Ingredients (All Grain25 L)

  • 4.75 kg 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.

The hop on this one will knock your socks off!

This is based on historical recipes for original IPAs. Totally overhopped but allowed to age 6 months in the bottle before sampling, it was great then but continues to mellow and get more complex with time. An expensive brew to make, but well worth it!
