Just brewed - well 3 days ago - and now fermenting an American Ale. It's my first attempt at an Extract brew with Steeping Grains. I have done Extract before but not this way.
So far it is just off the final gravity amount so by tomorrow it should be ready for Dry hopping with 50g of El Dorado. It tastes fine now so am looking forward to the end of November when I can get stuck in to it properly. Target ABV = 5.19%. The brew went as expected though I only boiled the Steeping wort and the Liquid Malts. After boil time I then added and stirred in the dry malts before chilling and topping up with cold Ashbeck to my Fermentor volume - enough for 40 pints plus trub losses.

Water Notes:
NOTES:
Another attempt at an American Pale Ale. The name is inspired form the name of the pub I drink at every Monday night at the pub quiz ( The Ancient Mariner). This time I am using Steeping grains to add a bit of bite.
I had a Marina once - though mine was an Estate car - the registration was BUS 519S but the label shows the same yucky brown body colour.
Uses Tesco's Ashbeck Water with added salts.
