Ingredients (Extract5 gal)

  • 2 lbs Belgian Biscuit

    Belgian Biscuit

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

  • 2 lbs 2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess

    2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess

    Sweet, Pronounced Caramel. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • 2-Row Caramel Malt 60L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts deep golden to red color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to amber and red beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

  • .5 lbs 2-Row Chocolate Malt; Briess

    2-Row Chocolate Malt; Briess

    Rich Roasted Coffee. Characteristics & Applications: • 2-Row Chocolate Malt is used in all beer styles for color adjustment with minor or no flavor contribution. • Use 1-10% for desired color in Porter and Stout Beer. • The chocolate flavor is very complementary when used in higher percentages in Brown Ales, Porters, Stouts and other Dark Beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

  • 4 lbs Liquid Amber Extract

    Liquid Amber Extract

    Amber is used predominantly in the production of medium-colored beers such as pale ales, IPAs, and bitters.

    East Kent Goldings

    Mild, slightly flowery.

  • .5 oz Hallertau - 4.6 AA% pellets; boiled 30 min

  • .5 oz Hallertau - 4.6 AA% pellets; boiled 2 min

    Hallertau

    Good for all around bittering and finishing stock ales, Belgian ales, and continental style lagers. Aroma is mild, pleasant and flowery.

  • Danstar Nottingham

    Danstar Nottingham

    The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!

Inspired to make a brown ale by drinking New Castle. The name worked out but is just an acronym for American Brown Ale Partial Extract ;)

A few inspirations

2012-01-31 9:44am

Here are some of my other beers - "Belgian Breakfast Ale - Old Ale" inspired by my grandpa, "Western Magnolia Ale - Blonde Ale" inspired by my wife, "I-10 Rest Stop Draft Beer Specialty Beer" inspired by every rest stop we have ever stopped at in the us traveling back and forth coast to coast- , the next 3 beers were inspired by my home town in Belgium where I was born "HAINAUT - Belgian Dark Strong Ale", "HAINAUT Stout - Sweet Stout", "HAINAUT LITE - Belgian Specialty Ale", "Red Solo Cup Beer - Standard American Lager" inspired by every college football game I have ever attended and last but not least "1970 - American Amber Ale" is my trip down memory lane.
