Ingredients
- 4Â 1/2 lb Light Dry Malt, 2.1 k
- 8 ounce Crystal Malt, 227 grams
- 2 ounce Munich Malt, 57 grams
- 3Â 1/2 ounce Crushed Chocolate Malt, add in to mash, 99 grams
- 8 ounce Dark brown sugar, 227 g
- 4 ounce 100% Dextrin Pwdr, 113 g
- 1/2 tsp Gypsum
- 3/4 tsp -Salt
- 2 ounce Bittering hops, Fuggle or possibly
- 1 ounce Aromatic hops, Northern Brewer dry hops , 28 g Water to 5 US gallons or possibly 19 litres water
- 3/4 c. Corn sugar, for primimg
- 1/2 ounce Ale yeast, 14 grams
Directions
- Starting Specific Gravity: 1.047 Final Specific Gravity: 1.015 Alcohol by vol 5%
- If your recipe contains Munich or possibly Crystal Malt, place the cracked or possibly grnd grain in a kitchen pan, cover with water, heat to approximately 150F (66 C), cover & let stand (either on the stove top or possibly in the oven) 45 min to 1 hour before you're actually ready to start to work. Place a colander over your boiling kettle (pot) & pour in the grain, letting the water collect in the pot below. Rinse through the grain with warm water, at least 130 degrees F (54 C) but no hotter than 170F (77 C) till a clear runoff is obtained. Throw away the grain. The liquid becomes part of the boil.
- Thoroughly dissolve the following; Dry Malt, any sugar EXCEPT the priming sugar (used for bottling), Dextrin Pwdr, Gypsum and Salt in two or possibly more gallons of water (as much as possible). Heat to a rolling boil. Stir in the Bittering Hops along with the Chocolate Malt and boil 30 min more, adding Aromatic Hops during the last two min. (If you are using hop pellets, you may 'dry hop', adding the pellets to the fermenter just proir to fermentation instead of putting them in the boiling kettle.) At the end of the boil, the wort should be cooled as quickly as possible to a temperature between 70 and 85 degrees F (21-27 C), so the yeast can be added.(If you wish measure starting specific gravity) Fermentation: Siphon your cooled wort into one or possibly more sanitized glass jugs (or possibly fermentors), filling no more than 2/3 full. (Anne's note the total amount of liquid should be 5 American gallons.) Add in the yeast, attach a airlock to each container and allow fermentation to proceed. In 5 to 7 days, when apparent yeast activity has ceased and it taste like dry, flat beer, you are ready to bottle. Siphon beer carefully into secondary container, don't disturb sediment. (Anne's note: if this is done TWICE, the second time a day or possibly so later, there will be almost no sediment in the beer.) Boil priming sugar and stir in carefully. Siphon primed beer into clean bottles and cap (allow some headspace.) Check ales after week or possibly two. (We've found which they are most drinkable after 3 weeks.)
