has not changed
will be bottling in about a week or so.
This brew is our house brew all year,it`s
one for the ladies.Will be ready for St.
Paddy`s day.
batch #10 is long gone.Finally retired and will be moving to Florida in 2 weeks.I will update next batch when I brew in in the heat for the first time,Goodbye Chicago.I hope you enjoy the recipe.-Will be back to brewing soon.
-Cheers-
