Notes

ABV: 5.4 %

This is the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone except I am substituting Amarillo for Cascade.

Was rushed so used a different hopbreak method. At flameout I just put 18.5 gr of amarillo in a bag into the wert and started cooling straight away. It took about 45 minutes to get down to 20c, so this seemed credible and saved about 30 minutes.

day 5:1015 (bubble every 7 seconds and bubbles rising)
Day 6: 1013 (bubble ever 13 Seconds and bubbles rising). Tastes quite citrus and pale yellow colour.

On day 6 I racked beer from fermenter to bright vessle placing 21 gr of armarillo in dry hop bad and then racking. Using Terry's bright vessle the 27.3 litres went right to the top, so perfect in size.

After 8 days in bright tank the gravity dropped 2 more points to 1001. tastes promising before bottling. used 2.1 vol of co2 and 123 gr of table sugar for sec ferm.

49 bottle yield

TASTING NOTES:
Huge hop flavour, a testimate to Armarillo. Improved after 4 weeks in bottle so don't drink early. Sometimes I think something note quite right with finish, possibly a bit on sour side, but still very good. Could knock back flavour hopping by 25% and up IBUs to 55. Might be fine at 5% ABV.
