Ingredients (All Grain, 5 gal)
- 4 lbs
Standard 2-Row; Rahr
Standard 2-Row; Rahr
Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt
- 3 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.
- .15 lbs
Roasted Barley; Simpsons
Roasted Barley; Simpsons
A typical ingredient of Irish dry stouts.
- .45 lbs
Maple Syrup
Maple Syrup
Imparts a dry, woodsy flavor if used in the boil. If beer is bottled with it, it gives it a smooth sweet, maple taste. Use in maple ales, pale ales, brown ales and porters.
- .25 oz
Summit™ - 17.0 AA% pellets; boiled 120 min
Summit™
Super-high alpha hop with a low cohumulone content and a strong orange/tangerine citrus character.
- 1 tsp
Irish Moss - 15 minutes left to boil (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.
