Light, crisp and delicious. This is an easy all grain Pale Ale. Started with byo American Pale Ale for May 1999. Substituted .5 lbs wheat for the Crystal 60 for a little wheat flavor. Added vodka soaked zest from 3 oranges to secondary.

Notes:

This was my first attempt at an all grain brew and it is awesome. Much better than my previous all extract and partial brews. Very smooth, very quenching. I'm brewing again right away as this will not last long in the keg. The orange zest with a hint of wheat turned out extremely well. Give it a try as a first all grain brew. You won't be disappointed.
