basic blonde ale
goschman:
Thanks all. I will probably go back more to the original idea. My biggest challenge is to determine how much crystal I want to use. If honey malt is more or less crystal than I guess I should keep the total amount of honey malt + crystal at or below 10%. I do like hoser's idea too...
hoser:
Seriously, you are over thinking this :D. Blonde ales are very simple. Basically an all malt premium lager with ale yeast and maybe a little more hop character. Mostly 90+% 2-row, occasionally an adjunct(i.e. wheat), and maybe a light crystal malt, with low hop profile.
Per the BJCP (you may need to scroll down):

Here is Jamil's recipe from the Beer Dujour website. I like the centennial idea better than williamette:

Sometimes, the more simple the recipe, the better it tastes! ;)

Start simple and slowly build from there with one ingredient or process change at a time to achieve the beer you are looking for. Good luck!

Bottled this last week. Final recipe was
87.5% two row
6.25% honey malt
6.25% wheat
14 g Centennial - 60 min
14 g Centennial - 10 min
US-05 yeast
OG - 1.051
FG - 1.009
IBUs ~22
I also added 9 g lime zest, 19 g grated lemongrass with 5 min remaining in boil as I was partially influenced by Burnside's Lime Kolsch. I am afraid it will end up tasting like a glorified mexican beer with a lime...
