Chasity Ale

Ok, so when you find a brew that is well liked by others, they will ask you to brew it again. I have a "Chasity" brew that is enjoyed by my girlfriend. She really likes it. It is a really easy batch to make. Basically, it's: 5 lb german pilsner malt 5 lb 2 row malt 1 lb german melanoidin malt 2 oz cascade hops 6.0% alpha 1 oz fuggles hops 5.5% alpha In the boil, I use one ounce of cascade for 60 minutes. at 30 minutes, one more ounce of cascade. at 15 minutes, one ounce of fuggles, 1 tsp gypsum, 1 tsp irish moss. I usually add the wort chiller at this point as well to sanitize it. This beer is not overly hoppy and tends to be a light red. Very easy good beer.
