First attept of using juniper to flavor a batch of beer. I was impressed with the Rouge Juniper pale ale and had to try to make my own creation.

Ingredients (Extract22 L)

  • 2.3 kg Liquid Light Extract

  • .7 kg Lyle's Golden Syrup

  • 26 g juniper berries - (omitted from calculations)

  • Danstar Nottingham

    Danstar Nottingham

    The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!

Notes

I used 0.7 kgs of high malt glucose and not the Lyle's golden that was in the menu. As of being a week in the bottle this turned out to be a nice brew, the next time I repeat this recipe I am going to double the amount of juniper berries that I used to flavor my batch.

This one worked out well, I have done this one as a RyePA before and the only change that I made was the addition of juniper berries. The next time I am decreasing the amount of hops I use, increase the juniper content and add another Kg. of honey to the mix.
