My water sits a little high in sodium, but that is obviously not ideal.

After 11 revisions of this recipe, I feel like I have finally perfected the Amber ale for my personal palate. It is almost always on tap at my house, albeit not for long.

Gone through 4 more revisions, still the best Amber I've ever had.

Love me a good amber. Is this recipe your latest revision?

Jeremiah White • 12/12/2018 at 02:53am
It sure is, this a slightly sweet Amber and it benefits from a month in the keg to mellow. I've won a local brewery club best of show with it the other month, very happy with it.

Jeremiah, I am a notice brewer and don't have a keg, etc. - yet. If I want to bottle and use a priming sugar. How much priming sugar should I use to make it the prefered carbonation?

I bottle it with 6oz of dextrose. This a great recipe. I've brewed it 2 or 3 times. Can't wait to try the latest revision
