3 Dog Canadian Amber Ale
I am still trying to get this Canadian Amber Ale down. Too much Chinook in previous tries, so I lowered the MH addition. I may up the 1 minute addition to 56 grams on the next try of this style of beer which is my favourite.
15 gallons
23 lbs. Canada Malting 2-row
1 lb. Crystal Malt ( 70L )
1 lb. Flaked Barley
28 grams Chinook ( 11.5% ) MH
14 grams Chinook ( 11.5% ) 60 min.
14 grams Chinook ( 11.5% ) 40 min.
14 grams Chinook ( 11.5% ) 20 min.
28 grams Chinook ( 11.5% ) 1 min.
40 grams Nottingham
O.G. - 1.046
F.G. - 1.012
% - 4.47
SRM -6.3
BU - 41.3
It is done fermenting now, ( Dec. 13 ). I will crash cool it for a few days to let some yeast settle. I have to remove the yeast prior to this, because if I don't it won't come out of the valve. 1/2" port is too small for all that cooled yeast. This beer has a good chinook aroma that I have been after for awhile. I don't want to put too much in at knockout, but this is good. I just have to work on the bitterness a bit more. I would like to get some Amarillo, Simcoe, or some other hop to bitter up front.
