About to kick off my next two batches of home brew.
First is a relatively easy-drinking 4.5 - 5.0% amber ale with Challenger and Cascade hops for home. Mix of mostly Maris Otter with about 10% Crystal malt in the grain bill. Might throw a bit of Cara Red in there, I have some leftovers to use up.
Then a keg of a Christmassy beer for the office. Maris Otter Pale, Crystal and Chocolate malt in that, with a mix of Challenger and Perle hops. Aiming for 5.5 - 6% and a much darker colour with a toastier flavour.
