Itchy Paws

After making Pembroke Pale Ale, I wanted to make another American Pale Ale, since  one of these will be my house ale, I wanted to change the recipe around alittle.

Brewed this last night, this way I can be drinking both of these on New Years Eve, always a good thing.

Wow, I just realized this is my 95th gallon of beer brewed, my next recipe will be my 100th, guess I'll have to do my first IPA then.


Cracked one open last night and am very happy with the results, although the next time I brew this I will dry hop with 2oz's of Cascade instead of 1oz, to improve the nose, still came out very good though. Little bitter in begging of the taste, with a nice floral aroma, picture came out much darker , which is usually the case.
