Ingredients (Partial Mash3 gal)

  • 1.5 lbs Maris Otter Pale

    Maris Otter Pale

    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.

  • 1.25 lbs American 2-row

    American 2-row

    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

  • 0.25 lbs Belgian Biscuit

    Belgian Biscuit

    Warm baked biscuit flavor and aroma. Increases body. Use in Belgian beers.

  • 0.25 lbs Crystal Malt 20°L

    Crystal Malt 20°L

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

  • 2 lbs Liquid Light Extract

    Liquid Light Extract

    A brewer can create any beer style with this extract when used as a base in conjunction with colored malts and selected hops. Contains no colored malts or hops.

  • 0.25 oz Zenith - 10.1 AA% whole; boiled 60 min

    Zenith

    With its strong aroma and good alpha acid content, Zenith is an excellent choice as a dual-purpose hop.

  • 4 oz Zenith - 10.1 AA% whole; boiled 5 min

    Zenith

    With its strong aroma and good alpha acid content, Zenith is an excellent choice as a dual-purpose hop.

  • White Labs WLP041 Pacific Ale

    White Labs WLP041 Pacific Ale

    A popular ale yeast from the Pacific Northwest. The yeast will clear from the beer well, and leave a malty profile. More fruity than WLP002, English Ale Yeast. Good yeast for English style ales including milds, bitters, IPA, porters, and English style stouts.

Notes

Actual OG 1.050. Be ready to lose a lot of liquid with all the hops. Hops should be Sorachi Ace, not in dropdown.

This beer is a long time gone, but I remember it fondly. One of the better beers I have ever brewed. The hop freshness was great, medium bitterness but full hop aroma and flavor.
