Re: Please Help My Summer Blonde Ale




Summer Blonde Recipe:
1 lb. 20L Crystal Malt
4 lb. Munton's Plain Super Light LME
1 lb. Munton's Plain Wheat DME ( which is 55% wheat, 45% barley) 1 lb.
Pure Wildflower honey
a starting gravity of 1.046 and finish up at 4.5% alcohol. I'd sort of
thought about adding a small amount of corn sugar to lighten it up and
add a little more kick, but I've never used honey before, and I'm afraid
honey AND corn sugar will make the brew a little cidery.


i am by no-means a expert on this ... but if you are woried about
adding sugar to honey THEN DON`T!! .... i think it is true... mix sugar
& honey and you get a cider-lemon-YUCK!!!! .. it hapend to me.....
if it were me i would just add more honey........ and if its to heavy
for a summer beer (freez it/keg-it) and throw out the ice slush...
PS... i would go light on the hops..... JMO .....
