Pembroke Pale Ale

6 lbs. of Pale Malt Extract
1/2 lb. of Crystal 60L Malt
3/4 oz of Northern Brewer (9%) at 60 min.
3/4 oz of Cascade (7%) at 30 minutes
3/4 oz of Cascade (7%) at 15 minutes
.5 oz  of Cascade (7%) at 0 minutes
1 oz of Cascade Dryhopped
wyeast 1056 American Ale



Haven't made this yet but plan on brewing it in the next week or so, picking up ingredients now. Hopefully this will become the house ale, not too malty, but with a nice floral nose to it. 

Edit..Brewed this up on October 23rd, will be transferring to bottles the week of the 20th, we will be drinking this by Christmas, now that's a Christmas present!

Just made the label


Since my good friend Jury Mabalo will be helping me brew this, I decided to make a label just for him.



What better way to spend your birthday than to bottle beer lol, that's what I did today, finally had a chance to bottle this, wort smelled great by the way. Also was the first time I used 22oz bottles, filled up 8 of those, that'll save some space and less bottles. Wound up with 35 12oz bottles, the 36th bottle was only half full so I drank some of that and it tasted real good, flat of course but a little bitterness with a nice floral aroma from the Cascade hops.

1.8.11   Finally had the chance to take a pic of this one, it came out really well, the body is decent and the additional oz of cascade made the difference, but I think the next time I will throw in another oz. Took a pic of both labels in 22oz bottles, definitely gonna brew this again with or without the dry hopping.
