Brew #4: Sam Jackson (Extract SMaSH Ale)


It's not REALLY a SMaSH cuz extract isn't single malt.  I just wanted to make my first actual beer with the least and easiest ingredients possible.  After doing some googling, I came across this which was the seed of inspiration.

Anywho, I didn't really know what to call it, and it ended up being pretty good but kinda ghetto.  So the name came from Dave Chappelle's parody skit, mainly cuz of the tag line, "It's good ####in' beer!"

3 lbs. Light DME
1 oz. Cascade
.5 oz at 60 min
.5 oz at 10 min
Top up to 2.5 gal. In fermenter

Pitched S-05 dry
OG: 1.051
Target gravity: 1.014

Pitched 4/12/14
4/16 - SG: 1.012
4/17 - SG: 1.012
4/18 - FG: 1.012

Xferred to secondary (2 gal. Bucket w/ no headspace) on 4/22
Bottled 4/26 (dry corn sugar right into bottling bucket, oops)
5/3 tried one and it was great after being in fridge for 2 days

Tasting notes: tastes like a Caramel hefeweizen.
