Ingredients (All Grain1 gal (imp))

  • 2.6 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.

    Roasted malt used in British milds, old ales, brown ales, nut brown ales.

  • .8 oz Fuggle - 4.8 AA% whole; boiled 90 min

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

overall this is a solid recipe. The ginger is subtle but provides some additional complexity with the Brit yeast used. The beer has a semi-sweet finish, but is not cloying by any means. Hops are balanced. Overall a pretty good beer.
