Ingredients (All Grain, 5 gal)
- 5 lbs
Maris Otter; Crisp
Maris Otter; Crisp
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.

White Labs WLP011 European Ale
White Labs WLP011 European Ale
Malty, Northern European-origin ale yeast. Low ester production, giving a clean profile. Little to no sulfur production. Low attenuation helps to contribute to the malty character. Good for Alt, Kolsch, malty English ales, and fruit beers.
Notes
Original recipe called for Demerara sugar, 3 hour mash, 120 min boil with 2oz hops at the start. I will leave those for future attempts.
