Colorado Strong Pale Ale
Brewed: 05/31/2020 Kegged: 06/12/2020
Early in May 2020 ... with all the Covid-19 Shelter-in-Place and Safer-at-Home directives, the small local businesses all struggled to stay in business.
Colorado craft breweries obviously were affected.
Left Hand's Brewing Foundation came up with a fund raising idea to try to help local breweries ... The Colorado Strong Fund.
Basically, they came up with a recipe and bought ingredients for breweries to brew it. Several of the local breweries I visit signed up.
Seeing this, I asked if I could get a homebrew recipe, and the answer was "yes". I made a donation to the fund, and they sent me the recipe.
The recipe they sent included locally produced malts, hops, and yeast.
Of course, I made a few minor modifications, but for the most part stayed as true to the recipe as I could.
I'm hoping that I'll be able to grab beers brewed by several of my local favorites to compare to my batch once it is done.
You can make a small donation to the fund, and select that you want the recipe sent to you.
SheppyBrew's recipe basically follows the recipe with a minor modification of hops.
OG: Right at planned 1.055 FG: 1.010 ABV: 5.9% ADF: 81%
