Rangeleys Ale - A Blonde Ale bittered with Magnum, lots of late Saaz, a touch of Centennial at the end. Brewing for a Christmas present.
Recipe based around one I made called 'May Day' which turned out to be rather tasty so essentially this is a Tweaked re-brew :)

Hops:
Magnum @ 60 mins 11g
Magnum @ 30 mins 5g
Brewers Gold @ 30 mins 6g
Saaz @ 15 mins 50g
Saaz @ 0 mins 30g

Alcohol Content: 4.8% ABV
Total Liquor: 33 Litres
Mash Liquor: 11.4 Litres

That is a lot of late Sazz all right.
How do you rate aromatic malt, I've a brew in my head for it?

Spud395:
I don't have an opinion of Aromatic malt as I have not used it on its own with a base malt to tell the differences, I am using it as a form of Crystal Malt (which it is) in this recipe.

Frothy:
It has made my mash efficiencies loads better, at some point I'll probably do a 'Placebo' brew with no liquor treatment and see how my efficiency is effected.

trial jar, 1014 or there abouts... tastes pretty good, stronger on the cascade-like-ness seeing as its centennial, probably bottle Weds.
