Ingredients (All Grain5.5 gal)

  • 10 lbs Northwest Pale Ale Malt; Great Western

    Northwest Pale Ale Malt; Great Western

    A slightly darker base malt than our Premium 2-Row, our Northwest Pale Ale Malt is produced from well-modified, Western-grown 2-Row barley, with a kilning regimen based closely on traditional British Pale Ale malting practices. Contributes a malty complexity to beer flavor and aroma. Excellent in American Pale Ales and American versions of British beer styles.

  • 1 lbs White Wheat Malt

    White Wheat Malt

    Weizens. Improves head retention in all beers. Contributes spicy flavor. Protein rest required.

  • 1.3 lbs Crystal 75; Great Western

    Crystal 75; Great Western

    This two-row malt is roasted to product a color of 75° ASBC. At this roasting level the toffee flavors join the caramel character for a more complex flavor.

  • 0.2 lbs Kiln Coffee Malt; Malteries Franco-Belges

    Kiln Coffee Malt; Malteries Franco-Belges

    This malt is obtained by a strong torrification process of normally kilned malts originating from selected barleys. This malt reinforces the taste and mellow flavor of the beer. It also reinforces the color of the beer, but does not color the foam.

  • 0.7 lbs Pale Chocolate; Crisp

    Pale Chocolate; Crisp

    Roasted coffee flavor.

  • .5 lbs Barley (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess

    Barley (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess

    Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Barley Flakes have been produced specifically for brewing, developing characteristics necessary for easy and efficient use in a brewhouse. The process of gelatinizing makes the starches readily soluble and digestible by the naturally occurring enzymes in barley malt. This allows the flakes to be incorporated directly into the mash with other grains. • Because flakes have a large surface area and are pre-cooked, they hydrate and disintegrate quickly. Filtration time will be normal. • There is no need to mill Barley Flakes. However, they can be put through the mill if that is the easiest means of adding them to the mash. • Use Barley Flakes as an adjunct in all-grain brews to produce a lighter colored finished beer without lowering the original gravity. • Use in place of corn as an adjunct to eliminate corn flavor in the finished beer. • Use at 10-25% of total grist to produce a light colored, mild flavored, dry beer.

  • 0.75 oz Galena - 13.0 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Galena

    Neutral. This hop can be very bitter, but blends well with finishing hops. Used in American ales and lagers, but suitable for all beer styles. Aroma is medium but pleasant.

  • 0.25 oz Cascade - 5.5 AA% pellets; boiled 30 min

    Cascade

    Spicy with citrus notes. Slightly grapefruity.

  • 0.25 oz Tettnanger - 4.5 AA% pellets; boiled 5 min

    Tettnanger

    Mild, slightly spicy. 'Noble'.

  • White Labs WLP002 English Ale

    White Labs WLP002 English Ale

    A classic ESB strain from one of England's largest independent breweries. This yeast is best suited for English style ales including milds, bitters, porters, and English style stouts. This yeast will leave a beer very clear, and will leave some residual s

Notes

+ Single infusion mash, 155F for 60m + .25 of the first Galena addition will be FWH Increase Ca to 129ppm + Other departures from CYBI recipe: -> flaked barley for carapils -> higher % of Crystal 75 for Crystal 80 --> different mix of lower lovibond chocolate malts. Departures are based on prior experience and preference: My mash efficiency tends to be lower than the average, (added higher % of a lower lovibond crystal); I find that dark malts tend to give harsher flavors than expected (a smaller % of the intense MFB for coffee/chocolate flavor; higher % of pale chocolate for toastyness; I don't care if the SRM is lighter than the original); the flaked barley is cheaper than carapils;
