Style Of The Week 5/12/07 - American Amber Ale

[raven19]

What's your OG planned there Rook? ibu seems low imo.

My house amber is 90/10 based/med crystal
Around 1048 ish OG and 40+ ibu's (iirc).
I tend to go 3g/L at 10 & 1 min too.
Need to check my home PC though (as I can't open my recipe thread on ahb...)

Edit - found it. I was way off on the above!

Here is mine:

90 Wey Pils
10 Med Crystal
1055og
1272 yeast
Cascade 2g/L at 10, 5, 1 & dry hop plus magnum to hit 36ibu
66 mash.

Rook for 32IBU i'd be looking about 1045 or so. Personally, i'd up both OG and IBU to say 1050 and 40IBU for a west coast style AA
