January's Brew is: Not your average Blonde

January's brew was another Midwest Supplies kit clone. I build the kits myself from the ingredient list they provide which gives me the opportunity to tweak the recipe as I like. So the blonde ale has flaked wheat, wheat and barley malt extracts, some specialty grain malts and Williamete hops. Primary fermentation was 2 weeks and secondary fermentation an additional 2 weeks. This recipe is the first time I am trying dry hoping in the secondary stage (Williamette dry hoping in secondary stage). We will see how it turns out.
