  • 1/4 tsp Irish Moss - (omitted from calculations)

    Irish Moss

  • 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 my first attempt to create something close to Smuttynose Old Brown Dog. I will have to tweak the amount of the malts to get the flavor right, then use that to make an all grain version. Add cracked Munich Malt, Crystal Malt, and Chocolate Malt to 2 gals of cold water and bring to boil. Remove the grain. Add the malt extracts and bring to a boil again. Add 2 oz Cascade hops. Boil for 40 mins. Add 1 oz of Willamette hops. Continue to boil for 20 mins. Sparge with cold water then add the wort to the fermenter with cold water to make 5 gals. Add yeast when the temp reaches 70. Ferment at 65 for 1 week or until fermentation slows, rack to a secondary fermenter. Let it age 1 week in secondary, then bottle or keg. For bottling, use 3/4 cup of corn sugar boiled with 2 cups of water added in the bottling bucket.
