12.00 lbs Standard 2-Row; Rahr

Standard 2-Row; Rahr

Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt
.50 lbs Belgian Special B

Belgian Special B
.75 lbs Crystal 60; Crisp

Crystal 60; Crisp

Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales.
0.25 lbs Chocolate Malt; Breiss

Chocolate Malt; Breiss

Rich roasted coffee flavor. Characteristics & Applications: • 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 6-Row Malting Barley varieties.
.50 lbs Candi Sugar Clear

Candi Sugar Clear

Smooth taste, good head retention, sweet aroma and high gravity without being apparent. Use in Belgian and holiday ales. Use clear for tripels, amber for dubbels, and dark is used in brown beer and strong golden ales.
0.50 oz Magnum - 14.5 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

Magnum

Bred in 1980 at Germany’s Hüll Hop Research Center, this high-alpha variety is renowned for its exceptionally large, heavy cones. Hallertauer Magnum delivers excellent yields and, like many Hüll-developed hops, boasts a strong resistance to disease.
1.0 oz Saaz - 5.0 AA% pellets; boiled 5 min

Saaz

Used for finishing pilseners, continental lagers, and wheats. The aroma is spicy and pleasant with fragrant overtones.
.50 oz Magnum - 14.5 AA% pellets; boiled 30 min

Magnum

Bred in 1980 at Germany’s Hüll Hop Research Center, this high-alpha variety is renowned for its exceptionally large, heavy cones. Hallertauer Magnum delivers excellent yields and, like many Hüll-developed hops, boasts a strong resistance to disease.
.50 lb Raisins - mashed then added to boil last 15 min. (omitted from calculations)

Raisins

Dried grapes. Has a sweet prune like flavor. California discovered the commercial potential of raisins quite by accident. In 1873, a freak hot spell withered the grapes on the vine. One enterprising San Francisco grocer advertised these shriveled grapes as "Peruvian Delicacies" and the rest is history. California is now the world's leading producer of raisins.
Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes™
