14 Gallons

Max's Pub Ale

This is a light, summer brew to use up some older hops. I am still brewing lighter beers at least for a while until fall gets here. I hope to get my new temperature controler wired soon so I can brew more beer.

1 lb. Flaked Barley
8 ozs. Crystal ( 70L )
71 grams Hallertauer ( 3.6% AA )

The fermentation is winding down to a slow, but steady rate. This yeast is much faster than Nottingham. I will let this ferment for 14 days to clear properly. This beer turned out well. Very light and tasty. I should of brewed this last April. This is a good summer brew that goes down great and is all malt. Too bad the big brewers are too cheap to brew a light beer with flavour. This is pretty light. Brewing hoppy ales the last while, this beer is nice, but I don't think I will brew it too often. I want beer with tons of hops in it. Hophead? I guess I am :)
