4-Cs American Pale Ale

I liked my last APA a lot, as it was refreshing, moderate in alcohol, and well balanced between bitterness and bready malt. So I brewed a variant on that style, with a slightly different grain bill and the classic array of American hops for the aroma. FYI, I added the acid malt as an experiment, and because I have heard from some people in the brew club that it may be necessary to get the right mash pH with the water around here. I am curious if it will make any difference in the fast of the beer.

Brew day went well, sorry, didn't take many notes. I did hit my mash temp and pre-boil OG numbers pretty well.

No hop stand, just cool to pitching temps as quickly as possible.

Pitched at around 66F. Fermentation was going by the next day, and was even more active the day after.

By 8/2 fermentation ended, and the beer seems to be pretty clear. Ready for bottling I think.

8/6/14 - Bottled with  2.6 oz sugar, going for 2.5 volumes of CO2.
