Trés Good Day Pale Ale

Hey home brewers, here's a recipe I made yesterday you may want to try out!  This easy beer recipe was brewed in my kitchen while listening to Levon Helm - Up On Cripple Creek - Circa 1969, God rest his soul.

PARTIAL MASH

5 lbs Dry Pale Malt Extract

2 lbs Vienna Malt

½ lb Flaked Barley

1 oz Liberty Hops

1 oz Mt. Hood Hops

1 oz Fresh orange zest (last 15 min. boil)

One Package White Labs California Ale IV Yeast 

Renders 5 gallons of love.

He set me up with his "Lawnmower Slammer Pale Ale recipe", but I modified it with some fresh orange zest and noodled around with the hops a bit.  This is a nice light crisp blonde colored beer that is delightfully quaffable for nice hot days coming up soon.  I've made this before.  It’s refreshing and has a slight orange nose with a hoppy finish.  This one can be ready in 20 days!  Brew your own 5 gallons of beer for less than $40 total!  Serve It Cold!
