What Can I Brew For A 21st Birthday Party

[razz]

Yeah, I can't work out what any of the guys are wearing - it was meant to be a Back to School party. Well, that's what my nephew told me when he arrived to pick up the keg wearing a schoolgirl's skirt :blink: I must say the girls wearing skirts looked a lot better - should have got those pics instead.

Pumpy,

FWIW, I wouldn't bother about a lager for the "uneducated masses", too much effort. If you're keen on doing an AG brew I reckon you want a tasty easy drinking session brew that isn't OTT with the hops. An aussie pale ale would be fine, but you might like to try my Philsale that I had in the xmas case.

"Philsale"
25l batch

4kg JWM Pils
0.5kg wheat
0.1kg crystal

15g Northern brewer (6%) @ 60
35g hallertaurer (3.5%) @ 30
20g hallertaurer (3.5%) @ 10

single infusion mash @ 66,
batch sparge
OG 1046
27 IBU
US56 @ 16-18 degrees

simple & tasty :chug: :beer:
Let us know what you decide.

Pumpy, your recipe looks really top. I found galaxy adds a nice sweetness that would appeal to young'ns, but all the 21 yr olds I know would pretty much drink anything anyway, although they might favour <25 IBU and <10 EBC...
