Burg's IPA
English IPA • Extract • 5 gal
I just finished creating this recipe. My local brew shop recommended the White Labs Burton Ale Yeast. It has a slight smoky taste. I like to use whole packets of hops or extract so I have limited waste.

From the famous brewing town of Burton upon Trent, England, this yeast is packed with character. It provides delicious subtle fruity flavors like apple, clover honey and pear. Great for all English styles, IPA's, bitters, and pales. Excellent in porters a
Notes
I used Hinckley Springs drinking water for consistant water content. Add the four gallons of water to the pot and pour in the Crystal Malt. Bring the water from 68F to 150F. Remove the grains and bring to a boil. Add the boiling hops and malt extract. Bring to a boil again. Add the flavoring and aroma hops at the appropriate times. Add Irish Moss during the last 15 minutes of the boil. Irish Moss is a clarifying agent. It tasted the beer before adding the yeast. Man was it bitter. Just like I had planned. I hope the flavoring hops will add a great taste. I bottled the beer one week after brewing. I added 1/2 cup priming sugar. The final specific gravity was 1.020 at 65F. I adjusted the mash efficiency and attenuation accordingly. One week after bottling I tried my first bottle. It was still alittle immature. I would add 3/4 cup priming sugar. The beer tasted great. It was bitter with a soft sweet taste. The best part was the clean finish.
