Another Brew In The Fermenter

Just finishing up a blonde ale in the brewpot. Didn't have a chance to make it last week as planned but I've got this week off work. I ended up changing the recipe a little bit as I used plain light instead of extra light extract, and upped the hop bill a little (mostly by accident...), but it should be good. Hoping this will make a good 'house beer' that everyone can enjoy regardless of their tastes in beer.

Recipe:

6 pounds liquid light extract
1 pound carapils
0.5 oz Centennial @ 45 minutes
0.5 oz Centennial @ 20 min
.25 oz Cascade @ 10 min
.25 oz Cascade @ 5 min
White Labs California Ale Yeast

It's supposed to have only 0.5 oz TOTAL Centennial hops, but I'm a moron and used a full ounce...oh well. Good thing I like hops...

The darker extract should make it a little darker then normal, but it should still have a pretty light body. I used the late extract method to try and keep the color ligher. I added about 2 pounds or so (if that) right at the beginning of the boil as people who know more then I do say it's a good idea...then the rest just after adding the Cascade hops at 20 minutes. The idea is to stop the extract from scorching, so hopefully the end result will be better. Hopefully get the final gravity down a little more then usually too.

This will be a quick beer, so hopefully in two weeks this will be ready to drink ;)
