Cat's Pajamas - 19 litres

                This is a recipe that won a third place in the American Amber ale category in a local hb store's annual competition. It is a very versatile recipe, so feel free to change up the hops as desired--the result will probably be as good or better. 

Cat's Pajamas 
19L - 2.5 gallon boil 

2.7 kg Amber malt extract syrup 
450g Pale Malt 
450g Medium Crystal malt 
85 g Chocolate malt 

Centennial for bittering 
15 g Cascade and 15 g Centennial hops for last 10 minutes of the boil 
15 g Cascade and 15 g Centennial hops steeped for 15 minutes after the boil 

Add enough bittering hops to get a final IBU of about 30. 
I used Safale 05 for this beer, but Nottingham will work just as well IMO.
