Sweet Amber Ale
Beer Style: American Amber Ale
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
This recipe was the immediate predecessor to the American Amber Ale All-Grain Recipe Kit developed in collaboration with Eckert Malting & Brewing Co from Chico, California. Both recipes have relatively the same ingredients with the following exception: this version has 2 lbs CaraMillet as opposed to 1 lb in the final recipe; and the final recipe has the addition of Biscuit Rice Malt. The use of 2 lbs CaraMillet in this recipe adds a significant amount of residual sweetness to the finished beer. This full bodied beer has a very malty sweetness with caramel tones pared with American style hops. It is a great tasting beer that did not make the final cut as a recipe kit.

- 5 lb Pale rice malt (hulled and/or naked varieties)
