Amazing Mild ale, loads of flavour for such a low gravity beer. A great session ale!

Ingredients (All Grain36 L)

  • 4.97 kg 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.

  • 0.28 kg British Dark Crystal

    British Dark Crystal

    Sweet caramel flavor, mouthfeel. For porters, stouts, old ales and any dark ale.

  • 0.19 kg English Chocolate Malt

    English Chocolate Malt

    Dark malt that gives a rich red or brown color and nutty flavor. Use for: Brown ales, porters, some stouts Maintains some malty flavor, not as dark as roasted malt.

  • 0.06 kg British Black Patent

    British Black Patent

    Dry, burnt, chalky character. Use in porters, stouts, brown ales and dark lagers.

  • 75 g Progress - 4.5 AA% whole; boiled 90 min

    Progress

    Simular to Fuggles but a little sweeter.

  • Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale™

    Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale™

    Highly flocculant top-fermenting strain with rich, malty character and balanced fruitiness. This strain is so flocculant that additional aeration and agitation is needed. An excellent strain for cask-conditioned ales.

Notes

This is a toatally delicious Mild, based on a recipe From Mitchells, it is incredibly flavoursome for such a low gravity beer. If you can't get Progress hops, substitute Fuggles. Any good, English ale yeast should work well in this beer, although the fruitier varieties are probably best.

BRILLIANT RECIPE

This is just about the perfect mild ale in my book. Plenty of flavour, nice and smooth. This is a good recipe to experiment with yeast choice. Scottish ale yeast, London ale yeast, burton ale yeast, all would lend there unique characteristics to this brew.
