I made a winter ale, and in honor of the year 2012, have decided to call it Mayan Apocalypse.
4 lb wheat malt
2 lb Maris Otter malt
4 lb Munich malt
2 lb Gambrinus honey malt
1 lb Cara-Pils
1/2 lb chocolate malt
Willamette hops (4.9%), 60 min
Northern Brewer hops (7.5%), 10 min
SafAle 04 yeast, 65 - 70°F, 10 days
OG 1.074
Bitterness near 28 IBU
This should make a dark, sweet beer, with bitterness from hops and roasted grain.
next step
OG = 1.074
FG = 1.022
ABV = 6.8%
