I don't know the exact profile of my well water, but I do know that it is very high alkaline - close to 7.8 but it tastes great. I use gypsum to bring it down on my pale beers - my dark beers come out fantastic without it. |

Notes
Brewed on 11/10/2013. OG was right on the money.
Update 11/14/13 - fermentation had already started the morning after brew day (which is typical for me) and as of last night it's slowed down quite a bit - all of my ales usually ferment out fairly quickly (I rarely have one still active on the 4th day). So now it'll sit for at least another 10 days to 2 weeks before it goes to keg (I don't ever rack to a secondary any more - gave that up years ago).
Update 11/29/13 - I usually keg my beers and let them carbonate naturally over a week or so, but with all the rain and then the preparations for the holidays I ran out of time and had to keg and force carb this batch just in time for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, so it was just a tad cloudy (FG 1.015). It tastes like Full Sail but I don't have any on hand to compare, but it's delicious - I'll be brewing this one again, for sure!
Update 12/10/13 - the beer has cleared and the hops have mellowed a bit. This beer tastes fantastic! I'm trying to limit myself to just one whenever I go to the tap so that the 1st keg lasts through Christmas - I'm taking the 2nd one to a New Year's Eve party where I know it'll be a big hit!
If you're a fan of Full Sail Amber Ale, you will like this recipe. This is one terrific Amber Ale!
If you brew this, leave a comment and let me know what you think.
