3 Dog Harvest Ale
This is a Canadian Amber Ale. I brewed this a while back and it was really good until I did something at kegging time. It went south quickly. I still don't know what happened. The brew was really good up to then, so I am giving it another go.
15 Gallons
27.50 lbs. G & P 2 row
1 lb. Flaked Barley
1 lb. Crystal ( 75L )
28 grams Chinook 11.4% AA ( mash hopped )
10 grams Chinook ( 60 min ) - 11.4%
10 grams Chinook ( 20 min ) - 11.4%
28 grams Chinook ( 1 min ) - 11.4%
40 grams Nottingham
O.G. - 1.062
F.G. - 1.014
% - 6.3
SRM - 6.6
BU - 30
I mashed higher than usual ( 77C ) to get more of a malt taste that was lacking before. I know that the Notty yeast will chew through it to get a final gravity of around 14. It is pretty well done a week later. The hop bitterness is low. This is a beer for Christmas and visitors, but I like a hoppy beer. This will be okay for guests. Quite low on the bittering part, but lots of aroma and that is exactly why I brewed this beer. I probably won't go this low on the hops again with this brew. Great head with lots of lace.
