Next beer, looking to make a English style pale ale.
Here is what I am thinking so far:
OG 1.056 IBU 50 IBU
Base malt: Maris Otter
Boil hops: Northern Brewer 60 minutes
Flavor & Aroma hops: EKG 30, 15, 10, 5 minute
Yeast: British Ale yeast, per the LHBS current inventory. (White Labs, Wyeast & Omega are well stocked)
As a home brewer, I want to (have to) add a bit more.
8%-10% British crystal 20-40L
Plus
8%-10% something extra. Biscuit, victory, suggest something.
Maybe blend the Maris Otter with another base malt. I know sugar is common in a English pale ale maybe I can be talked into it.
Any suggestions?
