I have some brewing to do this weekend. I am quickly running out of all beer. All my kegs are down to probably a gallon or less. I decided by the wheel of fate, which beer I’m gonna brew.
Keg Filler Blonde.

A new brew. Just one that I made up in order to get something in the keg and up and running very quickly. But at the same time.. Be somewhat to style.

There are a lot of different opinions of what a Blonde ale is supposed to be. I for one don’t look at one as the lightest beer out there.
When I think of a Blonde ale I think of a lighter colored beer that’s average alcohol, but has a definite malt, hop and yeast profile. Somewhere between a light lager and a pale ale.

So to get there. I went with

Keg Filler
-8 lbs 2row for the base grain
-1 lbs Munich to get a little malt backbone
-½ oz citra @ 60- this should give it enough bittering but stay short of bitter
-½ oz Citra @10- for hop taste, yet be enough in the nose to be noticed
-Nottingham Yeast- extremely light esters and keeps it from being dry.

I’m gonna mash this at 154 because there is nothing but base malts and want to keep some of that body.
There should be nothing fancy or standoutish for this beer. And that is the point of this one. Just a quick solid Keg Filler beer.

Next up…
Something for these red currants I have.
