Irish Dubh-donn Ale

Irish Dubh-donn Ale

Specialty Beer • Extract • 1.00 gal

My first batch ever. "Dubh-donn" means "dark brown" in Gaelic, and it certainly is a dark brown ale. It turned out to be a hop monster, with not much malt taste to it. Carbonation isn't visible, but it bites once you taste it. Enjoy!

  • Danstar Windsor

    Danstar Windsor

    Windsor ale yeast is a true English strain that produces a beer which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. Beers created with Windsor are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Brewers choose Windsor to produce beers that range from pale ale to porter with moderate alcohol levels and the flavor & aroma characteristics of the best traditional ales. Depending on the composition of the recipe, Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation which will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Recommended fermentation temperature range for Windsor is 17° to 21°C (64° to 70°F).
