BasicBrewing SMASH Challenge - New Albion Ale

[coldlager]

After watching the latest episode of basicbrewing video I decided to whip up a batch of this simple new albion ale last Saturday.

It sounded fun to brew the beer with the basicbrewing guys and then taste it with them via a future episode.

Any one else joining in?

APA is not really my favourite type of beer but i did cheat and used safale s-04 yeast not US-05 lol

Would be cool to see some tasting feedback on other members efforts at this beer, especially if it tastes similar to the basicbrewing version when they come to taste on air.

Cheers

That was going to be my next recipe anyway! though i was going to throw a touch of crystal in. Don't know when i'll get round to doing it though.

Maris Otter and Crystal are the basis for most ales so it is always useful to try it as it comes so to speak. Lets you appreciate the flavour gained from hops then you can start to consider the impact on different malts and styles etc
