Millennium Amber Ale
Category Amber Ale Recipe Type All Grain American Amber Ale Fermentables 0.25 Lbs Crystal 40L 0.67000002 Lbs Biscuit Malt 0.67000002 Lbs Wheat Malt (american) 0.33000001 Lbs Caramel Pils Malt 8.25 Lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) 2.0 Lbs CaraMunich 60 Hops 0.5 Oz Cascade Hops 60min 0.5 Oz Cascade Hops 30min 0.5 Oz Cascade Hops 10min Other 1.5 Tsp Irish Moss Yeast Wyeast 1272 American Ale II Procedure It pretty much fits the profile of an "American Amber Ale", but is a few SRM points darker -- not to worry. We can't taste color :-) However, if it's a real concern, you can use slightly less than 1/4 lb Roast Barley to get it back within profile range (needs to go down about 4 or 5 points).
