The Blonde Ale is timeless, and it just happens to be one of the easiest all-grain beers you can make! This beer is simple and refreshing, with more flavor than you might expect from this kind of beer! Plus, I do a little dry-hopping experiment with this beer and show you how to test out new dry hops with sacrificing your whole batch!

That’s great!!
Do you prefer the Clawhammer or the Blichmann system?
I can’t say if I really prefer one over the other, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. The Clawhammer can do higher OG beers and its easier to move around, but the blichmann controller is amazing and the system is set up to do everything without ever disconnecting a hose, which is great too
could i use this water profile with spring water? or just use spring water with no water additions?
You could certainly do that but I don’t know that this would result in the same flavor. I’d encourage you to try adding the minerals to that water.
@@TheApartmentBrewer maybe a gram of calcium chloride ? and a gram of gypsum?
@@paulschroeter4987 nothing wrong with a lighter water profile
Hugs from Brazil!
