Notes

This is my first beer after finalizing the Craft Brewing Certificate program at Cornell University. It's a simple recipe that follows the exact guideline for an Amercian Amber Ale as published by the Brewer's Association. The beer is all grain, and the mash is a single infusion, isothermal mash. Only one New World hops (Centennial although Cascades or other US hops could substitute) is used. The only caveat I have is make sure you know your water chemistry and adjust accordingly.

This would be a great recipe for someone who is starting all grain brewing.
