It’s been a while since I’ve made a batch of homebrewed beer. I like to do it, but I’ve been distracted by other things in life, so I haven’t done it for a long time. Today, I fixed that. I decided that I wanted to take some of the Cascade hops I have from my dad’s hop farm, and make a Northwest Pale Ale, something quite like the Deschutes’ Red Chair NWPA.
Recipe follows…
