Amber Ale Grain Bill -

[leigh1919]

Guys -

Am doing my version of an Amber Ale in a couple of weeks, here's what I have got so far. Given that I'm still a bit ropey around recipes of my own, anyone got any comments? I'm going for something that I have called 'Amber Ale' but it's not anything like Anchor Steam or anything - want to end up with something fruity and full, and definately Amber/Red in colour.

0.30 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (120.0 EBC) Grain 6.00 %
