Notes
Mash British 2-row Pale Malt and the specialty grain at 150°F (65.6°C) for 90 minutes. Sparge with 3.5 gallons of 170°F (77°C). Top off to make 6 gallons (22.7 liters). Bring the water to a boil, and add 7/8 oz. (28 g) East Kent Goldings (bittering hop). Boil for 45 minutes then add 1/2 oz. (14 g) East Kent Goldings (flavor hop) and 1 tsp. (5 ml) Irish Moss. Boil for 14 minutes then add 1/2 oz. (14 g) East Kent Goldings (aroma hop). Boil for 1 minute. Remove the pot from the stove and chill the wort for 20 minutes. Strain the cooled wort into the primary fermenter and add cold water to obtain 5-1/8 gallons (19.5 liters). When the wort temperature is below 80°F (26.6°C, pitch the yeast. Ferment in the primary fermenter for 7 days or until fermentation slows, then siphon into the secondary fermenter (5 gallon glass carboy). Bottle when fermentation is complete, target gravity is reached and beer has cleared (approximately 3 weeks) with: 1-1/4 cup (300 ml) M&F Extra Light Dry Malt Extract that has been boiled for 10 minutes in 2 cups (473 ml) of water. Let prime at 70°F (21°C) for approximately 4 weeks until carbonated, then store at cellar temperature.
