The American amber ale flavor is very close to the American pale ale and, sovaldi sale as its name implies, has an amber color. It uses malt extract and some specialty grains, so this is a relatively easy homebrew recipe. The American amber ale has a bit more toasty flavor which can be accomplished by using a darker malt extract and/or adding about a pound of 60L crystal malt as a specialty grain. The real trick to mastering a homebrew recipe is to start the process by opening up a bottle from your last batch so you can keep cool while slaving over a boiling kettle.
Ingredients:
Malt Extract: 6.6 pounds amber malt extract (two 3.3-pound cans)
Specialty Grain: 1 pound 60L Crystal malt
Bittering Hops: 2.0 ounces Cascade (60 minutes)
Finishing Hops: 1 ounce Cascade (5 minutes)
Directions:
Steep 0.75 to 1.0 pound of milled 60L Crystal malt in two gallons of water for 20 minutes between 160 and 170 degrees Fahrenheit. When the time is up, pour the liquid through a sieve to remove the grain and hulls. If these are boiled they can leach tanins into the wort, which will produce undesired flavors in your beer. Discard the grain or compost it.
Bring the wort to a boil. At the same time, let the cans of extract sit in hot tap water so they will be easy to pour.
Add the warmed syrup to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Bring the kettle back to a boil and add 2.0 ounces Cascade hops (2.5 oz for a slightly more bitter flavor) in the wort for 60 minutes.
Add an additional 1 oz Cascade hops in the last 5 minutes of the boil.
Cool the brew pot by placing it in a sink full of ice. Do not add ice directly to the wort.
Pour the cooled wort into your sanitized fermenter, top up to five gallons, and when it has reached 75 degrees or cooler, pitch the yeast.
This homebrew recipe makes an American brown ale, malady
which should have more toasty and nutty notes than the lighter American ales. It should have a brown to dark brown color. The nutty flavor and darker color is achieved by adding specialty grains to the boil. It still keeps to the American Ale style by having higher hop characteristics than a brown ale you would find in England.

ABV – Alcohol by volume. This is the percentage of alcohol in your finished beer.
Brix Scale – A scale used to represent the concentration of sugar in a solution.
DME – Dry Malt Extract.
Extract – A concentrated sugary syrup or powder used as the base for a beer. You can get this out of a can at the homebrew store or make it by mashing and sparging grain.
Lauter Tun – This is the container used to separate the mashed grain from the sugar water extract.
LME – Liquid Malt Extract.
Lovibond (abbreviated. L) – A measure of darkness of grain, sickness
often seen with a number, such as 60 L or 20 L. The higher the number, the darker the grain. Thus, 60L grain is darker than 20L grain.
Mash – The mash is the mixture of grain and water. You mash grains to break down the complex carbohydrates into simple sugars that can be easily fermented.
Mash Tun – This is the container in which grains are mashed.
Sparging – The process of rinsing mashed grain to get more sugar out of it.
Specific Gravity – The ratio of density of a particular liquid to a reference liquid. For brewing, the reference is pure water, which has a specific gravity of 1.000. Doing a calculation of your original and final specific gravities can help you figure out the alcohol content.
