Hoppy McHopperson's Pale Ale






In retrospect, its not as hoppy as the title implies, but still a solid pale ale. The dry hopping is a good technique that adds a nice finish to this beer. It's probably the second best batch yet.

Ingredients:

4 gallons of tap water
8 oz. Caramel 10L
8 oz. Carapils
6 lbs of light malt extract
2 oz. Perle pelle hops
2 oz. Cascade pellet hops
White Labs California Ale Yeast
2 oz. Cascade pellet hops - reserved for dry-hopping


Steep grains at 155 for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil and add LME. Add 2 oz. of Perle bittering hops and boil for 60 minutes. Add 2 oz. of cascade hops the last 2 min of boil. After 3 days in primary add the additional 2 oz of cascade hops directly to fermenter.

OG: 1.046
FG: 1.010

ABV: 4.78%
