Ingredients (Extract5 gal)

  • 4 lbs Dry Amber Extract

    White Table Sugar (Sucrose)

    Common household table/baking sugar. Lightens flavor and body of beer. Can contribute a cider-like flavor to the beer if not cold-fermented or used in large quantities.

  • 2 oz Admiral - 12.0 AA% whole; boiled 20 min

    Admiral

    Admiral hops are known for their high acid content, delivering a bold yet smooth bitterness. They showcase notes of orange citrus and herbal undertones, making them an excellent choice for crafting more bitter Pale Ales and ESBs.

I added the ginger & lemons during the last 15 minutes of the boil. I also used 1/2 as much sugar as the recipe called for. It needs at least three weeks in the bottle to let the flavors mellow.
