    Great Recipe

    I had an extra American Ale LME so I went looking for recipes and came upon this one. It's an easy recipe and all the ingredients are available even though it's archived. I thought I had a muslin sack but didn't so I just threw the hops into the keg loose. I fermented two weeks and then transferred to a second keg for the last week. The hops and trub were pretty much filtered out. I transferred again back to a clean keg on the day I bottled since there were still hop remnants in the beer. I tried a bottle like i always do at about ten days and it had a VERY hoppy aroma but also quite a grassy aftertaste. I tried another at the end of three weeks and quite a bit better but still some grassy taste. I waited another theee weeks and the hoppiness was still there but the grassy taste had subsided. I really like it. I read a bit about what might cause the grassy taste and most said it was leaving hops in too long. I will make it again but this time I will add the hops (in a sack) after about a week of fermenting to see if that prevents the grassy taste. I'm drinking it now and it's great after about 3 months total.

    Excellent!

    This is my new favorite. Wonderful taste with just the right amount of hops. It was very well received by my guests as well and unfortunately was the first one to disappear from the fridge! I will be brewing more!
