Hog Drool Ale
Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) • Extract • 5 gal
This is the only all extract recipie I have ever tried that I like. I came up with this back in the late '80s when I had a hard time getting grain... I actually used 1/2oz of Goldings and 1/2 oz of Fuggle hops at the end of the boil.

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
Dry Dark Extract added at beginning of boil (60-min), Light Liguid Extract and brown sugar added with 30-min. left in boil. I use very hard (limestone) tap water for boil, bottled spring water to bring to full volume.

I love this beer. I have not brewed it for several years, and almost forgot how good it is... and an all extract too! Very simple, almost brain-dead easy to brew, go figure... Very rich and sweet at first taste, and then the hops kick in. I believe this is my all time favorite hop profile.
