    Made from Lager malt, it will add body and character to any light brew. Light malt extract will impart rich flavor compounds, ensure an excellent fermentation, and improve the clarity.

    Smooth taste, good head retention, sweet aroma and high gravity without being apparent. Use in Belgian and holiday ales. Use clear for tripels, amber for dubbels, and dark is used in brown beer and strong golden ales.

  • 1 1/2 oz Fuggle - 4.8 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Fuggle

    Mild. Mainly used for finishing and dry hopping especially pale ales, porters, and stouts. Aroma is mild and pleasant, spicy, and soft.

  • White Labs WLP075 Hansen Ale Yeast Blend

    White Labs WLP075 Hansen Ale Yeast Blend

    This is a blend of many IPA strain favorites. It has the attenuation of WLP090 San Diego Super Ale Yeast and the character of WLP007 Dry English Ale Yeast. This strain produces dry, hop-forward beers with minor ester production and is blend is a great flocculator.

Notes

This is my first time brewing. Perhaps I should have used a liquid scotch ale yeast instead of dry stuff. It took a couple of days but it is fermenting well and it smells great. It seems to fall somewhere between a scottish heavy and a strong scotch ale in style.
