I was planning to brew a clone of Brewdog’s 5am Saint before I realised that I was missing certain grains and hops. So I decided to do a different type of hoppy amber beer, using roasted barley and extra dark crystal malt for both colour and flavour. I’m also trying to use up some old hops, so I’ll be combining a fresh bag of Cascade with an older (2014 harvest) bag of Falconer’s Flight. This is a proprietary hop blend of American “C” hops, contributing the tropical, citrus, floral and grapefruit flavours typically found in American pale ales and IPAs.

23/05/2016 – Bottled with 112g corn sugar (17 litres @ 2.5 vol). Got 21 x 750ml and 1 x 1000ml bottles from the batch. Smells raisiny. Nicely hoppy, but I’ll probably regret not dry hopping it, but I just got lazy and I wanted to get a new beer bottled as I’m fast running out of beer to drink.
