Some days, you just need to brew something simple. For my brother-in-law and I, two days after Christmas was one of those days.
At the time, I had rencently brewed quite a few beers, including the Red, the WH Honey Ale, and my Holiday Beer, and when I purchased the ingredients for each brew, I had made a point of picking up additional ingredients. what’s mroe, many of the recent extract recipes had called for odd amounts of DME, which left me with a few 1/3 and 1/2 empty bags of various kids of dry extract. I also had about half a pound of Saaz left over from a 16 oz. bag that I had purchased in October or so.
Anyway, with this overstock of ingredients, and a basic need to create something simple, Grant and I set out to make an easy-drinking amber.
We used:
6 lbs DME
1 oz. Saaz @ boil
1 oz. Saaz @ 45 min
1 oz Saaz @ 30 min
1 oz Saaz @ burnout
American 1056 Yeast
Primary for 2 weeks, then bottle for 1 month before cracking the first one.
The result was exactly what we were hoping for. It was a simple ale with an amber hue and a good amount of foam after a clean pour.
Plus it only ran me about 25 bucks for the brew.
Try this one out!

I like the kitchen sink DME recipe! Short, sweet, and to-the-point brew. That’s how to relax and not worry.
That’s the idea! Glad you liked it!
