Notes

This is a late-addition extract brew. After seeping the C20 for 30 mintues at ~150-170°F, remove the grains and bring to a boil. Add ONLY the Perle hops and Malto-Dextrin and set the timer for 60 minutes. With 20 minutes left, pause the timer, remove from heat, and add the 6# of DME. Stir until it is all dissolved, and then return the pot to the heat; resume the timer (still with 20 minutes left) when the wort comes to a boil. Proceed as usual. The finishing Cascade hops were actually added as 1/2 oz portions at 15, 10, 5, and 1 minute remaining.

Mirror Pond Pale Ale (Deschutes)

2004-08-06 12:20pm

Brewer here--I really like this beer, and think it comes close to SNPA. However, this summer I had some Mirror Pond Pale Ale (Deschutes Brewing Co, Bend, OR) and got to say: if anything, my recipe here is a (serendipitous) clone of that beer!
