Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) • Extract • 5 gal

Ceannt

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.

Ingredients (Extract5 gal)

  • 6.67 lbs Light; John Bull

    Light; John Bull

    Made from Lager malt, it will add body and character to any light brew. Light malt extract will impart rich flavor compounds, ensure an excellent fermentation, and improve the clarity.

  • 1 lbs Dry Dark Extract

    Dry Dark Extract

    Used predominantly in the production of dark beers such as milds, browns, porters, and stouts.

  • 0.3 lbs Dark Brown Sugar

    Dark Brown Sugar

    Imparts rich, sweet flavor. Use in Scottish ales, old ales and holiday beers.

  • 1.5 oz East Kent Goldings - 5.0 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    East Kent Goldings

    Mild, slightly flowery.

  • 1 oz Fuggle - 4.8 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Fuggle

    Mild. Mainly used for finishing and dry hopping especially pale ales, porters, and stouts. Aroma is mild and pleasant, spicy, and soft.

  • 1 oz East Kent Goldings - 5.0 AA% pellets; boiled 5 min

    East Kent Goldings

    Mild, slightly flowery.

  • 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.
