Mark and I brewed up a Pale Ale on Saturday. I went with Maris Otter Malt as the base for this one. Other malts used were a bit of 60 Lovibond Crystal, some Cara-Pils and a touch of Honey Malt as well as a few pounds of Malt Extract Powder. I went with Cascade and Amarillo Hops as well. These might not be the "official" hops for a Pale Ale, but I went with them nonetheless. Good old Nottingham Ale Yeast has the honor of devouring this specific grain sugar soup. I have never used Honey Malt and Maris Otter before, so I am excited to see how this turns out. It ended up with an Original Gravity of 1.054.
