Overcast with a Chance of Morning Brewing

Had a chilly and misty weekend. Felt like the sky was oh-so-gently pissing on Chicago for the past 48 hours. So what did I do? Well, I woke up early on Saturday and brewed of course (I seem to be brewing a lot more than I was anticipating this spring).

Took another stab at an American pale ale, the style of the first batch I ever made. I imagine I'll be drinking it in warmer weather, so I went for the following characteristics: light malt profile, dry finish, low alcohol, low esters, moderately high hop presence. I'm thirsty already.

Hmmm...looks like a good day to brew.
