There has already been a Jurassic Amber Ale. I guess I should use Google to check for prior naming of beers:)
The Jurassic Amber Ale is fermenting wildly! It was going well five hours after hitting the carboy. It’s not coming out of the blowoff tube, but the wort is convecting like crazy in the carboy. You have to love big ‘ole yeast starters:)
It’s time for a hoppy amber ale. This one will push the bitterness threshold for an American amber ale, but hey, I’m a hophead! Steve, from the Modesto Mashers, will be coming down to brew and hang out on Saturday. We’ll be mashing in at about 10:00 am. Here are the specifics:
