3 Dog Harvest Ale

This is another version of this Canadian Amber Ale. The previous one is okay, but too thin of a malt taste. I added some biscuit malt to this to see if it will get more of a malt background to it.

15 Gallons

25 lbs. OiO 2-row
1.5 lbs. Munich malt
1.18 lbs. Biscuit 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.
34.5 grams rehydrated US-05

O.G. - 1.050
F.G. - 1.010
% - 5
BU - 20
SRM - 6

I didn't see any signs of fermentation until the next morning. Too long of lag time. 18 hours. Now if this was a lager, that would be okay. This isn't the first time I have had a long lag time with this yeast. I'm not worrying though...
