Maris Otter Pale
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.

White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
White Labs WLP004 Irish Stout
This is the yeast from one of the oldest stout producing breweries in the world. It produces a slight hint of diacetyl, balanced by a light frui|iness and slight dry crispness. Great for Irish ales, stouts, porters, browns, reds and a very interesting pal
Notes
Mash grains at 149 degrees for 60 minutes, then sparge with 160 degree water. Heat to boiling, add hops per schedule. When the 60 minute boil is done cool the wort as quickly as possible, and when it is at 75 degrees pitch the yeast. Primary ferment for one week between 63 - 70 degrees. Rack to secondary and hold for another week, prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle. Bottle condition for 10 - 14 days, then enjoy.
