Olde Spare Tyre - Extract

Olde Spare Tyre - Extract

Belgian Pale Ale • Extract • 5 gal

richanne

If you like New Belgian's Fat Tire, you are gonna love this beer. The bisquit flavor is a little more mellow, but the Maris Otter malt gives a wonderfully unique malt profile, which compliments the mild, Noble hop flavor and Belgian yeast characteristics. This is one beer you will want to try - several times!

Notes

Add extract to warm water, stir to completely dissolve. Bring to boil and add hops per schedule. At end of 60 minute boil cool wort quickly, when it reaches 80 degrees pitch yeast. Primary ferment between 68 - 73 degrees for one week, then rack to secondary and add dry hops. Keep in secondary for 2 weeks, then prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle. Condition in bottle for at least a week.
