Ingredients (All Grain, 10 gal)

2 lbs Maris Otter Pale

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.

Pronounced caramel flavor and a red color. For stouts, porters and black beers.
.5 lbs Candi Sugar Clear

Candi Sugar Clear

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 oz Galena - 13.1 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

Neutral. This hop can be very bitter, but blends well with finishing hops. Used in American ales and lagers, but suitable for all beer styles. Aroma is medium but pleasant.

White Labs WLP001 California Ale

This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance and ability to be used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely versatile.

Notes

Single step infusion mash at 152F for 60 mins. Charge the mash tun with hot water and strike 7.5 gals at 162F to settle at 152F. After 60 mins and starch test, second batch strike 7.5 gal at 175F to mash out at 170F 90 min boil. Notes: O.G: 1.055 F.G.: Mash temp was on the high side, so interested to see the body. Dry hopped 1 oz total into the primary 6 days after brewing.

I never got around to tasting side by side with Redtail, so I don't know how good of a clone this was. But it was a great american amber. Hop to malt ratio was perfect and there was just enough crystal malt sweetness. Great head on it and enough body while remaining refreshing.
