Ingredients (All Grain5.25 gal)

  • 6 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.

  • 4.5 lbs BEST Caramel® Pils Malt;Best Malz

    BEST Caramel® Pils Malt;Best Malz

    BEST Caramel® Pils is the palest of all BEST Caramel® malts. It is therefore especially suited to giving the beer more mouth feel without intensifying its color. BEST Caramel® Pils produces a sweet flavor in the beer that is reminiscent of honey, as the sugar-like caramel compounds contained in the malt can no longer be fermented by the yeast. Likewise, these products can lead to an improvement in the foam and greater flavor stability. BEST Caramel® Pils complies with the purity guidelines of the German Reinheitsgebot. BEST Caramel® Pils is also available in organic quality.

  • FermentisUS-05Safale US-05

    FermentisUS-05Safale US-05

    The most famous ale yeast strain found across America, now available as a ready-to-pitch dry yeast. Produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate. Sedimentation: low to medium. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C± 3C(80F ±6F). Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C(68F). Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.
