"Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world." ~Kaiser Wilhelm
Some of you may not know this but one of my favorite hobbies is to brew beer. My interest began when my friends Heidi & Chris decided to brew beer for their wedding back in 2005. Since then, I have learned from one of the best...my father in law Jay. He has been a brew master for many years now and he is passing on the legacy! For my birthday this year, Jay gave me the ingredients to one of his recipes that actually won an award. This pale ale may be one of my best brews and I am willing to share the recipe (for all you other brew masters out there) and my experience. Enjoy :)
ingredients:
7lbs extra pale malt syrup
12oz 20L crystal malt crushed grain
2 oz cascade leaf hops
2 oz zeus leaf hops
white labs california ale yeast - WLP 001
hopping schedule depending on your style...let me know if you want mine!

Hi Katy, I clicked on over to your blog from a comment you made on my photo on the Daily Click on Shutter Sisters. I noticed that we both have a great appreciation for beer! My husband is the homebrewer in this family and, this year, he once again started growing his own hops. For the first harvest he's going to wet hop with cascade. The other varieties won't be flowering due to transplant shock but we have high hopes for next year!
Here's a blog post I did at the beginning of this growing season: http://cggrlogan.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/fuggle-hallertau-cascade-and-golding/ I need to post an update!
Love to see a woman with a passion for homebrewing!
