A little dark according to the BJ standards but should be a good brew! Can't wait to test the biscuit flavoring against the Cascade aroma.

Ingredients (Partial Mash5 gal)

  • 4 lbs American 2-row

    American 2-row

    Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

  • 1 lbs Crystal Malt 10°L

    Crystal Malt 10°L

    Sweet, mild caramel flavor and a golden color. Use in light lagers and light ales. Characteristics & Applications: • In contract to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • Caramel 10L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts golden color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to light amber beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

  • 0.5 lbs Belgian Biscuit

  • 3 lbs Dry Extra Light; Muntons

    Dry Extra Light; Muntons

  • 0.5 oz Willamette - 5.0 AA% pellets; boiled 20 min

  • 0.25 oz Cascade - 5.5 AA% pellets; boiled 7 min

    Cascade

    Spicy with citrus notes. Slightly grapefruity.

  • Danstar Nottingham

    Danstar Nottingham

    The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!

Notes

This should be a smooth, summer brew. Hopefully the biscuit will add a bit of a twist. One could also add a fruit extract during the secondary ferment for a deeper, more complex flavor... raisens might go well with the buscuit malt.
