Bill's Mash Ale
This is one of my earlier all-grain beers. I must have been impressed. I was quoted is my notes as saying it was my best beer yet.
(Recipe for 16 litres)
5 lbs of 2-row Canadian malted barley
1 cup of crystal malt
1 tsp of Burton Salts
3/4 oz of Goldings Hop Pellets (bittering)
1/2 oz Goldings Hop cones (flavouring)
1/4 oz Goldings Hop Pellets (finishing)
3/4 lbs of sugar
2 packets of dry ale yeast
Method:
Use a step mash as described in "The Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian. Sparge and add the Burton Salts to the wort. Bring the wort to a boil and add bittering hops. Boil for 50 minutes before adding the flavouring hops. Boil for 10 more minutes and then add the finishing hops. Add the sugar and boil for 5 more minutes and then turn off heat.
Force cool using a wort chiller. Rehydrate yeast and add to aerated wort. Ferment as usual. Spg. 1.040.
My Notes: Excellent beer! Big favourite.
