Black Death Ale

This was my ninth batch ever of beer. I’ve tweaked it a bit, and will be brewing it on December 2 soon:

  • 6 pounds Briess Pilsen dried malt extract
  • 3 pounds Trader Joe’s mesquite honey
  • 0.5 pound 40 L crystal malt
  • 0.5 pound chocolate malt
  • 1 ounce Columbus pellet hops (13.5% α, 60 min)
  • 0.5 ounce Cascade pellet hops (5.9% α, 15 min)
  • 0.5 ounce Cascade pellet hops (5.9% α, 15 min steep)
  • Safale US 05 ale yeast

Projected OG 1.077, 46.3 IBU

EDIT: I am considering dialing back the hops and using Safbrew T-58 for more of an abbey ale (trappistoid?) style.
