Notes

Pre Brew Notes: This is an improvement on the Nightengale Pale Ale that I brewed. The idea is to add more fruitiness into the beer through use of American hops. The English hops are still present to give it a consistent flavour. Hopefully this beer will turn out tasting of tropical fruit and hold a medium, sweet body (due to the 120L). (I was drunk on the previous Nightengale when I produced this recipe). Because of the added 120L, the base malt has to be LOW COLOUR Maris Otter, not the regular.

12/06/17 BREWDAY - Mashed in for 1 hour with 7.75l of 64 degree strike water. Grain bag then rinsed with 0.45l of water before boil.

OG: 1.051 coming out thick and light red.
ABV: 6.5%

Tasting notes: After 2 weeks in bottling the carbonation is perfect. Slight umami flavour there which is suspected to be just from the brewkit. Head retention, colour and malt profile perfect so keep the same. Hops need to be amped up though, next time this is brewed, double the hop amounts. ABV is perfect for the style but use of more hops would balance this out and possibly get rid of that umami flavour. Also, try substituting the Goldings for Pacific Jade or Hallertau Blanc, that might be where it's coming from. It aint the best, kid, but it'll get ya drunk.
