Ingredients (Partial Mash, 5 gal)

American Victory
American Victory
Provides a deep golden to brown color. Use in nut brown ales, IPAs and Scottish ales.
- 2 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.
- .60 lbs
Dextrine Malt
Dextrine Malt
In light-colored beers to give additional body. Adds richness without color.
- 5 lbs
Liquid Extra Light; Muntons
Liquid Extra Light; Muntons
Made from the lightest available lager malt, processed carefully with the gentlest heat necessary to ensure that the resultant extract is the lightest possible from 100% malt.

- .75 oz
Fuggle - 4.8 AA% pellets; boiled 5 min
Fuggle
Mild. Mainly used for finishing and dry hopping especially pale ales, porters, and stouts. Aroma is mild and pleasant, spicy, and soft.
- .50 oz
Cascade - 5.5 AA% pellets; added dry to secondary fermenter
Cascade
Spicy with citrus notes. Slightly grapefruity.
- 1 tsp
Irish Moss - 30 min (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.

White Labs WLP051 California Ale V
White Labs WLP051 California Ale V
From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001, and slightly more flocculant. Attenuation is lower, resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.
Notes
This is a great beer. I added 1/2 of Cascade (dry hop)which I think I will leave out on my next batch. Very tasty and easy to drink. Also might cut back a pound or so on the LME and add more Maris Otter and Victory.

Too Bitter

I think I over shot the hops. It was an Okay beer, not my best. I am not sure if the yeast and hop combo was idea.
