Batch 5: Phat Tyre from Northern Brewer

This is another extract kit from Northern Brewer, this time a clone of Fat Tire Amber Ale.

Ingredients:

• .5lbs Victory Malt
• .5lbs Briess Caramel 60
• 6lbs Munich Malt Syrup
• 1lb Extra Light DME
• 2 Cups Laaglander Light DME (My addition, for good luck, I guess.)
• 1oz Liberty Hops, 60 minutes
• .5oz Hallertau, 15 minutes
• 1tsp Irish Moss, 15 minutes
• .5oz Hallertau, 4 minutes
• Wyeast #1762 Belgian Abbey II

Calendar:

• Brew Day 1/15/2005, OG 1.056 (7.2% ABV). Kit advertised an OG of 1.052.
• Moved to secondary 1/22/2005, 1.014 (1.9% ABV)
• Bottled 2/6/2005, 1.012 (1.2% ABV)

Final alcohol of 6% ABV.

Unfortunately, something may have gone wrong. I've only tried one of these so far, and it was a little weird. I'm hoping I just got a bad bottle, and I'll try another one this weekend.
