The juniper ale was a big hit. Very high chinook hop profile gave it more of an IPA rather than the southwestern forest sense of pale I was originally going for. I will definitely remake this beer but need to get some adjustments made in the hop department. I was thinking of switching to cascade and perhaps cutting out the specialty grains altogether.
Just got back from the Midwest Brewer with some new ideas.
6 lbs gold malt extract
no specialty grains
1 oz pellets cascade at 60
1 oz plugs cascade dry hopped
I'm going to dry hop the ale with juniper berries and the cascade plugs. Should be interesting. I think for this one, I'll want to let it sit in the keg for a few days to enable secondary fermentation.
