this is the second version of a recipe that developed on this site. The first batch came out clear for a hefe. It is smooth and sweet. It has a solid body and is the best beer that I have brewed to date.

Ingredients (Partial Mash5 gal)

  • 5 lbs Maris Otter Pale

    An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

I made the beer and it was under for the O.G. for the style and I had some burning to the bottom of the pot. the o.g. was around 1.063 and i had problems with the mashing process. I could have boiled it longer, i have more six gallon instead of the five i was shooting for.
