The Stogies Pale Ale

[sleepyjamie]

Getting married in October and I am making a batch of beer for the fiance's brothers band. aka "the stogies". As typical these guys drink Dry Ice, Keiths, Moosehead... However they never turn down beer so I was thinking of making them something that is decent, not too bitter and drinkable.

I might sub the bittering hop with something more clean such as northern brewer.


20 lbs 6.0 oz Pale Ale Malt 2-Row (Briess) (3.5 SRM) Grain 1 92.0 %
1 lbs 1.7 oz Aromatic Malt (Briess) (20.0 SRM) Grain 2 5.0 %
10.6 oz Crystal 15, 2-Row, (Great Western) (15.0 Grain 3 3.0 %

I recently made a PA with Amarillo hops. It turned out extremely nice and I'm sure your buddies would find it very drinkable.

looks good, but 65 IBU?

You could always cut the Columbus in half if you want to lower the IBUs. A buddy of mine had some last night and loved it, and he's a Coors light drinker.
