Ingredients (All Grain32 gal)

  • 75.46 lbs BEST Pale Ale Malt; Best Malz

    BEST Pale Ale Malt; Best Malz

    BEST Pale Ale Malt deepens the light “golden” colour of the top fermented beer and creates a pleasant taste. It is an excellent base malt for brewing many different styles of Anglo-Saxon Pale Ale.

  • 0.77 lbs Chocolate Malt (Organic); Breiss

    Chocolate Malt (Organic); 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.

  • 0.44 lbs Caramel Malt 60L; Briess

    Caramel Malt 60L; Briess

    Sweet, pronounced caramel flavor. 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.

  • White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend

    White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend

    Our most popular yeast strain is WLP001, California Ale Yeast. This blend celebrates the strengths of California- clean, neutral fermentation, versatile usage, and adds two other strains that belong to the same 'clean/neutral' flavor category. The additional strains create complexity to the finished beer. This blend tastes more lager like than WLP001. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated, but not to the extreme of California. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation.
