    Body and Richness. Distictive Nutty flavor and or sweet, smooth caramel flavor and a red to deep red color. For porters, old ales.

  • 1 lbs Munich Malt; Bairds Malt

    Munich Malt; Bairds Malt

    This malt is used in the production of dark Dunkel Lagers, which are dark in colour with a brownish tinge. Munich malt is only a part of the grist, along with pale Lager malt and perhaps Caramalt. The malt is a well modified Lager malt, which is kilned in such a way, that modification continues during kilning and very high finishing heats (105 -120°C) are used to produce the characteristic colour and flavour.

  • .375 lbs Victory® Malt; Briess

    Victory® Malt; Briess

    Biscuity, baking bread, nutty flavors. Characteristics & Applications: • With an aroma of baking bread, Victory® Malt is great in Nut Brown Ales and other dark beers. • Special processing develops the biscuity, baking bread, nutty flavors that are distinctive in Victory® Malt. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 6-Row Malting Barley varieties.

  • .625 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.

  • 0.4 oz Target - 9.7 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Target

    Used for its robust bittering ability in British ales and lagers. Aroma is quite intense.

  • 0.50 oz Willamette - 4.6 AA% pellets; boiled 15 min

    Willamette

    This hop is used for finishing and dry hopping American and British style ales. Aroma is mild and pleasant ans slightly spicy

  • 0.50 oz Goldings - 5.0 AA% pellets; boiled 1 min

    Goldings

    Mild. Slightly flowery.

  • 1 tsp Irish Moss - 15min (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.

  • Wyeast 1272 American Ale II™

    Wyeast 1272 American Ale II™

    Fruitier and more flocculant than 1056, slightly nutty, soft, clean, slightly tart finish.

I brewed this 4/17/11. SG 1.050 which is right at what BYO says. I subbed in .625 Marris Otter in place of some 2-row.

Excellent results. Great recipe. My thermometer shorted out and the yeast was pitched above 90 deg. F. It didn't matter. I used a yeast starter using your recipe for the starter. Great amber color, good finish, very satisfying, alcohol in the mid 5's.
