Pale Ale 2RS Malt; Castle Malting
Pale Ale 2RS Malt; Castle Malting
Features: Belgian light-coloured base malt. Kilning at up to 90-95°C. Usage: Pale ale styles and bitter beers, most traditional English beer styles. Can be used up to 100% of the grist. Characteristics: Usually used as a base malt or in combination with Pilsen 2RS malt to impart a richer malt flavor and additional color. Being deeper in colour, this malt can add a golden hue to the wort. It is used with strong yeasts to produce amber and bitter beers. Pale ale malt is kilned longer and is usually better modified, giving a more pronounced flavour than Pilsen 2RS. The enzymes in Pale ale malt can support the use of non-enzymatic specialty malts.

Acidulated Malt; Weyermann®
Acidulated Malt; Weyermann®
German-grown two-row spring barley (2004 harvest). Product Characteristics: Lowers mash, wort, and beer pH. Contains 1−2% lactic acid. Slightly smoky. Enhances enzymatic activity in mash and improves extract efficiency. Lightens color in pale brews. Enhances stability and extends shelf life of finished beer. Promotes well-rounded, complex beer flavor. Recommended Quantities: Up to 10% of total grain bill. Each 1% lowers mash pH by 0.1. Suitability (beer styles): Any ale or lager, especially Pils/Pilsner/Pilsener, low-alcohol beers, wheat beers

Yellow Corn (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Yellow Corn (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes can be used as a cereal adjunct. The flakes can be added to the mash without first using a cereal cooker. The pregelatinized flakes will give a higher yield and a more trouble-free brew than a conventional flaked corn. Also, the corn has been degermed (the oil removed), thus eliminating rancidity. • Using Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes as an adjunct produces a lower color in the finished beer without lowering the original gravity. • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes produce a beer with a mild, less malty flavor • Pregelatinized Yellow Corn Flakes produce a drier, more crisp beer. • Use up to 40% as a cereal adjunct in the total grist • Add directly to the mash with the malts. Do not mill. A single or multiple temperature infusion can be used. Conversion time and lautering time will be normal.

Wyeast Nutrient - (omitted from calculations)
Wyeast Nutrient
Although wort is a good growth medium for yeast, additional Wyeast Nutrient will reduce lag time, improve yeast viability and provide consistent attenuation rates. Low assimilable nitrogen concentrations (FAN) of grape must or wort have long been known as a cause of sluggish or stuck fermentations. Wyeast yeast nutrient, a blend of vitamin B's, minerals, inorganic nitrogen (DAP), organic nitrogen (amino acids), zinc, phosphates and other trace elements will benefit yeast growth and carbohydrate uptake for a more rapid, complete fermentation. Use 1/4 tsp per pint for beer propagation, 1 tsp per 5 gallons for wine or beer fermentation or 1.5 oz per 10 barrels for beer fermentation.
- 1 tsp
Irish Moss - Supermoss carageenan (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.
