Pale Ale (again)

Making this recipe again. Its not, as this badly-kept-up-to-date blog would imply, the first beer I've made since the last batch, but I don't remember what-all the others were. We _did_ however, just finish drinking the last batch, because I had a few things cellaring at once, so it got a good 9 months worth of keg aging. Don't know whether it was the aging or the recipe, but it was darn nice, so I'm making more.

Sort of. Didn't get a SG reading last time, so I can't match that. Nor did I write down AA ratings on the hops, and they were out of Centennial so I'm using Chinook. We'll see.

11 lbs. 2-row pale malt
0.25 lbs Crystal 20L
0.25 lbs Crystal 90L
1 lb. Munich malt

1 oz. Amarillo Gold (AA 9.3% Beta Acid ? 6.1%) @ 60 mins.
1 oz. Cascade (AA 6.4% Beta Acid ? 5.9%) @ 10 mins.
1 oz. Chinook (AA 11.8 Beta Acid ? 3.0%) @ 10 mins.
1 oz. Cascade (AA 6.4% Beta Acid ? 5.9%) @ 0 mins.
1 oz. Chinook (AA 11.8 Beta Acid ? 3.0%) @ 0 mins.

Initial S.G. 1.040
Final S.G. 1.004
