Ingredients (Partial Mash5 gal)

  • 3 lbs Maris Otter Pale

    Maris Otter Pale

    An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

  • 1 lbs American 2-row

    American 2-row

    Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

  • 1 lbs 2-Row Caramel Malt 80L;Briess

    2-Row Caramel Malt 80L;Briess

    Pronounced Caramel, Slight Burnt Sugar, Raisiny, Prune. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam, foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • 2-Row Caramel Malt 80L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts red to deep red color. • Use 3-15% in Amber and Red beers. • Use 10-15% in Bock beers. • Use 7-15% in Dark beers. • Use 10-15% in Porter and Stout. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

    Amber Dry;Brewferm

    Highest quality malt extract powder. Does not contain any proteins.

    Oats Flaked

    Belgian White Ale(wit), other specialty beers.

  • 1.0 oz Northern Brewer -9.8 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Northern Brewer

    Mild, slightly flowery.

  • Wyeast1968London ESB Ale™

Very close to intended outcome. 4 weeks in bottle. Hops have smoothed out and malt comes through. Served at a private tasting and everyone said it was the best of the night.
