Ingredients (All Grain, 21 L)
- 3 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.

Roasted Barley
Roasted Barley
Sweet, grainy, coffee flavor and a red to deep brown color. For porters and stouts.

British Crystal 55°L

White Labs WLP013 London Ale
White Labs WLP013 London Ale
Dry, malty ale yeast. Provides a complex, oakey ester character to your beer. Hop bitterness comes through well. This yeast is well suited for classic British pale ales, bitters, and stouts. Does not flocculate as much as WLP002 and WLP005.
Notes
After six days primary, two days secondary (had to rush this a bit) and only four days in the bottle, this is shaping up as a lovely ale. A little lighter colour than I'd been aiming for (again). Maybe a touch more crystal and roasted next time.
