Brewing an American Blonde Ale

Blonde Ales have more fun, I believe. At the very least, this is an awesome, everyday beer!
The recipe:
92% Rahr 2-row malt
4% Vienna malt
4% White Wheat malt
Mash at 65C/149F for 60 minutes
Mash out at 75C/168F
60 minute boil
24g Pacific Gem hops (12% AA) First Wort Hop
28g Citra hops at flameout
Aerate wort and pitch yeast. Ferment at 67F, ramping to 72F by end of fermentation, ensuring max attenuation.

Hahaha! No kidding! I love this brew...it's a crowd pleaser, even with the lighter lager drinkers.

did you say you used 1 lb of vienna? nice beer

So, that would depend on how much you're brewing, and what specific alcohol content you're looking for. In the video description, I give the percentages I use in my grist...I do it that way, so it can be scaled to any size batch and any system. If you're using, say, 10lbs grain total, then .4lb each of Vienna and Wheat malt. I use Beer Tools Pro software for my recipes, so tracking all that is pretty easy. For someone who doesn't use brewing software, you could base the quantity of malt on a comparable ABV beer you like, using its total grain weight, and go from there. Thanks for the question and the kind words! 😁
