Ingredients (All Grain5.5 gal)

  • 10 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.

    Midwest Wheat Malt

    Light flavor and creamy head. For American weizenbier, weissbier and dunkelweiss.

    Warm baked biscuit flavor and aroma. Increases body. Use in Belgian beers.

  • Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale™

This beer is okay, but nothing special. Bitterness carried through, but aroma was lacking. Ended up dryhopping to see if that helps with aroma.
