Ingredients (Partial Mash5 gal)

  • 2.0 lbs American 6-row Pale

    American 6-row Pale

    Tends to increase lautering efficiency due to a stiffer husk. May be used as the base malt for any beer style. The enzymes in all varieties of the current crop are sufficient to support high percentages of specialty malts and adjuncts.

  • 2.0 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.

New to brewing and I picked this recipe randomly. A friend with experience brewing helped me out. The batch turned out absolutely fantastic. The flavor is wonderful. Everybody that has tried it has liked it. I don't think its just because they're trying to make me feel better. I can't say that I really followed the fermentation process very closely. I basically let it sit for a month and a week before we bottled it. I gave some bottles to my friend and he called back asking for the recipe.
