Took the day off work today, planning to brew batch #2. The recipe I am using is basically the same as the Brewer's Best Imperial Blonde Ale but I bought the ingredients separately instead of buying the kit.
I will be doing a full boil (starting with about 6 gallons and boiling down to 5).
ingredients:
7 lbs pale LME
1 lb wheat DME
1 lb corn sugar
1 lb honey malt (steeping grain, steeped 20 mins at 160F)
1 oz Brewer's Gold ~1 hr
0.5 oz Cascade ~15 mins
0.5 oz Cascade ~5 mins
yeast: Wyeast 1335 (British Ale II)
estimated OG: 1.066
31.9 IBU
Color 10.2 SRM
I will probably get started here in a couple hours... critiques/thoughts/etc welcome (although I won't really be able to get any more/different ingredients in time).
