Build-a-Dragon Release

The Build-a-Dragon was brewed as a culmination to the OBC Build-a-Beer Project that occured over this past year. The goal of the BAB Project was to teach recipe design by isolation of ingredients and experimentation over three phases: malt, hops and yeast. The best ingredients were chosen by
blind evaluation of beers focusing on each phase to arrive at a final recipe for the Build-a-Beer American Pale Ale. The Build-a-Dragon is that recipe; simple and clean with a good hop backbone but a bit stronger.
Ingredients: Golden Promise pale and C-40 malts with Amarillo & Centennial
Hops and Scottish Ale (Wy1728) yeast.
50 IBU, 6 SRM, 6.4 ABV, 15.4 Plato
