Left Behind Pale Ale

Friday, July 11th, 2008

So after all the brewing I am doing with custom recipes, I will be left with some extra ingredients. I don’t want to waste anything, especially with the price of hops and grains what they are, so I decided to make a pale ale from the left over hops and grains.
The name comes from the fact the ingredients are “left behind” from being brewed into sweet beer heaven.

This will also be my first 90 minute boil and all grain batch. I went with a 90 minute boil to get the most out of the bittering hops. I will be using my mash tun that I built a month ago. Hopefully it works as intended!

First all grain recipe using left off stuff:
