I got nostalgic for the amber ales that used to be more popular a few decades ago, so I decided to brew one for myself! This beer is loaded with West Coast hops and sits somewhere between an Amber Ale and a Red IPA. It has lots of hop flavor and substantial maltiness to balance it out!

Nice one!
I’m making an Amber tomorrow. My grain bill looks a lot like the one you used in the older video…Was it 4 years ago?
I’ve got 76.5% Maris otter, and 7.6% each of Crystal 50, Gladfield Supernova, and Munich, plus a <1% Carafa II.
Supernova is a new one for me. I think it sounds like an Amber malt, or maybe a bit like special roast. A non-sweet caramel malt substitute. Will know more in a few weeks.
For hops I’m going with single hop Red Earth, which I haven’t really tried before but it’s a cross from Columbus and a ‘Goldings-derived male variety’.
Very little information but the market pitch is ‘spicy, woody aroma with citrus under note’.
Sounds like it might go well in a Cali Common or Brown Ale. Or perhaps an amber ale!
Overnight mash not really an option but I’m gonna get set up tonight and try for an early start.
Add some rye on your next run. 1 lb to replace 1 of the 2 row, some Cara-rye and some chocolate rye.
Got me thinking about a red ale for fall!
I love your channel man… thanks for everything!
Glad you enjoy it so much, cheers man!
