This pale ale is made with Amarillo hops that have a very unique flavor. It will be light on hops and based on our first taste while bottling it will have a pretty bitter bite to it. We went off the map for this one. After 6 days we added 5 lbs of sliced cucumbers in the fermenter for 10 days to hopefully add a new spin on pale ale. Also, transferred it twice before bottling in hopes of having less sentiment at the bottom so you can enjoy it out of the bottle. Let's hop it turns out...
6 lb Gold liquid malt extract
1 lb light DME
8 oz Carapils
8 oz Caramel 60L specialty grains
1/2 oz Columbus hops
2 oz Amarillo hops
5 lbs skinned cucumber
O.G. 1.052
F.G. 1.014
ABV 4.99%
Bobcat Brew is an extension of Bobcat Chow, started by four Ohio University graduates that lived together, drank together and cooked together for four years in Athens. We started with great food and have decided to expand to beer. This blog will follow our very beginning batches and who knows, maybe someday we will look back at this as the start of our own brewery...
