3 Dog Harvest Ale

I brewed this a month or so ago and that useless yeast from Australia didn't complete it's job. Threw it out. Garbage yeast. I didn't use any crystal malt with this recipe. Kept it simple.

15 Gallons

25 lbs. OiO 2 row pale malt
1.5 lbs. Munich malt
50 grams Amarillo - 20 min.
50 grams Centennial - 20 min.
50 grams Amarillo - 10 min.
50 grams Centennial - 10 min.
50 grams Amarillo - 0 min.
50 grams Centennial - 0 min.
4 sachets of rehydrated Nottingham yeast.

O.G. - 1.050
F.G. - 1.010
% - 5.2
BU - 20
SRM - 5

This has a nice, light citrus flavour to it. I didn't want it to be too strong, just a nice CPA. It did, however have a good hop bite to it when I tasted the wort. I like this, but it needs more of a malt background. It is Jan. 25th now. It is unbalanced. Too much of a hop bite vs a malt background. Next time use more Munich malt or ssomething to give it more malt. Maybe mash higher.
