Bitter American 4"},"content":{"rendered":"

I brewed this a while back, kicked the keg tonight while bottling for homebrewing club night. I said I\u2019d share my notes \/ recipe. The Recipe is based on the BYO Clones from cans recipes.\u00a0https:\/\/byo.com\/stories\/issue\/itemlist\/category\/52-mar-apr-2012<\/a>\u00a0(no recipe here). I\u2019ve been making different versions of this beer since I started, this might be the best version so far.<\/p>\n

This versions brew day was interesting I made some successful audibles that helped keep the beer on track, but I still had one issue which I think prevented the beer from fully attenuating. I corrected a preboil gravity issue, by boiling to the correct preboil gravity \/ volume. I also made a last minute hop substitution. This was huge for me. Making the correct adjustments in time was confidence inspiring. I feel like if I can do this, I can really turn a corner in my brewing. The one issue was with underpitching my yeast, which lead to a very slow ferment with the us05, and likely the under attenuation. With the Keg kicked, it\u2019s time to brew another hoppy Pale, to keep the hoppy beers fresh and coming. The question is, another Bitter American, or something new.<\/p>\n

When I do brew this again, these are my thoughts. The aroma is good, the bitterness is a little over the top, so I\u2019ll want to lower the bittering charge, and move the 15m to 10m. I don\u2019t think it needs a double dry hop regime, I dry hopped in primary, and that was good enough for this beer. I would like it to dry out bit more, and go back to c40.\u00a0I think next time, I’ll pitch the proper amount of yeast, but I will consider a move to\u00a0s04 instead of us05.<\/p>\n
