10 American Pale Ale II

Well, my last batch of pale ale got infected and dumped out. I know exactly when where in how it happened, so I'm doing everything in my power to not make that stupid mistake again. So today, I re-do the pale ale... Though I did change the recipe enough that it could well be considered an entirely different beer.

My changes came entirely from the hop bill. I've been really wanting to try this somewhat new, and hardly used method of waiting until the last part of the boil to add all of the hops. The longer you boil the hops, the more bittering you get from them, but adding them towards the end of the boil gives you more aroma and flavor from them. This method will take more hops to get the bittering I need, but I think it will be worth it. So my first hop addition will be at 20mins, then adding in 5min increments from then on out. Should be interesting to see how a beer without hops for the entire first half of the boil turns out.
