Ingredients (Extract5 gal)

  • 4 lbs Dry Amber Extract

    Dry Amber Extract

    Cream-colored and full-flavored; will produce amber colored beers such as pale ales, IPAs, and bitters. Made of pale and crystal malts.

  • 1 lbs Dry Dark Extract

    Used predominantly in the production of dark beers such as milds, browns, porters, and stouts.

  • 1 oz Cascade - 13.0 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Cascade

  • Imperial Yeast A09 Pub

    Imperial Yeast A09 Pub

    Brewers swear by this strain to achieve super bright ales in a short amount of time. One of the most flocculent brewer’s strains around, Pub will rip through fermentation and then drop out of the beer quickly. Pub produces higher levels of esters than most domestic ale strains. Be sure to give beers made with Pub a sufficient diacetyl rest.

Notes

This is an Outstanding Ale with a slight dryness but perfectly balanced malt and hops. The important thing is that you use 1 lb. dry Austrailian Dark DME. If you can't find it, e-mail me and I'll tell you where to get it. jimc13@juno.com
