  • 4 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.

  • 2 lbs Crystal Rye Malt; Thomas Fawcett

    Ale colour and flavour adjustment tailored to requirement.

  • 2 lbs BEST Wheat Malt Dark; Best Malz

    BEST Wheat Malt Dark; Best Malz

    BEST Wheat Malt Dark is the dark or “Munich” variant of BEST Wheat Malt. It is suited to effervescent, amber-colored and dark wheat beers as well as top-fermented beer styles. Thanks to the more intensive malting technique, BEST Wheat Malt Dark achieves a fuller, maltier body in the beer combined with richer, luminous colors. The flavor profile is somewhat fruitier and more flowery than a barley malt of a comparable hue, while the foam is improved thanks to fine pores and greater durability.

  • 2 lbs Crystal 120; Great Western

    Crystal 120; Great Western

    As longer roasting times are used to reach colors of 120° ASBC, this crystal malt takes on a fairly intense toffee flavor but still avoids the burnt character of chocolate or black malts.

  • 1 lbs Rice Hulls

    Rice Hulls

    Rice Hulls are used as a filter medium, mostly used in all grain wheat beers to help prevent a stuck mash.

  • 1 lbs Oats (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess

    Oats (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess

    Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Oat 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 Oat Flakes. However, they can be put through the mill if that is the easiest means of adding them to the mash. • Oat Flakes have been dehulled before being cooked and flaked. Although the flakes are readily attacked by the malt enzymes, yield will be slightly lower than with other Pregelatinized Flakes. • Oat Flakes have a very distinctive “sticky” mouthfeel which is noticeable even when used in small amounts. • Use 5-25% of the total grist for an Oatmeal Stout. • Use a small percentage in Belgian Wit Beers.

  • 2 oz Chinook - 12.4 AA% whole; boiled 60 min

  • 1 oz Mt. Hood - 6.4 AA% whole; boiled 15 min

    Mt. Hood

    Used mainly for aroma and flavor in American and German style ales and lagers. Aroma is mild, pleasant, light, and clean.

  • 2 oz Tettnanger - 5.4 AA% whole; boiled 2 min

    Tettnanger

    Mild, slightly spicy. 'Noble'.

  • 2 tbsp Irish Moss - 5 minutes to EOB (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.

  • Wyeast 1007 German Ale™

    Wyeast 1007 German Ale™

    Ferments dry and crisp, leaving a complex but mild flavor. Produces an extremely rocky head and ferments well down to 55F.

Notes

Include a 90˚F Beta-glucan rest in mash sched. Don't be afraid of rice hulls, this one could get sticky.
