Jamil’s Blonde Ale
Blonde ale is what most Amererican’s think of when they think of beer. This is a light, easy drinking beer that is well balanced, lightly hopped, clean, and crisp. The grain bill is very simple–blonde ales can be brewed using only a single grain, the base malt.
Grain Bill
12 lbs 2-row
0.5 lbs Crystal 20L
The Mash
Single Infusion Mash @ 151F
Hop Schedule
90 minute boil
1 oz Willamette @ 60 minutes.
Yeast
White Labs California Ale Yeast
Notes:
Create a yeast start at least a day ahead of time or pitch two vials of yeast. Fement this beer at 67F; mine took about nine days to complete. For such a simple grain bill, the fermentation temperature must be well controlled. Off flavors will not be hidden!
