Pixies Pale Ale!!

this is a standard pal ale i brewed up over the weekend! i first started off with a half a pound of munich malt and a half a pound of carmel 40 malts. these are both put into my steeping bag and the water was brought to 170 then i discarded the grains!

brought the 3 gallons of water to a boil and added 3 pounds of the amber malt extract. mixed it in well then added 1oz of cascade hops for bittering. then you set the timer to 60 minutes! and wait

with 20 minutes left i added another 4 pounds of my amber malt extract and 1oz of warrior hops. then at the end of the boil i added my last 1oz of cascade hops! smells soooooo good now!

this time i used a common dry yeast safale US-05 ale yeast. very easy to use and store and cheap! got the whole batch cooled down to 88 degrees and poured it into the carboy with another 3 gallons of purified drinking water. then pitched the yeast in. couple of hours passed and she was a fermenting!! smells good!
