Edited by Matt and Susan Pinsonneault
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 7 lbs | plain dark malt extract |
| 1/2 lb | 20L Crystal malt |
| 1/4 lb | black patent malt |
| 2 oz | Fuggles hops (boiling) |
| 1/2 oz | Cascade hops (finishing) |
| Wyeast 1338 Euro Ale Yeast | |
| 3/4 cup | Priming sugar |
Add the crushed malts to 1 1/2 gal cold water and bring to boil. When boiling begins remove the grains. Add the malt extract and boiling hops and boil for 45-60 minutes. Add finishing hops 5-10 minutes before end of boil. Sparge the wort and pour it into 2 1/2 gallons of cold water in the primary.
Batch One
- 30-Mar-2008: Boiled wort for 60 minutes; added finishing hops 5 minutes from end of boil. Added an additional 1/2 oz of Cascade hops 2 minutes from end of boil for aromatics. S.G. 1.046 @ 80F. Pitched yeast at 80F.
- 31-Mar-2008: Steady fermentation.
- 3-Apr-2008: Racked to secondary. S.G. 1.030 @ 77F. Slow, steady fermentation in secondary. Nice, mild flavor.
- 8-May-2008: Finally got around to bottling it. S.G. 1.016 @ 79F. Nice, clear amber liquid. Smells nutty and buttery, and still has a mellow, very tasty flavor. This'll be good.
