#75: Amarillo Pale Ale #2


Last brewday for a while.  Way too much beer in ferment/condition/bottle to justify more brewing until Fall. I still have some of the extracts from the contest (about 7-8, I think), and a couple of yeasts that need to be used, so I'll likely do an extract brewday or two before completely shutting down.

Was thinking wheat IPA here, especially after seeing Amarillo hops at the LHBS.  I intended to do about 50% wheat and 50% 2-row/carapils, but I ended up only 10% wheat after a LHBS snafu.  No worries. Adjusted my efficiency down to what I've been getting lately and thus hit my OG perfectly.  When I pick back up brewing, I'll have to address getting my efficiency up.  For today, adding a couple dollars extra grain got me there.

  1. Hit 1.018, so bottled today. 22 bottles (two of them bombers, one of them a ginger ale tester). Taste was rock solid. Taste and aroma was what I wanted... Amarillo goodness.
