Ingredients (All Grain5 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.

  • 0.3125 lbs Crystal 77; Crisp

    Crystal 77; Crisp

    Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales.

  • 0.3125 lbs Black Malt; Thomas Fawcett

    Black Malt; Thomas Fawcett

    Black Malt is used in stouts to improve flavor and color.

  • 1 lbs Light Brown Sugar

    Light Brown Sugar

    Imparts rich, sweet flavor. Use in Scottish ales, old ales and holiday beers.

  • 1 oz Fuggle - 4.7 AA% whole; boiled 60 min

    Fuggle

    Mild. Mainly used for finishing and dry hopping especially pale ales, porters, and stouts. Aroma is mild and pleasant, spicy, and soft.

  • 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.
